i am sick of readin crap talk and people going on about using rb20 heads, what do i need for 300hp and just people bumping posts to make themselves look good

i cant seach the post on its own for info on specialist modifactations..

downloading word version (so i can seach) only does 1st 15 pages or upto 22jun03 that leaves 90% hidden

and readin the post.. takes far too long and only has 1 or 2 relevant things on each full page.. the rest is people asking stupid questions..

i suggest someone in admid makes a proper non bullsh1t detail engine build guide for various power outputs.. -500 -800hp -1000hp maybe a guide on electronical fuel and driveline. etc.. i think this would be a better non timewasting soloution

life is to short to read a post which is 90% not important or related..eapecially when 260 pages..

i have had more help from sydney kid on his own than this whole website combined!!

any suggestions on downloading whole post.. so i can search keywords or similar..

dude there is a 1000 ways to skin a cat, and 100000 ways to make those kind of horsepower levels and 10000000000 posts on here telling you how to do it and 100000000000000 different budgets. If your such a newb to power building then a thread aint gonna be much good either as there is always going to be conflicting information. Your best bet is to doa s you have done and search out which members have the "better" reputations and ask for thier oppinion.

the object of a forum is for everyone to post there oppinions is is then your job to decide which is applicable to you. I can specify a 800hp package that cost 3000 and another for 30,000..... it depends on the application/ budget/ etc

The thread is down from around 300 pages.

I am cleaning it... albeit slowly as i have other pressing things that need sorting out on the forum :action-smiley-069:

The info is there, its (as URAS said) upto you to decide how you wanna go about it.

And its not "Admins role" to make up threads that cover each persons specific needs, thats your job. To research it yourself.

Admin is just here to oversee the running of the forum for the most part.

You basically want someone ELSE to sit down and do a write-up for you, thats just lazy.

Im sorry if this doesnt sit well with you, but it isnt going to change.

I agree, it is a bit of a pain and contains some doubled up info etc but it is getting cleaned up well.

I'm glad I made myself read it all and made notes on what parts / specs people use and noted the page numbers.

You only have to read it once then keep up to date with it every few days. :action-smiley-069:

i understand what your saying dude, that page gives me the shits even though theres some very useful info on there i feel its controlled by half a dozen or so people who are using it for chit chat and other questions not specifically related to the 30 convo and when you ask a legit question the reply is more often than not "go back and read"

"i really want more power from my 32/33 what do i need to do this conversion, my buudget is 5k of fluff" GIVES ME THE SHITSSSSS!!!

on the other hand its real good to see thats its being cleaned up, which as you can imagine will take a long time.

im actually looking at the conversion, and doing it myself ( over a long period of time haha)

and out of the information i got from it was quite useful, and went from 265 pages down to 1 page of what i need to know.

good thing to do at what URAS said was to read the posts of the ppl that actually know what they are saying and what you find useful

I know you are going to be skippin quite alot of some pages and is time consuming, but the build is time consuming aswell.

Plus on the thread, ppl might state how to convert and possibly go the long way about it, go cost effective way, or be expensive as shit. Depends on how much power you want in the end.

And what parts you plan on using.

But i do get what your saying how there is alot of shit on the thread, convos that go off topic, and ppl that dont know what they want.

Take the time to read and reread and digest the information thats important to you.

By the sounds of some ppl here they expect all the info given to them on a platter, if you were serious about doing this conversion you would want all the info u can get plus some more and not start useless topics like this one... This thread should be deleted. :P

Hi GDZ1LA it's true that reading the whole thread can be hard work. However, help is easy to find. The UK GTR site that prego mentioned is outstanding and so is the link to a detailed guide that Cubes has at the end of every post, which you only need click on to download. Some people have read both and posted with questions, and those who've done this conversion are only too happy to answer. R33 Racer, Cubes, Shanef, GTR Geoff and Sydneykid have been a real help to many of us including me.

The RB30 conversion dyno thread will also give you an idea of performance but bear in mind all configurations differ for obvious reasons.

Cheers

I 100% agree, posts like yours suck and 99% of your posts are crap like the one asking for details and specs of big skylines for your so called website, do your own homework and get over yourself as we all start somewhere even if its 300hp

How about if the forum sucks so much we ban you?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I had absolutely no symptoms whatsoever that anything was wrong.... I'm very happy it was all spotto'd and re-bled and re-torqued and aligned though. Will be picking it up tomorrow and undoubtedly be like "Oh, that clunk is gone" "Oh, the car really wants to drive straight" "Oh, that pedal feels better" "Oh, it feels like I've gained 25hp" "Oh, the handbrake works now" It should have been a sign that the new Project Mu shoes had 3mm of pad depth on them out of the box, and the OEM ones from 25 years ago that we took out also had 3mm of pad depth, implying the issue was not, and never was the shoes, but we put that down to it not being adjusted correctly. It wasn't, but it wasn't even adjustable at all given one side was boned and the T Junction of the cables was on a 45 degree angle, the non-working side being the one on the massive angle. Obviously when I had adjusted it and reset it and re-tensioned it I had either got it stuck or something along those lines. Oh well. Live and learn and absolutely could have been catastrophically worse so I'm rationalizing it as a win, kinda. I also got the chance to measure the distance between rear rim and the suspension arm/shocks and found a 30mm rubber block only just doesn't fit there. Which is great to know before ordering wheels, when I assumed 30mm was easy. The man with the Porsche adapters has rims that use 23.9mm of that space, so it's safe to assume I have between 23.9 and 29.9mm of space there to play with on the inside. The wheels looked pretty stupidly pokey with the 20mm spacers on the rear, only for me to find that the studs come out another 12mm and the wheel doesn't actually sit flush with the hub because you're supposed to cut your original studs. The wheels do have cutouts that kinda accomodate it, but not fully. So my 20mm spacer was anywhere between 25mm and 35mm. ~25mm and send it will determine on where the wheels sit with the spacers on. When I put the pads in for the track day I will mess around with spacers (with wheels that do not clear studs properly when mounted to spacers) and do more math, for the last time, for the 7th time.

      Lucky pick up Best to find these things before something horrible happened to the yoke flange thingies I would hate to think what would happen if it dropped the tailshaft  Hopefully the holes are not flogged out in the yokes and it was just the bolts that got munted  As for the hand brake.....ouch, look like the disc got rather hot, and I assume smokey, I recall when I had a front caliper seize on the Commodore, there was lots of smoke and the disc was glowing cherry red when I was able to eventually stop and have a look, and stopping a big heavy car, going down a big hill with some rather high RPM down shifts and some hand brake action is something that makes you think hard about life

      One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that one side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.
