Thanks Noel, if there is one thing i like and that is to have a good yarn about all things "RB" even if my missus thinks it is absolutely mind numbing.

Another friend of mine has a built XR6T. It puts out around 360rwkw. If you think an RB30 has torque, this thing is insane. The way his car pulls in 3rd feels like mine in first, his in 4th like mine 2nd and so on. The seat of the pants feeling is scary to say the least. But mine still beats it down the 1/4 which is weird because his feels soo much quicker when you are in it.

Id like to enjoy the setup i have first, considering it has basically been off the road for a year. Plus im not out for crazy power, id just like a nice streeter. 310-320rwkw is still nothing to sneeze at and will easily smoke pretty much anything on the road.

Ill hold you to that Steve

Cubes, i agree with you 100%. The characteristics of a 30 with the same setup would be very linear indeed, but im a bit of a purest Granted i have not actually driven or been in a nicely setup RB30 of similar mods, if i had of before i started with this project things might have turned out a bit different. Who knows Though a very good friend of mine is building a monster 25/30, worked over from top to bottom and a GT-K 1000 strapped to it, need i say more. So maybe in a few months ill be able to experience what an RB30 is capable of

I have thought about all of those options, but I am sticking with the 25. I was thinking about a solid lifter conversion but I need to draw a line somewhere lol

25det all the way! I did think of it, strapping my head to a 30 bottom. But i had a goal with this engine from the start, to make if a very efficient 25, which it was before the shit hit the fan. At only 17psi it was making 293rwkw and it did it easy. That was only 15mins on the dyno. At the same boost level but with more tuning time, it would crack 300 no problem. And Adam's dyno (JEM) reads lower than most.

Shoot me PM when you get your new ones,and ill snap up the old one.

When the engine was gettng transported we needed to close the engine up so no foreign objects got in. Which meant all the covers,harmonic balancer,timing belt ect ect were getting put on. Paul did say that the timing belt was only put on for transporting the engine and would have to be redone when we had the engine in the car. So in all the excitment we forgot. And after the final tune we went for a drive to see its potential. With a tight timing belt each time i got on and off the gas the shaft holding one of the pulleys would flex back and forth, so after about 6 hrs the shaft failed due to metal fatigue, the timing belt let go,and as a result the engine went out of timing. The pistons smashed the valve train causing bent and snapped valves,also punched a nice hole in the face of the head. Now before everyone jumps to conclusions Paul is not responsible for this engine failure as he did tell me that i would need to re-tension the timing belt. When i called Paul after this had happend he was very sympethetic and agreed to help me out as much as i needed to get this thing back to the way it was. I have since bought new bearings,new valves, new valve guides,new valve seats and will be ordering new pistons as soon as i get my rego and insurance sorted. So hopefully next month ill be driving back up to see Paul with my engine to get the ball roling again. Yes as you could imagine i was quite guttered after this had happend, but after about a day or two i was fine. "Shit Happens" as they say and its nothing that cant be fixed. But rest assured she will be back with a vengence very soon! Thanks to all of you for the kind words(sound like a death in the family) lol But especially to Paul for agreeing to go further than needed to, to help a guy out.

GROUP BUY FOR SYNCHRONIC WASTEGATES ENDS ON THE 25TH OF OCTOBER.

Awesome free petrol

So the diff was still in the boot? Happy Birthday old son!

Yes the 90 degree one.

Thanks Ryan

Dates!!

When i flew back from Osaka last trip we had booked the Jetsaver ticket,but as we had a sh1t load of luggage with us we needed to pay and extra $400 to get it on.Or for $450 we could upgrade to Starclass. So we upgraded, it was the best decision! Comfy seats, a sleep pack, your own TV with many movies,shows,cartoons,music clips and comedies + free grog. As this will not be a planned trip i would rather go the cheaper option and have the extra cash handy for random splurging If the Automesse is on ill definitely be there.

When i called them to check the prices, i was quoted $517. The reason why it is so cheap is 1) because there is a sale and 2) the dates i wanted to fly. There and back the fares were the same each way. And Richard most of Jetstars aircraft are brand new planes.Their new Star Dream fleet will be soon filling the international trips. They are the ones with big windows that change to traslucent at a touch of a button.

Thats what i would like to find out. I would miss out on the TAS too, i would of liked to have been there again next year. dr1ft.jp,Laurence,M3gtr if any of read this can you please shed some light on what events big or small might be on around this time? Much appreciated

A very Happy Birthday to you both!

They do have nibblies on Jetstar,but at inflated prices. The Au is at 84c to the yen last check. But remember, you are saving $500 on the airfare so its not all bad

Does anyone have a standard RB25 drivers side rocker cover breather they would like to sell me? Johno???

Your car wont be at 13psi all the time,so i would guess a consumption of 10l/100km.

Hi all, Jetstar have a really great deal offering cheap fares to Japan. I was just quoted $517(incl tax) return!!! Which is half what i paid last year. Flights are available from late Jan to late March. So my next question is: What events are happening between Jan 20th and March 20th?? If there are some things worth seeing ill be booking next week

Hi all, Ive been trawling the net for ages looking for videos that show how well a Turbonetics GT-K 1000 would go on say an RB30 or 2jz. A friend of mine is currently building his 25/30 and has this turbo waiting to go on. But i would like to find any footage that would show how this combo would work ie: response,power figure ect ect. So if anyone has vids or knows of any links that has vids, post them up, im sure it would be great viewing.
