Joe - thanks for the link.

Gradenko - budget, not sure yet? Care to throw some figures at me? Was thinking of keeping the same head/intake/exhaust/turbo setup if I can.

Boost - I'm aware of the time factor and for that reason (and cause I'm lazy) might end up getting a workshop to do it. Rattling - nowhere near that yet, just drinking the odd bit of oil at the moment. Not a huge thing as I'm hardly driving it.

Just wanting to actually see what one goes like.

$5k minimum for a basic rebuild. $7kish using forged pistons, arp bolted bottem end and standard rods shot peened. + extra for head porting, ecu, manifold, plenum, turbo, fueling, etc. But you already know that :P

Just wanting to actually see what one goes like.

Let you know in a month or so.

$5k min? Hmm. A bit more than what I was thinking - not too much more, but a bit. Is that using a new block? Do you mind PMing me the price breakdown if you have it?

:P Cam

That doesn't include the price of the new block but it does include the price of a 2nd hand block (which i needed for the crank and rods).

I'll pm you details when I get home. Good luck with whatever you choose.

teejay - would like to see the results. Are they on this forum?

Steve - long time no chat. Hope all is well. Who/where is the combo available from?

R31 - looks like a mint car, but wouldn't be able to get enough for mine to buy it.

Whole thing is at inquiry stage at this point - hence me wanting to have a chat to some people with experience in it.

when u come to your budget, double it and add abit more, thats how modified cars work, hahah. i know some one who just got a motor built with pistons and gtr rods, and studs, pm me if u want to know more.

Another thing, is becareful who does the work on your car. i strongly advise to use one of the 2 workshops. A) Hyperdrive B) Xspeed. they are the most suited to the job if you ask me,

Has anyone in Perth built a RB25/30 or had one built for them? Is there anyone running one in an R33 at the moment who could take me out for a ride? I have suspected broken ring lands and am wanting to look at options outside of the norm.

Cam, give hyperdrive a call, i remember talking to ken and he was telling me how they were going to built this as i type of demo car when hyperdrive 1st started dont know if it happened or not

different strokes for different folks

i personally didnt think the non revving nature of a rb30 would be any fun

but i was wrong, and its become a more and more popular idea... got to be some reasoning in that.

your on boost so much earlier then any other rb combo

ive been in a gtr with twin 2530's and its not even close boost response wise

    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.

    • sensible choice....and all 32s should be in yellow
    • Run it in open loop for now, and drop the frequency down. This lowers the resolution and requires more duty cycle to do anything, however good to troubleshoot.
    • According to Josh, one of our local Americans, it seems the USA still can't get turbo systems quite right at a lot of places, so possible that they're not running great at all, but they've just not complained as NFI about getting it right...
