What should I do with my car down the track?


Recommended Posts

GT Four! either stagea swap or RB30. if you RB30'd it would you use the NA gbox from it or would a stagea one fit?

sell your car NA n then we can stick the turbo on my car! haha jk, rory wants a turbo for his AW11 though...

Depends what you want to do ,Drag it, Drift it, Circut Race.:confused:

The 2 wheel Gt+t is good for the RB26 swap less weight without the 4wd system and damn cheaper than the GTR.

If you've seen in Japan there's a few GTT's running GTR engines even better if you can land the VVT version of the RB26.:jump:

CYA

Hey Dan Go with the RB30 build & be a little different & go with the RB26 top end with a large single turbo on it

I was looking into it & had got an idea of price of around 6K with out turbo & computer just for the motor build & head/manifolds with no turbos.

I have a lot of info on it if ur keen let me know, mind you that build was with head port work & a 30 thou over on the block with pistons & rods with a fully balanced bottem end I got told it should be good for around 350 at the wheels with the right set up injectors & cooler, only prob with the big single & head port work is it will be very lagie but once it on hold on ;) I don't have the money to do what I wanted to do now but looking into KAPA with super charger kits ;)

there was a rb25 complete for $2000 on here in QLD.. still available last i checked.. loom, ecu, afm, everything..

would be a non-neo r33 engine.. but at that price worth considering

otherwise you get Rb30 blocks for a couple of hundie, and rb25 heads for around $1000.. throw in some cams .. the rebuild costs you a few thousand but that is with the serious bits. Near $10k you can have 350-400rwkw engine if you like.. add a nice turbo and start blowing up drivetrains.

rb26 head is a little too expensive.. flows better and tougher but $1000-$2000 more.

Hey Dan

Originaly myself and a mate built it but had a few problems so I took it to Power Break and Enginering (near Harrys Diner)

They pulled out my original build - rebuilt/ balanced the whole botom end - rebuilt mild port of the head - put it all back together - put it in the car and got it working for $2500

the engine is completly balanced - bored 10 though and runs awsome!

Just waiting to put on my fmic and power fc now and Ill be almost all done with the 33

rb30 with a rb26 head and single turbo is hardly "a little different"......

Go the 4.5 or 4.1 nissan V8 and put twin turbs on.... even with a stock engine this combo would haul some serious A55! the 4.1 will obviously be a little more rev happy, but the 4.5 will have more off-boost torque....

V8 skylines r.o.c.k! (but im biased)

Thanks riceline, may have a yarn to the guys down there then....something *cheaper* like the RB30DET may keep me happy for a bit before I move onto another car :)

Also what turbo are you using on that...is it still the stock one?

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
