Wow, only ever seen one other rb graph that looks better than that (racepace rb29)

Seriously well done to all involved, if it had grip it would be a really great thing to drive

It will have grip Steve. the tyres on it atm are just some nankangs that we use for the dyno

Track spec is going to be something entirely different.

I have to give credit to Marty White for the job he did on the head. It looks like bugger all but as he said, watch it spool. And boy! does it spool.

well done mate bout time someone went all out on a .82 35r. exactly what im going to do eventually. perfect street turbs imo, can do so many things well. is 10.25 the highest lift with a 25 head ?

sorry mate i missed your post.

No 10.25 is not the highest you can go. Once you do the solid lifter conversion you can use pretty much any cam a gtr can use.

As for the turb, well, what can you say. It spools like shit off a :ermm: shovel. Luvit.

lol 550hp and nankangs, that must be hilarious attempting to drive it on full throttle.

Fk he must have balls of steel. My 34 gtt with catback and 12psi only just, just holds on in second on a smooth road. With more than twice the rwkw, that man can drive haha

somethings wrong with your suspension/tyres. at 200kw i could hold traction in 1st gear.

Tired old stock suspension maybe? Not sure, but the tyres are shit. In first it feels fast when it grips, but most of the time there's slippage. In second, on a dry fairly smooth it's good. Not talking about tyre burning wheel spinning here, just not true grip.

Not sure what it's like up there with >2x the rwkw n1gtr, but rain plus boost plus rwd on 265 nankangs doesn't work. Accelerating from lights I get overtaken by everything. That's one of the reasons I went for duel boost, so I have 7psi for rain, lol and when others drive it.

I guess it's different when you have that much power at hand, you'd use less throttle to get the same thrill/overtaking.

Edited by Galois
even 215 decent tyres stretched like hell would grip better than 265 nankangs, they are about as good as bob jane all rounders.

Never trusting a tyre dealer again. They started to rubber in after 5000km, before that it was horrific. Still pretty bad though, will go kumho's next time.

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
