Mines just a dead RB30E ATM... Gotta start somewhere tho :)

I think Trina is gunna flip at "another" car bit as it is... So, your out of luck sorry Pred :D

Now I have to read that long arse RB30DET thread... And start to choose pistons, rods, etc...

*sigh*

rb30det is the way to go if you want a lot of power..

yeah, read through most of that several times :) i really have to work out how much its gonig to cost me, and what else i might need to spend money on.

So will be at least 6 months before i really think about mine. I asked around a bit and would probably cost at least $5k or so, depending on whether you go forged rods, etc.. And thats just the bottom.. never mind turbo, installation (assume you're doing that yourself :D ).. etc.

hehe - really only joking about the storage.. this is why the places i have been looking at renting *must* have a garage.. for all my car crap (and cars)..lol

Mmmm... Just started reading it... Looks like standard rods and crank are good for 350rwkw...

This is getting cheaper by the hour!

yeah.. just get em prepped :D In fact the whole bottom end is probably good for around 250rwkw or maybe more as they have cast pistons.. as my engine was just removed for a conversion and is still pretty fresh - i was even thinking of just dumping the head on, getting it all fitted up and just running it for a while like that.. if something breaks just has to come out and get built properly :)

Nah my 30 has got low comp as it is... So, I'm gunna take my time, and make it STRONG...

RB30's suck. Haven't seen a good one yet. Even John Munro's OS 3ltr was a waste of money, just ask him

look at the australian street car drag list though.. and some of them are even SOHC.. mattlow has/had ? a 11sec gts-t in melb using a 3L bottom end..

There are a lot of shitty engine builders out there though.

    • I haven't....but a poorly made one would terrify me. Surely a good second hand one is the go, as they don't work hard and no-one wants to keep one after they are finished with it A big consideration would be the weight of the shell you are putting on it....is it a fully dressed chassis or just the body
    • Not stock. All remade. Mostly looks stock because the pipes run to and from the standard holes in the inner guard to get to the return flow FMIC. I'm not sure which question you're trying to ask, because it seems like "stock position" vs "stock position".
    • Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.
    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
