Nice, We did that for my RB25 for my old 32 and for Annas SR20...so much easier than getting one built yourself! And cheaper too, My 25 cost me 4000 bucks and the SR cost 800 and a pair of brembos for a R33 GTR ha ha

I couldnt find a decent 26 for reasonable money ( one guy wanted 50k for a RB28 WTF?) so i ended up having to get Dan to build me one, it takes so much longer but i guess at least this time i know who built it!

@ martin:

sorry i missed that,

why JDM garage?

rebuilt sr and more goodies :ninja:

what happened man?

It'll probably be a CA with SR painted on it.

The 25 NEO they sold me was not a NEO. std head on NEO block (ie no NEO benefits AT ALL). Played all innocent when I confronted em and claimed they'd bought the head from some other shop thinking it was a NEO head. Gave up in the end, not worth fighting over.

actually a semi epic reply lol. for once.

Nice job

Lawd above! Hey one 'undred an' thirty emo son of rajab Fauntleroy get yaaahr SR on da frod an' toad so we gok wan get some drift acshun going., innit.

sweet! 0km is the way to go! Word of advice....we ran in annas on the dyno, took 2 hours it was so worht it because driving around doing run ins blows

RB28s are porn....but not for nearly twice the price that a os giken RB30 would cost me

yeh part of the deal is dyno time once its in to make sure all timing is correct etc etc :)

dont think about the $$ think about the :ninja:

I wasn't driving ;)

Heres how I see it: I will happily go for a spirited drive through the mountains. This can involve breaking the law, but its a stupid law that doesn't help anyone (ie stupidly low speed limits). I do it for the enjoyment of the drive, and always follow 1 rule: 7 tenths. Stick to your lane, stick to your limits, enjoy yourself. ANY form of street racing, whethere its initial D style through the mountains, or 2F2F city racing, or hektik high speed M1 runs, is DANGEROUS. Its a race, so theres no 7/10ths: its all out. Thats human nature - we want to win. So theres no margin for error, and when it goes wrong its going to go horribly wrong. This type of driving is ALWAYS dangerous, and should not be done anywhere near the street. The people who say its not their business how someone else drives, wait till that someone else kills someone you love being a d1ckhead. This is what racetracks are for. We have 2 great ones in SE QLD, it doesnt cost that much, and you can go all out and know that worst case the only people going to suffer are yourself, and other people who HAVE WILLING CHOSEN to be in the same situation. At QR you can go at 11 tenths and when you f*ck up, most likely the car will come out unscathed and you can have a good laugh at it. If brown stains on your pants are more your style, give lakeside a go.

Same applies to street drifting. Drifting is great fun, but the nature of it is that it is controlled unstability: Its just not safe to do it on the street where you could lose it at any time. Do it on the track.

Summed it up much better than I am able to. Thank you kind sir.

http://www.otomoto.com.au/osgiken/RB30_race_engine.htm Bottom ends are like $26k? Would end up similar to an OS Giken RB30 in price with the 30 probably costing more. Not saying it's worth 50k but I reckon a lot of people would go close building a balls to the wall stroker 26 with all the labour n ancillaries etc.

dont think about the $ think about the :ninja:

Its all about the lulz.

thats where its at!

after walking round Surfers I revise my previous statement. It's all about the lulz and the bitches.

Woah... just came back from lunch and there 3pages worth! WTF?!

Anyway I'm not defending anybody I'm plainly state facts. Didnt I mention that I agree baskin was poor form by them? I see the reason why EFI was there that night as trying to back Dan up with all the shit he's been getting from someone in particular. But then again it still doesn justify ruining a regular meet.

Time to get back to the reports and minutes!

It's all about the lulz and the bitches.

love it

pure goldd

its how I live my life. A quarter of a mile at a time for the lulz and bitches.

ask any racer, any real racer..

its not how you race your car, its how you do it for the lulz and bitches

</SUP>

For Adam, quote is from wikipedia(not uber reliable) but I'm fairly sure it's right. Although I thought nissan sold the R32 GTR in the UK for Group A racing but I could be wrong. Could be that Australia is the only other country to have factory delivered R32s. Every other skyline outside of Japan is an import though.

Believe it or not but those dirty poms got 100 r34 gtr's delivered....not like they'd know how to drive the things though. Aus got the r32's though.

unfortunately bro i think thats the best/only option ;)

I agree with this. If it's doing it more often in the heat then it may not be fuel pump related....

I thought EFI slaggin was over now that Redbum is gone due to his epic fail attempt of taking over the performance car industry ?

I lol'd...

I let very few people touch my car. Dan @ ERD is in with a chance (based on reccomendations from people I trust), when I eventually get sick of my b*stard noisy lifter :P
Dan is very good, especially with that type of mechanical fault, also builds a mean engine!
Erm... in the middle of the night... Erm... chance of accident.... Erm.... going around corners at 120km... Chance of accident. You work it out yourself.

Dan's car is an example. Other than the fact that it took a couple of weeks. But at least at the end there's no problem at all. + I've already realised a lot of things are out of the control of the mechanics/workshops (parts taking longer to arrive, bolts round, crossthreaded). No job is perfect. You would have thought fitting a cat and front pipe to my car is only a 15-30mins job but it took more than an hour cause the front pipe and dump pipe section was seized up. Oh not to mention SOMEBUM told me its only a couple of hours job to change my dumps on the hoist. Imagine if I did believe that, I would be paying 1 or 2days worth of labour as compared to a couple of hours.

Anyway enough of my ranting. If I'd the same problem as you do, and if Dan recommend I go to EFI, I'll go there. The recommendation these people gets are a testimony to the work they do.

Oh yea, after yesterday, I'll recommend Gavin Wood to anyone for tuning too!

Dan at ERD is literally the only person I'd let touch my car. He's like the Yoda of car's, if yoda and chewie had a lovechild. Rare thing about him too is his honesty. For example my spigot was rooted so I organised to get a new clutch in. I get a phone call from Dan an hr after dropping it off telling me that the clutch in there atm is basically new and presented me with the options to keep the one in there and replace what's needed or continue on with the replacement. I went ahead with the npc street anyways cos I'm wanting big power down the line, but say if I wasn't, I could have saved $400 odd dollars. Bastard makes one mean coffee too although I've been told to not let him know this hahaha.

Mecury reminds me of the club in the city.

You is so asian Brandon :down:

I've never understood the EFI opinion tbh. Everyone I've spoken to is happy with the work and speaking to whitey before the Baskins meet and at the SAU dyno etc he comes across as a nice guy who knows what he's talking about. Vouches from Dan, Noel, Anna n Andy etc says a lot about the work they do.

:ninja:

I understand this and agree but I am in no position to critisise how anybody else drives on the road whether it is illegal etc since I have a pretty horrendous driving record. Although I can justify each situation n fine and will argue the point I was putting nobody in danger but myself it's still dangerous and it's still illegal.

As I said still dangerous n illegal but I couldn't care less if other people want to race down the M1. Their choice.

The main issue I had with all the EFI crew when they came to baskins is they didn't come over n introduce themselves or talk to anyone else bar their own little group. It annoyed me and I spose it goes both ways but still...

+1 for the dirty mexican lol

Fairly sure that's a stab at John and I. Leisurely drive through the mountains at 3am in the morning but still I won't defend it I know it's wrong but I won't stop doing it. Well after Sunday I will...for awhile :)

Nah definetely not defending us lol ;) N don't give me the thumbs down you were there to!

Brandon and I went to the efi dyno day. Pretty sure colin rocked up too. The actual people in charge there were great and everything was done professionally. A week before hand I spoke with a guy named Rick on the phone to enquire about a nistune for my car. The dude knew his shit and was a top guy to talk to. I'll be going there to get my work done. In saying all of that though, I get the feeling that some of their 'helpers' on the dyno day fit the boost losers category which may explain the skids and stuff.

after walking round Surfers I revise my previous statement. It's all about the lulz and the bitches.

don't you mean lulz and jail bait bitches?

    • Welcome. This is not really true. We have a whole forum here just for the NA shitboxen. And they are not very different from the turbo shitboxen. Just weaker brakes and gearboxes, and no LSD, for the most part.
    • I'm pretty sure it has an 040 in it @Duncan Also reading up, that turbo should top out at 250 as you first thought. It will be interesting to see how early it chokes due to the changes in the head too
    • Yeah confirmed they are Nismo 555s, found the boxes in the spares with the factory injectors in. Yeah the AAC has been relocated to allow reuse of the factory brake booster line, and yes confirmed it has a 1 way valve in it. Unfortunately the one on the car is cracked, I'll need to replace it. Pretty sure I've got all the AAC plumbing correct in my previous post, but I am going to source some new fittings with 90o angles to help with the hose routing and also one really specific moulded shape for the AAC intake to cold start hose (will raid the back of our local repco when I get a chance and work out some combo that works) One of the big things I learned in the GTR is you need to be able to get your hands all around the bay when something goes wrong. I've done a bunch of re-routing now and it should be much more practical now. Also got the BOV mount re TIG-ed by the local engineering shop so that should be good to go now. Never got to the fuel pump because of some life stuff today, but will pull it to confirm it is suitable for 300rwkw when I get a chance
    • Hello everyone, I am from Malta and have recently bought myself a fully stock 1992 Nissan Skyline GTS. It has the RB20DE engine and thus is NA. Unfortunately, not a lot of information can be found online related to the GTS, unlike the information for GTS-T and GTR variants. Apart of the Skyline, I also got a 1984 Porsche 924 2.0l NA and a 2002 Renault Clio 1.5DCi for everyday use. Excited to be apart of the community and perhaps get better information on cars such as the GTS.
    • The fuel pump bracket just slides straight up.  Below is a pic I stole off a site. But basically put hand in for fuel pump, wiggle it all about a bit while pulling up.
