well you got 500cc over me... but I got less weight (well if i take the amp n subs out). I also got mandrel bent extractors and 2.5" exhaust all the way (my only claim to mods), front n rear struts, and apparently aftermarket shocks... so it should be good. My tyres are wierd, they're goodyear f1's which i swear I will never use in my life again... they slide for any reason. Luckily I got LSD n stuff.

I guess this means its on... next drags we have... we shall race to see who takes home the "consolation prize for n/a drivers" trophy. :)

Just saw this thread, good to see something for us NA boys!!

FunkyMonkey, you are not alone! ive also got the RB20DE in my R32!

regarding the RB30 conversion, a bloke here in canberra is currently doing one with a NICS RB20 head and a GTR twon turbo zorhst manifold, the only problems so far that he has come across is the mounting points for the exhaust manifold dont quite line up as in the tabs on the manifold are in the completely wrong places, nothing that a couple of hours with a welder wont fix!

also with the RB30, the standard head uses a 2 valve per cylinder system while the actual original pistons have allowances for 4 per cylinder (if u get what i mean confused myself with that one!) and where the timing belt tensioner goes, there is a blocked off section of the engine that just requires to be drilled out and a thread tapped into it

almost makes the conversion sound easy!

hehehe yeah conversions always seem so simple

btw, i MIGHT be selling my old rb25de and gearbox ecu and loom after i put the rb25deT in :P

it got me 96rwkw UNTUNED (timing was well off so it should make around 100 maybe more and thats not that far off the r32 gtst's stock power :D

so yes, i will work out what im doing then advertise here first before advertising out to the public (if i decide to sell)

I jus got a valuation for my car done... currently its valued at more than an R32 GTSt hehehe reason being that its no longer available for import and R32 compliance plates are rarer than hen's teeth :P

So I think I might keep my "beast" in stock form till I decide to get a better car (betcha I end up with an R32 GTR). I might jus concentrate on the interior (leather upholstery n AV n stuff). Not like I get to go fast these days anyways...

I'm def gettin old... goin fast no longer appeals to me, I like doin the corners and puttin the handling of the car to its limits better.

Funkeymonkey am I to believe that you've got some aftermarket extractors on your beast? Did you fit them and if so where did you get 'em. My standard system is about kapoot and I've gotta start looking around, thought I may as well go for the lot. By the way, just thought I'd let you know I recently drove from Tassie to Sunshine Coast and back, not one stone chip.

lol juniorrrrrr (u can change what it says btw)

anyways, yeah i got aftermarket Jasma stainless steel extractors on mine, it came attached to a whole 2.5" mild steel exhaust (all mandrel bent)... but the mild steel went kapoot, and my compliancer put a very restrictive cat in the system creating a bottleneck, so I got rid of it n put a hi flo 2.5" cat and redid the whole exhaust in stainless steel n mated it to the extractors.

All up the extractors were free and the cat back exhaust cost me $900 (with labour... whole job was done in 4 hours).

hey funky......

i made that trip to sydney we were talking about a while ago...

i did get a few stone chips from different things...i was amazed with the amount of skylines and just general imports around the liverpool/enfild/bankstown area where i was staying.....

going to bed, i still tired from leaving melb fri morn, then leaving syd sun morn hehehe

cheers

lol u'r smack bang in the heart of leb/import car city lol...

you'll have plenty of street drags in that area :D and you'll see a lot of done up excels and gemini's too... be careful of them... if you see em juscut em off... they dun deserve to be on the road... don't worry about ettiquette, everybody else in sydney hates em too...

oh and all syd drivers will think you can't drive, so jus run em off the road too...

    • Donut tried them out, they were fine as long as the bolt or nut wasn’t very tight 
    • It is a very complicated plastic tank. Sitting between the rear seats and the rear subframe. Requires a siphon venturi pump in the hat to suck the fuel from the passenger side to the driver side of the tank. The answer is probably prepping the tank very carefully to eliminate all fuel fumes, drilling any cracks to stop propagation, then plastic weld. I don't really see any other solution here. 
    • Does anyone know when your oil drops viscosity, if it is an issue? I imagine with tuned cars they will be overfueling more compared to a stock standard car and will thin out over time. 
    • anyone ever used these ? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/186214260439?_skw=socket+set&itmmeta=01JEG3TKV388ZXGP8N7CHNCQ45&hash=item2b5b3c1ed7:g:mhAAAOSwwB9lf~Xm&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAAwHoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKkJwJeiNMm%2FsStacz%2BhjzBowaFnbNCowwe08vVGrW0FbesCs%2Flw%2FQYjDQLjKsuKvgysWT9%2F4b9AZUX3qLP5RDfFhtD8DxufvqBbyZrQAQXuG3h8%2BxxqhWhH8fIfU84eA9W7VIpxDNw9MWj9BdfkkMasYhcqOjTrcKwLyD3ftzZbaZb2Us7%2FFR1Q2kcT68ZYRU77%2F%2BtRr1qBS27BXxh%2FjWBQxhWyUcLlEFIb%2BITZPIKwxQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABlBMUOy96oP0ZA   I believe the idea being, the rods push back around the shape of whatever nut you put in there. Sounds pretty handy to just need to carry 1x socket in the car for 'most sizes'  but, theory vs reality, anyone tried them?
    • I'm not that familiar with R33 tanks. Plastic? Up behind the rear seat between the towers? Or under the boot floor like a normal car? It's the battery that's up between the towers isn't it? So, plastic tanks. Well, um. The obvious reco is plastic welding, which you'd only look at asking someone who's really good at to contemplate trying. The fuel contamination and grot is probably going to make it quite difficult though. Whether plastic or steel - the end of the crack will want to be drilled before any welding or sealing is done. Otherwise it will just continue to wander along until something bad happens. Steel tank? The obvious answer is drain, wash, purge with inert gas and drill the crack end and weld/braze/silver solder/whatever the guys who do that to fuel tanks recommend. I had a crack/hole/leak in the bottom of a Commodore tank (oe was it my ALFA? - can't remember) that I slammed some gorilla snot onto and it never leaked again. It worked surprisingly well. Or, it's time to fab a new tank.
