Thanks buddy

no probs at all :P

S**t Marko... don't tell me you are one of those blokes that says, "should have never sold it".

i am 1 of those blokes, i was the 3rd owner. my mate had it for 6yrs.

had 80,000 genuine kms (aussie log books & service history)!

but then i twinkled with the engine lol, forged bottom end, hks gtrs turbos, cams, clutch etc etc etc & it made 365awkw.

its like having a genuine ford falcon gt then pulling out the engine & making it into a monster - nothing beats factory condition for enthusiasts & resale

what i can say though is that the silver gtr paid for my house deposit, sold it for 40k about 4-5yrs ago (im still in touch with the new owner, just in case :P)

i finally picked my replacement gtr :)

this is my black gtr with the rb26/30:

here is my new toy:

i kinda miss the rb26, it has a much more pitch sound BUT doesn't have the same brute power of the rb26/30

this red gtr has a forged engine with -5s & drives very well, 333awkw on crd's dyno @ a lazy 19psi :)

marko, what do you think those -5,s would be like on your 26/30 .......

hmmm - would be very aggressive & punchy in bottom end area but im not sure about what top end they would support?

i know of a few guys on gtr uk who have cracked over 400kw with -5s

me personally, i'd rather -10s on a 26/30 as i do like top end rush

i'd say for the circuit though the -5s would be a deadly package (im sure stevo 'n1gtr' was talking about -5s for a long time but not sure whether he followed through)

uuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm tempted. i know what you mean top end etc. here,s mine on track, would you say this is similar in pick up to yours now?.

i find this set up a little laggy on tight tracks

the silver r34gtt in front runs a to4z around 670@the flyand an rb30 with a 25 head

check out the videos on youtube of the high octane R34. it has -5 turbos and a 26/30. it also has different diff gears and other bits and pieces to help though so its not entirely an apples to apples comparison.

hi mate, yes seen mark berry,s car superb, but not a real comparison, i know simonster on here was going twins but thats not happened yet,i am dying to hear from anyone running either 2860-5,s or disco potatoes on a 26/30 set up. i know i will be dropping power for responce but on track i believe the car will be faster if that makes sence..lol

uuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm tempted. i know what you mean top end etc. here,s mine on track, would you say this is similar in pick up to yours now?.

your car sounds awesome - reminds me of my 26/30 :)

in terms of pickup, hard to gauge really...are u asking if your setup is similar to my rb26/30 with -10s OR rb26 with -5s?

i actually think that maybe my rb26/30 with -10s has less lag than my rb26 with -5s?

So what are the future plans for this one marko ?...i like the LMGT2's on there,you dont see them too much anymore.

not sure yet but i'd say i'll drop the 26/30 in the red gtr - ive spent way too much time & effort on this with the build, hardware, busting crd's balls & rob @ rips lol

btw - the wheels are lm gt1's :)

    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
    • Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney
    • I'm not sure what sort of shops are nearby, but I'd expect any reasonable exhaust shop could put a cat in it that will not restrict the power that engine makes. Otherwise, if you want to remove it, short lengths that replace the cat are readily available online, search for "de-cat pipes" or "test pipes"  
    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
