  1. G'day all, Here we have a GReddy inlet manifold to suit an RB25DET for sale. I bought it some years ago with the intention of fitting it to my 25/30 VL Calais. I never got around to it, now the car and parts have to go. The manifold saw little use on a power boat before I bought it, and has been living in my shed ever since. Comes with fitting manual (Japanese) and hardware. Located in ACT, I'm asking $700. PM me or call/SMS 0402 679 897 if you are interested. Cheers.
  2. I know its not a stock turbo/intake setup, but damn this sounds wicked!
  3. Great, thanks for the info For the moment its on hold due to a matter of funds, but I will definitely take your advice into consideration. I have been considering dropping the whole lot into an R32, but again this is more likely to happen later rather than sooner, once I finish my apprenticeship BTW, anyone know what a good R32 rolling shell might be worth, just out of curiosity? Cheers, Roo
  4. None taken .The reason for such odd Power vs. Torque figures is due to a rather restrictive intercooler. Between about 2100-3300 rpm I have access to full boost (10p.s.i), but by the time I've reached 4500 rpm its all the way back at 6 p.s.i You can see on the dyno sheet where the boost really falls off. Once its gets up on the revs, the cooler simply can't flow enough air. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this setup should really start singing at around 4000/4500 rpm, right where its all over.... I'm condisering sending the cooler to Garrett for a recore (Nizpro tanks are good as far as I know?) and getting the turbo high-flowed/steel wheels. Any other recommendations? Will I need a fuel cut defender (sometimes it surges/cuts under boost at lower revs - i.e. full boost to manifold) or rising-rate reg? Thanks for any input, Roo
  5. Ok, so its been a while.... I've been busy finishing my CIT course - flat out! Here are some pics and info from the prevoius owner. I would have loved to do the conversion myself, but this came along and was far more cost effective Engine 7,000 km's old 3ltr, acid cleaned, crack tested bored and honed 50 tho to suit oversized pistons, shot peened rods. New mains, big ends, small ends, balanced etc. genuine Nissan head gasket reconditioned RB25DET cylinder head with extra provision for VCT, ceramic T3 turbo driven only on 6 psi 3inch exhaust with high flow cat New bosch 910 fuel pump Custom braided lines for turbo Nizpro engine bay mounted intercooler Wiring harness professionally modified to suit vl Gearbox R33 turbo 5speed manual box Pulled down for inspection before fitting Short shifter Harness and speedo modified to suit vl Heavy duty clutch, shaved flywheel, Fully balanced and modified drive shaft to suit r33 box 148RWkW and 530Nm on 6 PSI, std. R33 computer Will get more pics up later on some time. Cheers, Roo
  6. Thanks for the warm welcome guys I'll get some more info. and pics up next week, once I give it a wash
  7. Hey guys and gals, i've just recently joined the the forums, and I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Roald, but you can all call me Roo.... its easier Now, I don't drive a skyline, but i do have a RB30DET (25/30) in my VL Calais, and I figured this would be a good place to get some good info on the newer nissan tech, as the VL sites i've become accustom to are more 'SOHC oriented'.... I have some Q's regarding my setup etc. but I'll get to them at a later date (studying....) Looking forward to getting involved, Regards, Roo
  8. Hi mate, possibly interested in this for my car, i'll let you know...
