**RB2530**

My 2c worth is to build an RB25/30...Peak torque at around 4000 rpm makes an awesome street engine...It may exceed your budget a bit but you wont regret it once its done....I am making 220-230rwkW at 0.8-0.9bar with standard inj and ecu. AFRs dont exceed 12:1...

Thanks mate...I will keep an eye for him cheers

Roy, I also recently fitted JJR (Chinese origin but they atleast are branded with warranty) upper rear control arms from Just Jap. The guy who set up the rear end looked at them and thought they were top shelf. Welding and finish appeared to be top notch... China now turns out two different qualities. 1. Really cheap shit that you dont touch, and 2. Reasonable quality at reasonable pricing. I'd say go the JJR.

Yeah you have a point. I wouldn't use any Chinese stuff that has been welded...caster rods are solid though. Replace the high tensile bolts with new ones and i would say you would be sweet for street use. Also the caster rods are loaded mainly loaded under braking...stopping the wheel from moving forward / back ward under braking. If you are on the track and running slicks , ie very high braking forces I would run decent castor rods...

I put some 'no name' brand ones in my car about a year ago now and they have been fine. Every now and then I grease them as they get a bit squeaky. I think I got them from Unique Auto sports for about $200... I think the more expensive ones would be a bit lighter thats all... I actually ground an extra 4-5mm off the centre adjustment nut and ended up getting around 9-10deg caster...Makes heaps of difference for turn in etc. One of the best handling mods for GTSt. Tyre wear has stayed the same too!!! cheers

Just wondering if there are any RB25/30 guys out there in Newcastle. I built one last year but the engine builder didn't do the VCT plumbing. Am keen to talk to anyone in Newcastle with the VCT running on an RB25/30......
