Hi all,

i was just wondering if anyone knew of a place in queensland i can get new parts for my rb20det motor, i've been lookin around and no one seems to be able to get anything, i've even had difficulty getting an exhaust manifold gasket (the one between the head and manifold).I'm in toowoomba by the way so anywhere in bris is fine cause i don't mind the drive. At the moment i'm looking for a rebuild kit, anyone know where i can get one

thanks in advance,

Busta-P

hey mate

dan from elite has just rebuilt my rb20 and has been able to source everything that is required for a killer build.

you could do much worse than emailing him what you are after.

i do know that my pistons took awhile to come, but it will be worth it

thanks 83nno so far 3lit3 32 has been awesome and i will definitely be doing business with him, another question i have for everybody is, i have heard of using rb25det cams in an rb20det is there any truth to this and if i use them what sort of positive gains (if any) will this achieve?

I doubt it would do much (if they fit that is) as they both have 240 degrees on the int and ext and both have 7.8mm lift there is a slight differnce in the lobe centre angle but Dan would be the man to ask for sure :(

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By BaronOBeefdip · Posted

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.

      It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!

      HKS stroker kit step 0/1 or HKS GTIII 2530

      Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.

      The downside to that is that the cost of everything, particularly labour, is significantly higher here than it is over there in the Disunited States of Slavery. You can hire 3 tradesmen over there for just the Ranger Raptor allowance of a single 3rd year apprentice over here.
