hehe no.. mines lightly modded. I want to see some of these 300rwkw+ VLT's on the dyno.

I don't mind a few VL's rocking up as they did last time. After all they are an RB 6cyl Turbo. The only thing I would suggest is maybe no NA VL's or even NA silvia's etc. Its even good having the odd LS1 on there, spices up the day and gets people interested again. Have the same lightly modded 32/33/silvia after 32/33/silvia and it tends to get a little boaring.

Nice... Bl4ck32 runs a Q45 and making ~218rwkw hits load point 17. So a fair indication. I'd think its going lean up top, it would have to be. :S Its probably not pinging due to the big turbo allowing the motor to breathe nicely.

I personally wouldn't mind a few calais turbo ppls, always widens some of the skyline ppls eyes with how much potential the old RB30ET has and power made with simple mods...

Pic looks awesome.. Now a nice little final touch to make the inlet and exh. gas look animated and it would be complete.

Last tea/cruise I went on was before the little boy was born... So ~2yrs ago.

I'm IN

$440 + postage for the coils. Able to get them for ~$550 inc postage new from various places.

Nissan sell sections of chassis rails (look u will see they are in sections) and not all that expensive.

Stocky, The base map is designed to max out the injectors with anything more than near stock airflow levels. A better indication is what the airflow is reading, so... What does it read? Maxing out the std airflow meter depending on dyno is anywhere from ~185rwkw+, after that it gets leaner as the motor ingests more air but is unable to increase fueling as it simply doesn't know. Mine was on 4.98v @176rwkw, AM-Performance is seeing 187rwkw and it always snags 5.115v (max).

Yer go the RDA's, very well priced.

No cruise for myself either... Just the lunch. Do the places suggested support the parking we need? The list is damn long. The biggest meet that I have seen so far. Not so long ago SAU SA was only a handfull of people that I could count on both hands.

Nothing a set of better tyres could sort.

I think thats what he's done.. welded up just single spinner for the burnout comp. He eventually became annoyed with it and dropped in a normal diff again. He wasn't keen on lockers, especially as it was gutless.

So this is the so called internal gate garrett have had on the drawing board for some time? Where's the GT35r .82 internal gate? So not similiar to this solution then? I.e using the 5bolt t3 housing. http://www.atpturbo.com/root/releases/release103105.htm and the GT35r. http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merchant...tegory_Code=GRT ATP have had these around for some time... But are the butchered turbine housings are cast to suit the application? I'd like to see the wastegate setup on the slide turbo.

The locked diff comment reminded me of a mate who modified the diff of his old corolla. He some how welded it so that it was a one wheel drive. After that he was able to step on the brake at any speed in any gear and instantly smoke it. Had it down the burn out comp and won one of the years also. The problem with one wheel drive is the slightest incline and the thing gets bogged as you try to take off, simply sits there and spins. Awesome fun.

I would be very happy with it only being $300 to fix. Its quite a big job replacing the waterpumps on these RB's. You require coolant... The water pump, there's almost $150 in parts. Then you have to remove the radiator, all fan belts, harmonic balancer, timing belt, remove the water pump replace it then all those bits go back on again. $300 is a very good price and who ever it is is definitely looking after you.

The other consideration would be boost run. The slide turbo may work better at a higher or lower boost level, I think the important thing to test in this case would be to push the turbo to the very limit. Push as much boost through the gcg item as possible, then do the same with the slide unit.

Still freaks me out how the thing spools..... Awesome vids McStock.

Yes the price of R33's and r32's has dropped as of late.... sad sad sad.

and for future reference All clutch and brake (their contact details are in the workshop sticky) are able to recondition the brake master cylinders. They also have aftermarket (PBR etc) new master and clutch slave cylinders. The master is around $70 the slave around $40.

Nice... good to see a bit of headwork - valve deshrouding. The redbull can really put the piston size in perspective. lol Maybe you mentioned some where but why and or how did the old motor fail?

Anywhere from 190rwkw to 210rwkw.

Who really cares this has been done to death.. We all know BB turbo's offer a longer life and better response/spool than journal bearing turbo's; its up to the individual if they wish to replace a turbo at 100,000km's or 40,000km's while putting up with a little less response. All though I don't believe for one second a well built 360degree journal bearing turbo is that bad, hell even stock VLT turbo's see in to the 300's if treated correctly. Do remember there is much more to a responsive turbo than its bearing system. Back to hotshut downs... there really is no proof, I've seen one R34 GTT turbo with stuffed bearings caused by a supposive hot shut down and thats a BB turbo, personally I doubt a single or even a few hot shut downs will stuff a turbo, the only way I see possible is if it was starved of oil when spinning 100,000rpm, which may be possible in a hot shut down situation.. who knows.. I sure as hell dont.

It prevents engine mount (rubber) breakage. Running solids is the only other way around this. I've seen a few newer cars run around with engine dampers from factory, the factory have obviously ran soft engine mounts to reduce NVH to a bare minimum, the engine damper in this case prevents excessive movement on the soft rubber that would lead to breakage. It really depends on driving style and power being made. Every car I've owned I've always been through a set or two of engine mounts.
