What the hell is in the r32 at the 4min 18sec mark?

Another RIPS RB30'd car?

Lol, yeah thats Joes GTR, runs mid to low 10s and on that run I gave him a good head start so I could wind the old turbo up for a nice wheelie, lol.

Joes been around in that car for a long time and its bloody quick for a full weight streeter, he's a top bloke too.

I remember after one race we had about a year ago, he came up to me and said in a joking way said he was pissed off and going home casue he'd never been passed by someone who was on the back wheels before, lol, it was real funny at the time.

So close to the RB26 record :)

Whats Marks best time and mph now? any idea of the weight and whp of his car?

I'd love to get on a decent Aussie track, Reece is very sure we'd drop 2-3 10ths and gain 5-10mph on your FAR superior strips.

Not 100% sure, dirtgarage will know for sure, but isnt 7.57 still the record?

Ah, I thought you ment Mark, Yeah Reece has run 7.57 in Aussie but I'm not sure if he was still 26 or not.

We have run very close to Reeces quickest NZ time so thats good enough for me in what is basicly a back 1/2 street car.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.

      As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers.

      Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
