the only worry is that the manifold wont tesion uniformly and it could warped the head which could be the cause of your oil leaks. One broken stud usually isnt anything to worry about too much, and it isnt much to get fixed.

yeah the rb30 bottom end is as strong as any rb

im with this guy.

hahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahaha ahahahahah ahh that pic is so fitting

Any idea when it will be back up?

Damn, you've sure got an impressive list of kills But I daresay a lot comes down to the abilitiy of the driver. Once the car is up to par anyway. I can't get over the generosity of people on this site. I'll definately have to take you up on those offers. Cheers guys.

Wow, roy, thankyou very much for such a comprehensive answer. And for actually stating figures rather than just spewing propaganda. I wish i could take you up on that offer, but im in nsw, thanks anyway, I def need a ride in a 200+kw rb20 to give me a better idea. Yes this is certainly a big attraction for me. Good point, as long as the power arrives in time for the exit. Well theres an eye opener, just the sort of figures i was looking for, very impressed to say the least, imagine the look on the gtr drivers face when he gets passed by an rb20 powered gts-t that probably half the money spent on it and a quarter of the upkeep :laughing-smiley-014: Thankyou, those figures pretty much alleviated all of my doubts. Consider this thread whizzed! LOL, excellent! Again thankyou for taking the time to answer my questions, I really appreciate and it's people like you make the skyline community so inviting. Well, my mind is at ease, still more research to do but the gts-t is looking promising at the moment. Goodnight.

Well 450rwkw would be ideal, but its the expense thats holding me back at the moment, otherwise i'd go the rb31dett route without question hahaha. But as long as i can turn the gts-t into a fun track car I'll be quite satisfied... ...For now.

Cheers mate your a legend. And that sig is GOLD!

Get out of my thread biatch! LOL, nah just kidding. Yeah I saw those graphs in the stickies and some seem to go almost straight up! I'll keep on researching I guess.. I've noticed that rb20's are cheap as so i guess if i change my mind i wont be losing out too badly. But i would like to make sure they can offer what im looking for first. My main concern is slow corner exits. Does anyone here race a rb20, how do you find its response out of corners, what setup and power are you running? Cheers guys

Piping clearence isnt an issue as I can fabricate most things. Well if I'm going to be swapping the rb20 for a 25, i might as well put the 25 head on a 30 block and put that in. Anyone know the availability and price of r32 coupe rolling shells?

Yeah thats what kinda I was expecting, well response is what i really want so the RB20's out. Next Question: -Does the rb20 share the same mounts as the rb30? ie can i drop an rb30 into an r32?

Okay people, first of all, I'm new here so hi hows it going etc.. Now down to buisiness. I've heard a lot of bad things about the RB20DET such as "high performance examples suffer from extreme lag" or "totally gutless down low" etc. Now I've owned a R31 for a year, (well used to, its a long story), with the RB30E, with a cam, chip, exhaust. extractors, pod etc, probably pushing around 100rwkw. Now that car is gone and im looking at upgrading while I have the chance. Im very interested in buying a R32 gts-t coupe. But the problem is, the car will see occasional track duties and will be considerably track orientated, (as much as possible while staying street legal), aiming for about 250rwkw. And from what I've heard at his power level, the rb20 will be fairly laggy. Basically i need power on tap at every point around a track, particulary coming out of corners at maybe 3500-4000rpm or so, will there be sufficient power at this point in the rev range with 250rwkw to remain responsive and competitive. If so I will buy the gts-t no problems as i love every other aspect of the car. Also, what rpm can a stock rb20det safely rev to. Or should I just pay the extra cash for a rb30DETT, basically looking for neck snapping response form a decent way down, say 3500 to redline, the response/torque comes before peak power, but still has to have decent power to be competitive. Cheers
