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. :)

  • 2 weeks later...

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...

    • I've run most of the semis which are available and sadly you can pretty much rank them by price.  Fast and spendy = Z221, A050, DZ03G Ok and mid range price = R888, V70A, A052 I don't really rate the AR-1 because it's not cheap enough for the performance level offered. Yes, they're much cheaper than A050 but V70A can be had just as cheap and is a much faster and more predictable tyre.
    • There's no current law that stipulates that you cannot eat dessert with a soup spoon, although, it is socially unacceptable of course, shame on you But, there are emissions laws, which is sort of on topic to the OP's questions Things like emissions are, if anything, going to get stricter in the future for road registered cars I believe, 'Merica has yearly emisions testing in some states, the UK has it's yearly MOT testing as well which includes emissions Building, and purchasing modified vehicles may become alot more problematic if you want to keep them registered, how, if, and when each state handles this is anyone's guess  More food for thought really
    • I'm on the AD09, strictly on the street. They are a very nice tyre, have done ~16k km and are near the end, might make it to 20. They are, in my opinion, very much just a street tyre. I wouldn't expect them to be equivalent to some of the others in your list on the track. Although I'd be pleasantly willing to be surprised. My memory of the AD08Rs is vague enough, due to the passage of time, that I shouldn't try to compare them, but I feel as if the AD09 is not quite as "sporty" as the AD08R was.
    • There's a difference between "selling" a product to someone (which, if you walked into a workshop or bricks and mortar store and bought and walked out with it, is just the act of buying and selling) and rolling your buggy into a workshop and having them fit non-roadworthy stuff to the car. And for the latter, let's ignore any potential legal loophole arguments that the armchair lawyer might want to make to differentiate between supplying your own parts to be fit by the workshop or getting the shop to supply and fit. The workshops that have been dealt with in the US for this are in the latter category. It would be near impossible to try to charge/attack/criminalise a shop for selling "for off road use only" parts to someone unless those things were intrinsically illegal in their own right, or had other legislation wrapped around them, such as there is for guns, pharmaceuticals, etc. Well, no. And you knew your argument was silly when you made it. And there is. it might be somewhat harder in Vic, but then that's the price you pay for electing the long list of (unts that you have to run the whole shit hole**. But otherwise, you can put an aftermarket or otherwise tunable ECU into a car and get it run through the whole shebang of emissions testing as part of an engineering cert and, so long as the tune is "locked" afterwards, then that modification is on the list that is approved on the cert. But....it is an expensive process. ** Of course, the (unts who make up a large proportion of the population that eternally try to get around the rules are also a part of the problem and the reason that you end up with draconian rules in the first place. By contrast, SA was founded and the government and civil service set up and run by very sensible types (largely German) who set up good structures that enabled a lighter touch of government on the somewhat better behaved population. it is only more recently that we have followed the rest of Australia down the criminal drainhole of penal colony behaviour and now we have to catch up with mobile phone cameras and so on.  
    • Not specifically the revamp Toyos. In the past I've used Nitto NT01s, which were essentially the same compound as R888 with a different pattern (that's what the internetz said, so just be facts). I did like the NT01, progressive fade, didn't go from grip to 0 grip in a split second. If you look at the serious street/track guys, most are either on Cup 2, A052, A050, AD09, CR-S or AR-1.
