Now more than ever, we need to buy Australian made/owned... So it would be awesome to see a write up on these local products if anyone has them in an RBDET, see if we can stimulate the local economy with the handouts!(and save some money)

marko, better off not to go too big on camshafts if you are running -10's, otherwise you will make it abit of a lag monster... keep them suttle and not 2 big, look at the group a aussie gtr's, they had medium sized cams and produced 600+ brake with a rev limit of 7000rpm. the porting is the most important in making power...

by the way, your setup will piss in 400rwkw.... u stress 2 much

not correct...we put bigger cams in one engine along with a few other tricks and it came on 1000rpm earlier. A few other notable engine builders who have done lots of R&D have noticed the same.

my old HKS GT-RS fed engine did the same...went from small cams and mild porting to big suckers and big port job and the thing was mega responsive and made stacks of power...it had a flat line of torque for 5000rpm...looked like a V8's curve on the dyno and left Jim at CRD wondering if the dyno was playing up...lol

Warlord.. if you want 272's don't mess around with the hydraulic convert it to solid (there's a bloke that converts the std lifters to solid) and then upsize that turbo as 272's will be a waste.

hydraulic 260-265's will see that 3037 max out easily on pump fuel with around 1 bar.

Dirt is sharing his experience with the 26. Not the 25 hydraulic crap where big duration != better.

marko how about

//www.kelford.co.nz/

yes...yes

im even thinking of getting 272 in and outs

Camtech uses Kelford billets for the RB's anyway but grind them here. I've used 3 sets of Camtech cams in the last month and they are top quality. Your stimulus money will easily cover a pair and you don't need to worry about getting slugged with import duty/gst on top of what you pay for them before they leave NZ.

Performance Springs valve springs are excellent, no need to look any further.

what r u going on about.

as for duty tax gst and all of that i would not worry to much about it as marko would know the amount of stuff i have got from o/s and not had to pay a thing,its more bad luck if you do as ive been told by a number of people on sau and off.

LOL Thanks for your sheer rudeness buddy. :banana:

If you take ones advice and don't do further research thats your sheer stupidity.

With regards to what I am on about.. Its not to hard to work out. But then again......

im even thinking of getting 272 in and outs

and then... your sig..

HKS turbo kit 3037 pro s

If you don't plan on running the 272's with a hydraulic head (why don't the japs like such cams?) or with the 3037 just state your plans are bigger and better. No need to sprout off some wanker comment.

Obviously the duty tax comment was not directed at myself.

LMFAO.

Improve airflow and the 3037 WILL max out around 1bar. Boost is a restriction to airflow. knobber.

I have fiddled with these turbo's on 25's and 30's. Also check Al's RB30det... Go check the dyno thread buddy.

How is my dirt comment Petty? You have way misinterpreted... I simply stated that incase one (i.e you) with the RB25 thought it would be fine to run big duration cams in their hydraulic head. It doesn't work. Been there done that.

Mate I've been here on sau since it started so dont look at post counts buddy, prior to that it was SDU.

Your sick of it.... I gave some advice that is correct and you provided me with a highly intelligent wanker comment.

so you have two or more user id"s so you can write shit when you feel like it cos it states you have been a member from 3/12/08 you lier.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      You have (externally anyway) a lot of patience!  At the very least your patience has rewarded you financially even if you decided you were over it!! I only just read your first experience of seeing the car, that would have been amazing!  Well documented too! It must be exciting knowing there's only 10 months left until you can get it on a boat and on it's way!!!???

      Yeah, that's when. I guess you could say I'm as patient as I am foolish(or just a masochist?🤔). I've strongly considered throwing in the towel and calling it all quits many times, and have almost done so. It's a first-world problem for sure, but I've had a pretty rough go of it, as well as other factors; hoping something good comes of all this; it has to. It definitely is half the price of the ATS and performs great, but I'd like to try something different for once. I've sampled the ATS in a friend's 32 and it's solid👍

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
