They're that bad are they? I've heard good and bad about them, was thinking I'd try them out myself but seeing they're close, ah wells.

yes they are. Should of gone around the corner to Edwardstown custom body reapais or even more south to hounslow crash :ninja:

well your just silly then.

Why pay $30,000 for a parts kit that you can do in Australia for $50.

RIPS are pulling over 10,000 rpm on burn out and 1400HP on a standard RB30 block with standard crank and crank girdle.

ugh. gtr purists. im siding with dale. f**k spending $30k on some liners and a bolt on deck when i can jump on the club and find a 30e bottom end for less than $50.

and ive heard of quite a few of the os kits failing at life. id be pretty torn up about $30k going to waste, but i wouldnt give 2 shits about a 50 buck bottom end.

*just had a look at the kaki kit, seems waaaaay too cheap.

makes the perfectly nice car look a little cheapish and nasty / track hack job imo.

and i could 'almost dig it'. the splits a little off. if it was something like this,

itd be rad, and i actually would dig it.

Think I should of called before I went for a drive, went all the way to MC Doyles Crash Repairs and they were closed... as in like they didnt pay their bills and got shut down. Guess I'll have to take my business elsewhere...

that really isnt a bad thing.

that Kaki* kit is only sleeves and a block deck so no $1500 is not that cheap

Dan its about 450-600 to get an AWD adapter plate for the RB30 but a deck is a stronger better RTA friendly option you keep your original engine number

No pos RB30 bottom ends should be in a GT-R imo

:)

Dont get me wrong, I'm all for twin cam RB30's in VLT's, GTSTs, etc but not a GT-R... C'mon lol

Putting an rb26/30 in a gtr isnt a bad idea, if you use the car for performance or any kind of motorsport

keep the 26 stock tho if you want a streeter that'll hold its value - if I had two gtr's, I'd def put a 26/30 in the 2nd one

This is actually a blessing for you. PM me if you want further info but I wouldn't send my worst enemy there...

And I'm a big GTR fan but nothing wrong with a 26/30. Shit, I'd build one would it be not for the legality issues and all. Don't fancy ripping out a motor to visit Regency

with all this talk of rb30's, im feeling good, just a cam, turbo..and a manual conversion away!

Also, whoever owns a 100 series Landcruiser...you sir or madam, know how to select a good car!

Definatly the best 4x4 ive driven, and the easiest to work on. :)

would it really be noticeable to the untrained eye though? (having a 26/30)

Easily. The RB30 block causes the head to be situated very high compared to the stock 26, pm cubes and ask him about how much clearance he actually has (he reckons its not a lot)... cant run a strut brace with a 26/30 unfortunately

    • I might have to shoot them an email. Pity the exchange rate is so bad at the moment. BTW, thanks for posting that table makes interesting reading. 
    • Add these Sensors -Wideband, Oil Pressure, Fuel pressure, Intake air temp Good inspection of ignition system of coils, plugs and loom (12v feed and good ground)- a r35 kit is best bang for buck upgrade. A decent tuner should be able to see any issues with the trigger system- a link has good filtering but a good simple upgrade is the nz wiring bolt in kit. Check and replace all the fuel filters- you would be surprised at intank filter after a few years. Also good to check for any leaks on vac hoses and pipe work as has been said. No need to go overboard and spend big $$$ to enjoy the car. A quality tuner is getting harder to find as anyone with a laptop thinks they are a tuner. A link has great features to check sensor voltages and frequency inputs and easy to see live by pressing f12. The link can do a TPS & RPM fuel/ignition mapping on ITB cars then add a 4D table with MAP and ability to add a 5D to it (can help with economy at cruise with wheel speed vs TPS) Where are you located as that will help narrow down a good tuner ?
    • Reviving an old thread, I reckon my stagea is starting to slip. Car usually gets parked on a hill, narrow driveway so cant go up the driveway smoothly, anyhows, lately first gear feels "sluggish"? Not responsive. Feels like I gotta run the engine more than usual to get off the line...  Any recommendations for transmission servicing in Sydney? Or possibly just an excuse to go manual ?
    • Well, moulded carpets should fit well if the buck they use is the right shape. The finish is then just a case of stiching the trim around the edges. Shuoldn't be too hard to get it right. Back in the day, replacement carpets were all "fitted", in that they were stitched together, with cuts and slices taken out to make them form the shapes. Many more opportunities to get it wrong, hence all the concern over good vendors and bad vendors.
