god damn i want this!!

mad price!

Rb28, -5 turbos (probs change that), seems like a heaps genuine seller, saying it has a couple dings but there getting fixed before sold.

also, found out today im not being kept on for my apprenticeship but i may get a job for the same company but maintaining the locos that ive built for the past year, better hourly rate, and rolling roster between day and arvo shift with 4 10 hour days with the option to work any friday. a bit keen...

yeah ill find out hopefully this week or early next if i get the job as the email and everything has been sent.

dont think im gunna worry about the mines, the casual blokes at my work are on 40 bucks an hour and thats standard for newy, when you think about the distance and then having to rent somewhere in singleton ill either be living rough or saving less money then working in newy and coming home to emma every night.

plus i doubt id get in a mine cause i dont have family in there :S

Saw that. good price....but way down on power for -5's...but it wasn't exactly seeing much boost. Also, don't know where you got the rb28 info from.

.8 sump with baffles??

that not 2.8??

yeah i thought that about boost, would expect 280 atleast

nope just an extended sump. Mine's still a 26 and holds 9L (11L if there's oil in the cooler)

rb26's can suffer from oil starvation. With a combination big G corners, high rpm's and a poor head oil drainage design, the result is that the stock pump can essential empty the sump and thus suck air = no oil for bearings = spun bearing. After market pumps can flow more then 25% higher then stock, so the problem is amplified. The larger sump capacity pretty much eliminates the lack of oil problem and the baffels keep the oil around the pick-up during high-g corners. n1 engines came stock with a higher oil capacity, so nissan was probarly aware of the problem from there racing experince.

ahh i see, fair enough then :P

whats the advantage of a bigger sump??

hey joel hows WA? good to see your still lurking newy :D:D:D

i still check in from time to time :yes: . I'm bored at work and the WA section is dead.

WA's going well. Still haven't found a house yet though...and I'm really missing my tools (their in storage). Hopefully i'll have one by the end of the year and can start to settle in then.

ah right, where are you now then??

id imagine everything to be expensive as!

Work's got me a place in the middle of the city for a few months - it was part of a relocation package. Trouble is, i'm still working up in Port hedland, so i'm never actually in perth to be able to look for houses.

Yeah it's probably about 20%-30% more then newcastle for just about everything. But good city, very social.

I went 4wd on the weekend with a few mates, the old ferroza held up well conwsidering it's completely stock:

    • This is a simple swap when you reuse the RB20 loom and auxiliaries. I run a standalone, but if I remember right, using the RB25 ecu you only have 2 injectors to inverse.  There are many DIY's on this subject online, including this forum.   
    • Surprisingly the D6000 is only $1999, I'm waiting for the BF/CM sales, and hoping to get one cheaper. D4000 is well priced, still outperforms the 13" SVS PB-3000 and is like 1/2 the price at $1699 RRP. I do watch a fair amount of movies, and listen to EDM, jazz, symphonies, etc. so the lower notes from a subwoofer are always appreciated. The front 8" stage, just doesn't provide you with lively feeling, even though they are pretty bassy for a pair of large bookshelves. Then again, these days it's just playing Wiggles, Blippi and Ms Rachel, another reason the 3m wide cabinet exists, to hide all the audio gear behind it. They used to sit on a nice pair of stands, but as you know, they make good baby traps too.
    • Granted, which is a solid reason why I don't have one. My floorstanders are only -2 dB at 22 Hz.  So they're still working down to <20 Hz. Which is no doubt part of the reason why my receiver shits the bed! That Tonewinner would be about double the cost though, so it's not apples and apples. There aren't many AU$1300 subs (that you can buy prebuilt, I'm ignoring what can be achieved by DIYing) that compete.
    • -6dB at 22Hz isn't that great, watch the data from the D6000 from REW
    • I'll just leave this here. https://www.adelaidespeakers.com/subwoofers.html TL loading, big power. They sound awesome. This is what I would buy if I was going to try to take the bass away from my floorstanders. Just go with the 12".
