Yes. custom with a mid and rear oval muffler (should add free flowing 350+kwa)

Also have a 5Zigen axle back oval muffler

Edit: both can be classed as almost new.

Edited by Sinista32

If the weather is good tomorrow ill be throwing in my new thermostat, compression test, replace my atmo bov with a plumb back, replace my intercooler and piping with a blitz turn flow kit and put on the cold air box. When my car finally gets back on the road it will feel like a new car. Also have a set of jic magic coilovers on the way. Will be wo much better than Gabs in the front and bc's in the rear.

Yes, Cooma Run = FUN! Thanks Mik!

Got my Magnaflow Muffler on, Love the look and the quietness.

Surpirisingly it took away all exhaust drone even though it's as straight thru as the Canon.

All flanged up so I can chuck the canon on anytime. ;)

Needs Less HICAS :yes:

Needs Less HICAS :yes:

Doesn't give me problems and if it does, I have a spare. :D

If the weather is good tomorrow...

Wow that's a list! Compression test will be interesting.

had a coffee with mine - that is all :/

handed over spare exhaust system (for $$)

sorted and boxed spare parts, threw some more stuff out

oh I did have a go at installing some bonnet struts on the 32, very easy, but still needs minor modification to fit - thanks to grinder MiK who's on the job.

boomerang trolley jack came back

Don't throw any 32 parts out :ph34r: Never know what someone might need...

I pulled the Space saver out of the GTR and started to design a custom toolbox that will fit in it's place.

Also cleaned the interior properly for the first time in months. Steam cleaned the car mats and the seats. Car smells like new again!

Ran out of my favourite detailing product. Must get more. Hopefully the weekend has some nice weather so i can jack the car up and clean underbelly.

Also noticed my brake discs are starting to Lip. Good chance as any to upgrade....

Am also getting full braided hoses made up for the entire engine bay (Radiator, vacuum lines, catch can, Fuel pressure reg, etc....)

This weekend provided weather is good: Painting a HEAP of a parts. Pulled off windscreen wipers, washer bottle, door trim, and still more to come off.

All in all getting there. :yes:

Threw the f**k-r in the bin after chasing an intermittent missfire problem.

New OEM coils installed... no dice and expensive. Now have 6 perfectly good Yellow jackets sitting around.

New sparkies installed... no dice.

Took it to ESP for them to have a look. no dice so far.

You have to be kidding me....

Next step... Loom?

I'd just wait for ESP to find it. If they can't figure out what the issue is i would be questioning taking it there in the first place. Possibly AFM, or you might just need a re tune. Who knows. The joys of owning performance cars :yes:

Frustrating. ^^ No AFM, is Mafless with ViPEC. Recently re tuned, so I doubt it would fall out of tune.

Yes, this will be the last car I will modify for a while. I keep ruining them.

R32 GTR - Ruined. more time in shop than on road

VN Supercharged. Runied - sounded like the world was coming to an end. Had to drive around with blower off.

VE SS. Ruined. Biggest cam in the world x Shuddering POS clutch, coilovers and more drones than the empire.

Why do I keep doing this?

End Rant.

Could just be shitty fuel. How new are injectors?

    • And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.
    • No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.
    • Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
    • 2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.
    • I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
