Im still the winner so far!!

With a plain bearing internal gated dinosaur from 1987 :(

But when carls is finished it should be a serious piece of gear. Glad to see someone throw some serious coin at an RB20 and share all the details as well. For that I congratulate you and wish you all the best..

back in your box. you lucky devil got most of the good gear from the factory (manifold, turbo, fmic etc)

I cant help but wonder how cool RB20s would have been if Nissan kept with the GTS-R theme with the R32 and Touring Car racing. We would all be driving cars with the grunt that yours and Carlh are makinh :thumbsup:

final assembly done...motor is due to go into car tommorow with any luck it will be done.

Im with mattsr and cubes!!!!!!!! Give it some real boost. After all, that GT30R is only having fun at 22 psi and you have engine capable handling more now. Bring it on :)

I have been watching this thread. Beautiful work. Cant wait to see the results.

BTW where did you get the turbo from? I thought the "real" GT30R still werent available in Aus....

You know that you now have wet our appetites with pics :) , so we're gona want some audio clips when its done :(

Ciao

thanks for the kind words...going to school and trying to rebuild a car is hard, so its taken a while to work and save money to fix the old girl.

im actualy in the USA, so i got the turbo here no problem, www.phoenixturbo.com was the place where i got mine and they were great to deal with...

i look so much fatter than i am, damn baggy shirt...

Awsome work Carl, looks top notch and should make some awsome numbers. what was the head stud kit worth? what head gasket did you use?

Damn HKS low mounts and tiny engine mount clearance, my 2871r with a .6 cover only just fits aswell, make sure you get some tough intake piping to stop it rubbing through when your engine bucks. :happy:

I hate those clips you can’t save them (very GOOD sounding rb20):(

if its youtube or google vid then you can. Google something along the lines of "saving youtube videos" and there is a script to install on mozilla :P (shit quality, but hey)

    • I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless
