wogboy - I sold it to a guy in tasmania almost a year ago. He had a new motor to put in it but i haven't seen or heard about the car since he bought it. I'd love to see it now.

Skyline17 - Thanks. Yeah i got that comment alot many people didn't like the rims. I personally thought they suited the car but they definitly didn't help any weight/performance issues. If i still had it i'm sure i would've changed them by now.

I thought it was the same one that I've seen around here in Burnie, N.W Tas. Haven't seen it for awhile.

So Wogboy had the new owner changed the rims since you've seen it in Tas? What you think of it in person?

When I saw it, it was pretty much the same as in the pics. Not a big fan of the slab sided side skirts but the rest of the car was sweet :D

what is this front bar? and where do i find one?

am i right in assuming its a standard one? but only on certain 34's?

its the front bar off the nismo aero kit im pretty sure. finding one........good luck. mine got a bit of a prang and the body shop tried east, usa and japan and no luck! kept getting the wrong photos sent pretty rare. luckily i had no cracks so a re bake and mould and twas right

Cheers NA_Goodness... Glad you like it... The NA/P plate factor was the main reason for goin that style as well :D

hey mate,

ive also seen that car driving around down here in tasmania, in the devonport area though..

so is it N/A or turbo?

on the street it certainly looks very attention grabbing, i dont mind the style myself, but doubt i would feel comfortable cruising around in it, well done anyway though!

if you dont mind me asking how much did you sell it for?

Hey,

Why wouldn't you feel comfortable? Bit too full on you reckon?

When I sold it it was N/A but i'm pretty sure the guy had a new motor waiting for it over in Tazzi. whoops not sure if this edit works but out of respect for new owner probably shouldnt say what i sold it for.

Apart from the car, what do people think of the actual photos? Which style photo is preferred?

Edited by Notorious32

Some photos, but a little bit over exposed on the front for pics 1, 2 and 3. Number 4 is perfect on the car, but the back ground again is too exposed. Maybe shooting at a later time would help? As for the pics themselves, that all look good! Nice angles. Are they hosted off FaceBook? Because they seem to have lost a lot of the previous quality.

Yeah they are hosted of facebook haha i don't have the originals on this computer. The shots were taken at about 2am in the morning just playing with exposures and shutter speeds etc.. I didn't set up any lights and used a dark corner because the fluros around the corner were giving me the shits.

Aaron from import monster (such an awesome guy) let me borrow a set of wheels for a show and shine. soi took some happy snaps :thumbsup: if your interested he is selling these wheels http://www.importmonster.com.au/shop/produ...2d8fd2b261f0b6a

19" Advan T6 forged wheels running 19X9 +20 fronts and 19X10 +25 rears. fronts on 215 rubber and rears on 235 so pretty stretched but no scrubbing what so ever and guards have not been rolled :D

Wow that looks pretty fkn aggresive man. You should buy them for your car.

Just needs to be black, not a fan of the colour but may look better irl.

Suprised the rears didn't rub, my 18 x 9.5 + 22 would rub at the back with the guards not rolled with 1 passenger.

lol thanks man. ye the colour is something i want a fan of eaither but it grew on me lol.

i was surprised the rears didnt rub either. at that height i had about 1mm gap between the rubber and the guards but the rears are stiff as rock so wasnt much movement. plus the streatched rubbers helped also

    • LS is a good motor, but it hurts my soul when I see it in a RB. Guess it fixes the oiling issues lol.
    • I'm confused. Does this qualify as "Gregging" or are you somehow avoiding the Gregging?
    • More assembly going on, with all sorts of "bolt right on bro" scenarios going on here. Smartly, PTV clearance was checked. And I say smartly because it turns out that the intake was 0.009" from piston meeting valve. This is 0.23mm. This is very not okay. A fast meeting was facilitated between engine builder in Australia and engine builder in the USA which was actually incredibly helpful and constructive actually, various ideas thrown around to get around this issue including: 1) Retard the cam timing which would have brought the exhaust valve closer to meeting piston (it was 0.065") which was uncomfortably close to begin with, and change the cam profile making it 'laggier' 2) Much larger head gaskets which would reduce compression, but half the point of this was to increase compression. 3) New set of pistons ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) 4) All of the above 5) Get ghetto The concept is you get sticky sandpaper and stick it back to a valve, slightly larger than the valve you/I'm using, like say from a LS3/rectangle port head. You now have a very super advanced flycutting tool to modify your pistons in your block. Then you install it in your head, and attach the other end of the head to a drill. Then you just replicate your valve smashing into a piston with your spinning drill.   This is the result. Repeat many times. It is strongly recommended you have some kind of fixed stop when doing this for extremely obvious reasons because if you press too hard then you're well into apocalyptic repercussion land. The minimum clearance on the intake valve is now 0.075" this is still in the "Too close to be really comfortable" and into "It should be fine" land. Supposedly in the real world the clearances will be slightly bigger. Guess this is what happens when people push envelopes for N/A engines instead of adding boost! Time to move onto the new, upgraded, higher ratio roller rockers from Yellaterra, all tapped and threaded with a stronger bolt for better stability. Very nice. Lets see how they fit. For f**ks sake. Time to bring the grinder out for these aftermarket, machined and CNC'd heads. Looks like the new, beefier rocker from YellaTerra has gone from Bolt on part to "Bolt on part". Well, lets see how this bolt on crank scraper and windage tray goes then, shall we? There actually is more clearance than they specify for this thing, but seeing it all move as you check it is terrifying when you see it all so very very very very nearly hit things. But after all, this is what the item is designed to do after all and actually did bolt on perfectly and have enough clearance to everything and some very clear and direct instructions. So +1 to Improved Racing I suppose. As above with the windage tray on. Photo of breaker bar wonkiness for added lols. Next up: Oil pump/front cover/water pump/sump and then it's time to actually install the heads, pushrods, head bolts, valve cover gaskets and such is all there and ready to go. (except the oil pump bolts which were previously longer for more clearance with the previously perfectly installed double row timing chain). There's definitely a sense that someone other than us has been here before and done everything perfectly, or at least considered it and came up with working solutions. Perhaps the previous cam was 6deg advanced to avoid PTV issues with the milled stock heads? In any case when I attempt to sell this stuff the buyers are going to be very directly informed.
    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
