Well if its only half tuned....than thats the problem! get the tune finished off asap

Why would you go to all the trouble and expense of buying an Autech RB26 only to rip the head off and stick it on a forklift motor? doesnt make sense...the heads are the same as normal RB26 jobbies.

I want a hoist!

With headwork, cams and a really good tune they would go pretty darn close.

Sam, Trent - Do you guys have any more info on these good copy ones, Had my eye on one of the Kando Td-06's but thought better of it.

Looking very nice, im green with envy!

Thanks Guys your advise is priceless and PM sent Brad

No difference really, both have their advantages / disadvantages

Lots of tough cars with AFMs too

8mm socket and 10mins of time

Is there any adjustability in the Nismo arms? It doesnt look like there is any at all.

What sorta condition is the VN in and what is it? Was just thinking that the Toyota is about the same weight/power/brakes as a VN, how does it go towing a R33?

ROF!

Not 100% yet but somthing like a VT or an AU2 I think

Hahah yeah I bet having a sparky mate helped heaps!

The best bet would be to try and sell to somone in VIC or NSW where they have the P-plate restrictions, they are selling for more than the Turbo ones in those states, but most people will only pay big $$ for a 5-speed.

A bolt in is easy enough for me (circa $1k), but a weld in is generally twice the price or more going off the quotes ive had. Plus Im saving for a decent daily that can tow, so things will slow down on this build front for a while.

I had a good look at that too, not really possible for me though because i like my clutch fan too much. What did you do for the wiring? Multi core stuff or single runs?

I wanna know how you check for melted pistons with a stethescope...do the pistons have a heart beat...or breathing difficulties?

Nah I didnt think of that, Im trying to clear up my loan as fast as possible, once thats done it will free up a heap of funds, So i may delay the cage for a while and run the car in supersprints / track days While I learn to drive the thing properly before I start doing door to door stuff, Last think I would want is to wreak sombody elses car off, because of a silly mistake or somthing. In other news I have the car at my house now, and I even gave it a wash, Just gotta wait for my de-cat pipe to turn up so I can fit the exhaust up, and not piss the neighbours off with a straight exhaust lol. Question re: Bonnet pins, If I have no bonnet latch do i need to run 2 sets of pins or does 1 pair count as 2 bonnet restraints?

That setup will be a pos to drive around the street on a 2.6, will make big power at WOT and big revs, not something you would want to toddle down the corner shop with.

Dont worry your self too much about my idea's I doubt Id ever do anything with them, Im just very interested in what can be done with RBs due to the fact that not many people do things differently with them.

I was tossing up ideas today at work (been a quiet day) about using a 25 or 26 crank in a 30 block with 6.25" rods, would make an excelent base for a megga RPM RB imo. Sorry dont mean to go off topic too much. P.s I Like that crank

I may pull the oil squirters out over the weekend and see how the crank goes though, you have me curious now lol.

Nah they didnt quite clear, would just need a touch of machining done to get the counter weights to clear. Its not really somthing I would consider being that I have a 30 block already and a RWD skyline, just had both blocks and cranks side by side in the garage. I see what you mean with the Pauter Rods, they look very nice.
