Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

if that was the case, then 1/2 psi extra boost on a car with STD internals would take care of that.

Peeps generally do a rebuild with forged pistons and aftermarket rods to be able to cope with more HP, RPM & strength.........not for better response.

Alot of people dont realise this.

Driving home today i noticed the RB30 in my daily driver has done a bottom end bearing....sucks considering its a really tight motor, Brand new head, no lifter noise what so ever. So thats a job for the weekend. :laugh:

ive teed it up with ryan to have my new rotors installed when they arive, now to find a decent set of pads, and fluid.

:laugh:

Craig, Steve Madaz & I are doing our brakes soon with the EBC Redstuff....I've looked long and hard for a pad that has good cold bite for street use that's reasonably quiet, has reasonable fade resistance for light track work, low dust effect and without being too aggressive on rotors.

If you remember I posted this thread Brake Pads and the general consensus from the likes of Evil34, PureSX, Ryan & Jenkies (just to mention a few) was that the EBC stuff is pretty good, not to mention cheap and available on the Groups Buys .

The EBC Greenstuff seems to be good for street use but the Redstuff would be better for street/light track work, plus they're ceramic so very quiet & low dust. The Yellowstuff seem the way to go for heavier track work but also dustier, noisier and more aggressive on your rotors.

Hope this helps

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
