anyone takin a rb20det out themselves, any hints or things to look out for.
i'm planning to do mine this weekend maybe but i thought i'd get some info 1st.
thanx jay
i think i hav wat u need, it's from a r32 gtst. do u need the metal bracket thats run around the door and the rubber seal that fits into it???
where r u???
the cores running along the cooler r damaged, i can c 2 that r cracked open and the 3rd not sure, overall the damage is less the 2 inches long in the centre. the fins im not too woried about.
i dont know if this is a possibility but could the waste gate be not working right which results in overboosting??? could this be the reason for the sudden power increase to cause wheel spin in 2nd.
if it is overboosting then won't it also cause the needle to go off scale???
sum1 correct me if i'm wrong....
i always thought puttin a turbo in n/a engine is a bit iffy cauz the compression ratios r different and to do it u'd have try and change the gaskets and stuff to get the right ratio. as far as performance goes unless u match the ratios then u can run the same boost as standard otherwise u have to run lower boost to avoid damage which means less power?? if i'm wrong in this ....then please correct me....
i reckon just car insurance is pretty good for modded cars but i think they check nominated drivers records.

jus a free plug for a mate:
93 r32 gts4, 5 speed, white, coilovers, hks pod, apexi turbo timer, exhaust, 10 months rego, $17,000. Sydney
thats all i know about the car, call my mate Avi 0410-314-107 if need more info.
thanx
me mates got a 98 supra tt with vvti 6 speed, Goez hardd!! especially extra fun with traction control off!!!! raced him with my r32, we were side by side up till fourth, then he slowly got his nose ahead. Mines modified (grade 1 import). his was stock.
me other friend has a NA supra 94 5 speed....not bad, goez ok for a NA.
i think for some reason supra's have one of the nicest sounding exhaust when done right. but the interior to me isn't that good especially for the passenger, i've always said 'the interior is totalling snobbing the passenger!!'
my 2.25 cents worth

i desperately need a r32 gtst shell, something like a blown engine/gearbox, or even if they are missing. condition of the shell is not a big issue, although good condition car is preferable but it really doesn't matter. i just need a rolling shell.
if anyone out there has one or knows a mate who's got one pleeeease let me know!!!
thanx

from these gauges which 3 would u choose and why
boost, oil temp, oil pressure, water temp
i want to put set of 3 gauges on the center dash (like GTR's) but cant decide. i was thinkin of eliminating oil pressure but hav been told the standard ones r shit. any opinions ???
thanx jay
need some autometer gauages preferably white faced. boost, oil temp, water temp, oil pressure. even if someone knows a place that has good prices let me know....
thanx

i was under the impression all coilovers were ajusted with c spanners, this is the 1st time i'm hearing of clips.......whoa man!!! ur spinin me out !!! :-)
hey ppl
raced my mates 98 supra tt wit vvt-i, his is full stock, mine is grade 1 import. We were side by side all da way until top of 4th wen he pulled away 1/4 car length (i had a better take off ). what do u think... i reckon da fact his block is bigger ( 3.0L ) is why he got me....
now i gotta do some mods so he can c my rear end fly by him but the problem is that his is dead stock!! once he spends some money on the beast as he calls it, i'm gone....:-)
