Didn't know where to post so thought I'd post up here..

My sisters fiancée purchased a 2011 VE SS and has put extractors on with full exhaust,cold air intake and chipped it with a retune,he has also done some suspension work but nothing crazy..I'm not a hater of v8s and actually like the sound of a niiice cammed one but lately i can't stand his constant shit smack talk bowt my 32 and in his words ' these shitty 2 or 3 ltr rice cookers' thinking they are all this n that when any v8 could destroy em etc etc plus not to mention the teenage hoon mindset he has behind the wheel.He hasn't told me his dyno figure but I'm guessing it would be around the 320 kw give or take. NOW this is my question would my fairly moded 260 kw td06 equipped R32 beat the commo?, I work f.i.f.o in the mines atm so can't take my car to kwinana drags any given Wednesday so am trying to find if they still do Wednesday night drags? And what you guys think the out come would be, 1 good win for Japan or a win to the loud mouth punk in his 6ltr..

Post away your replies I don't get offended :-)

260 in a 1.3 ton car or 300 in a near 2 ton car. but then you have to take in manual vs. auto, 1/8th or 1/4, drivers of each car yada yada and the result is usually too many factors to decide without actually taking them to the strip.

No the VE will pump your R32, TD06 or not.

The only solution to this is to fit a L98/77 6L to your R32.

Keep the replies coming :-)

Lol sorry but that's not the only solution bozodos a rb25 or 26 is a more natural progression not take a back step and fit a v8, my brother has the 5.7 ltr VY SS with extractors, full 2.5 inch zorst and some chip and I blow him away every time he gets serious and the 2 times we have been to the plex but seen as tho I know jack bowt the 6ltr I thought someone else would and can give some first hand help or experience with em..looks like the only way this is gonna be settled is on the track

The 6l is a different animal to the 5.7 - more comp, WAY better heads and different ECU etc, tend to see better gains out of them once modified; from 240-260rwkw usually (on a Mainline), so yeah around 320fwkw or thereabouts.

Bolt on Gen 4 6Ls often run mid to high 12s on the quarter FYI.

Hmmm makes me wanna get down to Perth ASAP and take this to the plex,my car can run 12s flat all day and I have the slips from the plex to back that up as well, i may run a few more psi and see how I go then..also forgot to mention I'm driving a gts4 so grip is no problem and il start working on my launches :-)

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
