that's probably gotta take the record for most EPIC build thread ever????

just spent about an hour reading random parts of this thread. i could never match his dedication to his car. absolutely incredible attention to detail! it does kinda show that even if you put massive bucks and countless hours into hotting up your L-series motor you still get problems and not a lot of satisfaction (his words not mine!). and yes i know that will offend some viewers lol. if my c210 coupe was gunna get a power increase at the wheels, it would be coming from an RB conversion and nothing else. just my opinion :-)

If you crunch the right numbers and do the research first, most to all of the problems he had will not be there in the first place.

eg. Just on the cam & lash pad problem he had:

I'm using N42 length valves (ex USA) in my P90 head, but as I'm using a factory reground cam and the core diameter is smaller, the valve length is never going to be an issue. The after market new billets break to easily & therefore a factory re worked cam is by far, much better.

The bottom line in any rebuild is DO THE RESEARCH FIRST then you can do the job right the first time.

I'm looking at over 600Nm @ about 4500rpm on less than 10psi boost from my L Series. I would like to see the $$$$$ figure getting that from your RB, because I did the research for that some time back as well.

Far too many rebuilds have breakage lists and I don't plan on having one of them at all.

i will get some pics up soon ,mine is a lot crappier than that one but i was in japan last week and bought heaps of good shit ,new fenders ,new exhaust ,coil overs ,big brakes ,deeeep dish work meisters ,bracing ,diff mounts ,ajustable caster rods ,parts for theses cars are easy to get but bug bucks ,its already got a cusco 2 way and a modified L28 with tripple mikuni carbs ect

fwoar! i need a kleenex

Ahh, so you bought Jash's car? Awesome project The KGC10 build thread on PF is my car, whaddya need to know, Denzo?

Oh and btw the issues I had with the L-series were 99% casued by the person who built it in Japan. We ended up starting from scratch, and the cylinder head was redone by Knight Engines in Adelaide, and Nathan did the bottom end and assembly. Ran sweet as a nut after that. Puts out 190rwhp and sounds great, so yeah I'm happy with it.

I dunno if it's gonna be the same in WA, but in NSW the engo accepted that Klippan non-inertia reel seatbelts were okay, front and rear.

At the back, you'll find that the c-pillar sheetmetal and floorpan will already have seat belt mountings behind the trim

At the front, it's just the regular Klippan kit, but with the longest available stalk buckle (i think 450mm, cos the mount is so far back on the tunnel).

Umm...apart from seatbelts, I think I didn't have to change or add anything else for rego/engo. Tail lights and indicators (which blink red) were ok for the age of the car.

I think the only hassles I had on rego were things like noise and ride height

If I wasn't so committed to the R30's I would be doing something like this. I think these are great things.

Keep us all posted on the progress.
