His daily driver is an E46 M3.

He has more money then sense, nice guy. Weird conversion for an R34 though.

what the hell is wrong with some of u guys. fmic's on mercedies...oh no :P

it is called progress, if no one pushed the boudaries, no one would develop new concepts.

i remember ages ago a silvia with a rb26dett was considered 'crazy' now it is the norm.

really are u angry at these concepts?!?!?

I love good new concepts.. I was just questioning the sanity of somebody who grabs a late model merc and cuts it up.

My point was simply that some mods go hand in hand.. like a WRX motor in a combi.. both have boxer engines.. similar sizes, just that the WRX motor is much more refined and is actually reliable.. the rotor is just a weird choice.. but still a much better choice than the stock junker!

so take that approach, y cut up a new merc? sure pimp the fat VIP ride out. bling the butt off it. 20" rims, black tint is cool.. but,

I fail to see how fat VIP cars with a massive shiny FMIC is progress!!

Totally trashed the whole look. couldn't he fit a water/air cooler in it?

So if you wonna pay big bucks for a merc and cut it up to fit the FMIC.. go for it. U better hope that somebody else thinks its a cool idea when u try and sell it! That isn't progress.

Progress would be fitting the water/air cooler, or a side mount supercharger. a total stealth look, nobody would know you have messed with the car.. Keep the super lux VIP image.. just u added some horsepower.

otherwise it just looks like a lame boy-racer attacked it.

No Mark, He had the motor built for the Silvia (04FAT) WHICH HE still ownes I might add. It was a good idea at the time, as he already has a built SR20 and teh conversion hasnt been done around here. He doesn't like the car that much and wished he just built an rb for the GTT now.

04FAT which now has a pretty basic SR20 is still for sale.

can u fit a bent 8 into an s2000? Now that would be cool.. and the little bugger would actually go,

instead of making heaps of noise! lol. then add boost!

I saw a proto-type V8 (i think was a ducatti)a few years back. It was 1000cc, varable intake manifold the works.. reved to 11000rpm or higher.. I always thought that would transplant into a suzuki mity boy really well!

Thats different!

V8 mini's take the cake

Do a youtube search on "V8 mini" and see what the nut bags do with em...

Some are really tough race cars and you would not want to take them on, others are major bodge jobs and you would not want to be near them at all...

      rb20 r31 dies after revving (idles fine and no sputter)

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      You've given zero info about your setup. Step 1: make sure all the standard equipment are working as they should. If they're not, go investigate why. Step 2: Make sure all your wiring is done properly. Know which RB20 you have, most likely "silvertop" a.k.a R32/A31 anything after 1989. Step 3: make sure your ECU is tuned properly. Standard will barely run in this situation.

      Depending on your use case, prop valve will almost always be a better choice.

      Coilovers, what to choose?

      I think... in the US, Silvermax is the equivalent of BC Racing, i.e. cheap Taiwanese built suspension that gets turned for "local" conditions. Back in the day in Australia, you could get MCA street for about $1300 and they were awesome. Don't know about now... In saying that, my real world TEIN experience: I got some street basis z for my old Liberty (BR9), and they were awesome ($800-odd delivered from demon-tweeks in the UK). so Don't discount TEIN

      100% this. Long ago, I had a guy from the R31 club who set my BNR32 up (adjustable arms all round). He did an awesome job, was an after-work kinda thing where I had to bring a slab of beer. My car never drove better, and I stupidly got a random tyre shop to check the toe angles when I changed tyres, and they ruined the alignment. tl:dr- it takes a lot of skill to set up your car lowered from factory properly, and is worth paying the $200+ it takes.
