That DR is for sale.

Ben Ellis had it at the IDA drift day at Oran Park in Feb this year.

You have the best CAM maker in the country up there near you, Tighe Engineering, they made my n/a cams, brand new, just needed my stock cams for samples to cast the billet blank.

Cheers,

do you mean as in ivan tighe?

Sure do!!!

He made our RB26/30DE hybrid cams.

The wildest duration, over 350 degrees each for the princely sum of $840.00 pair.

When searching around, HKS, Trust, Tomei etc were all that much & more EACH and could/would not supply bigger than 284's.

damn thats crazy!

i've driven a r31 gts-x with the nics red top and there was nothing there to make me smile in my eyes my rb30e goes harder, from memory the nics red top was only 20hp more than the l20et, to its defence though it was the very next 6cyl engine nissan produced after the l20et, silver top has 205hp at the fly same as the intercooled fj20, produces around 15 more Nm at 6500rpm and with around $2500 in mods should produce around 160rwkws, rb25 turbo and remap 180-200wrkw, vg30 turbo and remap of stock ECU 200-220rwkw...parts and upgrades are at your fingertips from a range of places!! my two cents...

Was it an auto GTS-X by chance? The NICS RB has 180hp if I recall rightly,and the L20et had 145hp? Auto kills the NICS,but 5spd isn't much better. You must have had a freaky RB30E if it went better than a manual RB20DET! I've owned both,and know what I'd prefer.Not that I particually like RB20DET's either........

once the turbo runs at full rpm (silver top makes full power at 6500 engine rpm)its not going to produce more power so the only way to go faster would be to change gear

Yes,I am aware of that :D I was commenting on their ability to rev more than 5k.

No thanks, Butchery is not my stock & trade.

I meant with the proper machinery, ie a lathe, hence its not butchery but a modification....if you arent into modification, why are you messing with adj cam gears?

no offence

A GTS2 RB30E is good for 145Kw at the fly.

i think it was just a sh%t example of a gts-x :D

Hey Guys!! Got my clutch and all that in now, she's sweet as!! Ran my water lines to my turbo, thats sweet as as well just need my hose clamps for the oil return line and the turbz is finished!! Then i need to find my panels :bs!: and its almost ready to go!!

As a quick question, what do u rekon a stock DR30 Fj20 exhaust manifold is worth selling for???

hmm my mate has a gts-x, its got a deep dark secret under the bonnet though!!!

silver top rb20det eccs, with nics finned red rocker covers!! highflow turbo, fmic, mines ecu

the bloody TPS has shat itself though.

that car does sound amazing even with a stock zorst, incredible spool noise. catches many unaware

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear 
    • so I need a new speedo cable 
    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
