if u want reliability then stick with the rb20

funny that the rb20 is older yet seems there is many more 25's and 26's blowing up... maybe due to the fact that every man and his dog has either an r33 or 89 gtr

reliability or does that mean their owns drive like girls?

seriously, I reckon it had an rb20 in it for a very good reason and should stay an rb20

rb20's are fullly sick

except for the externally gated ones. they're gay.

anyways

r32 - 2530 - 12psi - bilstein suspension - power fc (me)

r33 - stock turb - 10-11psi - stock suspension - stock ecu (liz)

=

@ oran park

r32 just keeping infront of the r33

alittle more work i think is needed for the r32's to keep up

I reckon with the weight of the r32, really you don't need the extra power (don't hit me for saying this) of the rb25, just need to put a little more coin into it as george said.

nathy boy

obviously your driving ability out does mine....... quite obvious!

so i was using liz as an example because i would say her ability and mine are similar. Dont you think??

As your pointing out she should of whipped my ass if she was at your level? right?

and i was refering to the aaron mcgill day not long ago not the renew day @ oran park.

my previous comments were based on the fact that two similar drivers in an r32 and a r33, the r32 would need more to keep up in my opinion. i think you took my post the wrong way mate. just have another read of it

werent u running semi slicks???

cheers

George

I'll whip you both next time, hope that'll settle the argument.

well i can say only one thing. dollar for dollar id go the RB 26 way. that engine has prooven its self. it is world renowed for its strength, ease of tune. that engine is just the monster of an engine. when i started workin and i went on vacation to europe i could have bought a second hand ferrari 575M fairly cheap ($100K) but still i choose my R33 skyline above its. als for the RB 20 and RB25, the rb 20 will be way to laggy on low reve if using a big turbo, the Rb 25 (i dont have much experience with that RB 25) could also be a monster of a engine. but still id go the GTR RB 26 way

Umm liz I'll keep my comments to myself about you whipping me...

No i wasn't running semi's at oran park but at wakie yes. to tell the truth i think your car should be faster as being lighter of the two and with mods.

RB20 with std ECU, cat back exhaust , air filter and a FMIC but on used crappy 2nd hand tyres that i use to use for track days... my RB20 is quicker then your RB25, and you had semis :( So the engine cant be that different in the grand scheme of things. More displacement would be great. I still think you can end up with the sort of power im making now for less money then an RB25 transplant, which will give you about 200rwkws. I woudl be amazed if there was a 200rwkws RB25 out there quicker then my car!?!?!?!?!?!

RB20 POWAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

I've never been in Roy's but from the dyno graph it does look impressive, looks like it has that 'fun' factor. :)

Darren and Chris were driving it with the old tune and exhaust housing (didnt you have a drive as well?), it is completely different now. I still dont think it was too bad before.

Just wait until Dutton in a few weeks, be funny to see how the stock std ol RB20 goes against some of the exotics at Sandown and Winton...cant wait.

Nope haven't taken it for a spin... :(

I miss rev's... :(

Ha Ha, we are all very passionate about our cars it seems. I'll be at wakefield as well and hope to see most of you there. There was a mention of traction however the GTS-4 is available as well. Good to hear the fors and againsts.

Hmm, were you intending to start a catfight?

Which car is faster at the drags depends mostly on the size of your wallet.

Which car is faster in the twisty mountain passes depends on driver skill.

I have spent less all up on my 32 gts4 (inc. purchase price) thank my friend has spent modifying his 33 gtr and I still keep up with him in the twisties... Im not saying im brock jr, he just loves getting the thing out of shape, does'nt care for balance.

    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
    • That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect 
    • i cant get them all in 1 screenshot unfortunately as i just dont know how to move things around tbh, but they are all from the same log and the line crosses at the same point for all of them
    • It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
