R34 GTR with a RB 30 and a big single. 4 inch exhaust and a decent suspension setup.Loud, low and tough....
Purchase price just doesn't quite tick the box. 3 out of 4 is pretty good, yeah?
G4 is brilliant, just depends on how many items you want to run off it. Flex fuel, crank trigger, wide band, oil pressure, fuel pressure... You run out of inputs very quickly.
So you reckon the dogs ain't that bad?
I've spoken to PPG the other day, damn long phone call. He is getting back to me with pricing on the straight cut synchro IF they're willing to do it.
The guy I'm dealing with has the helical dog set in his own GTR and loves it. Just need to drive one to see what the go is.
End of the day the N1/NUR or whatever "factory" RB 26 engines are nothing special at all. They still have cast pistons FFS.
N1 oil pump - meh
N1 water pump - not needed on the street
N1 block - take it or leave it
"Balanced crank" - any half decent machine shop can do that.
A basic RB 26 rebuild would be by far better value for money.
So, putting cams in a basic setup like the one mentioned above is a bad idea because it may push the curve to the right a tad, but putting a bigger engine in the car which will push the curve to the left is also bad?
I forget what I paid now. They're a tad more exxy than the Jap stuff but that's because Yavuz gets them done one or two sets at a time. Both profiles use the standard buckets, so although the sticks are more expensive, you don't have the added cost of Tomei buckets for the 30mm base circle.
