How do you find the front brakes? On paper should be ordinary but results often dont translate from paper to reality

And to think she is now tarnished with bits from its dirty easy sister. I feel so unclean. But when it goes bang will gladly throw it in the skip for being so inferior to a std RB20

Well its not a 20 crank:)

Std head just serviced...std cams for now and some baseline results with 20G before i try new turbos and cam combo

Its a DEI product and can get it from Speed shops like Revolution Racegear As for the engine it maybe has a few more cc, ARP head bolts, Eagle rods and Arias pistons

You can easilt use the wrinkle paint as your base then put a colour on top. I have mine in red. I may end up going over it with a deep maroon with a bit of gold pearl through it as the red is just a little bit bland and straight forward and woudl like to go to the colour similar to what was on the original R31 rockers.

I I am at work today but its a waste of time...my brain is already in Paris drinking cans and hitting on French girls with hairy armpits

Well after abusy few months with a new job/project and slowly re-wiring the Sierra and rebuilding its engine...I put it aside to do a few weeks of rather intense work on teh old R32. Its now just about ready for a full years of track duties. So did some re-wiring. Re-sprayed the engine bay....did a load of other minor tweaks...and then put the 20G backl on for the first round of back to back tests provided the new engine isnt a shitter and craps itself on run in The new heart Re-sprayed and DEI'd up engine bay Sitting in the tarted up engine bay Tucked away in the corner with her older sister until I get back from Portugal in a few weeks

Back on car at present...is 12 blade and guess its 2mm bigger than L2.

But strange thing is that this turbine doesnt match any of those. The T67 that I swapped housings with was the twin T67s that repalced the twin 20Gs on the same car and I wonder whether the turbines are specific to twin GTR setups!?!?! On the same dyno my car has if anything made the same power but with better reponse than the several L2s that have been tuned. I had bought an L2 based on what everyone had posted but after a few more RB20-20Gs rolled through my tuners workshop and we had compared results....well I sold my L2 to Kris for his drift car. So I wasnt convinced it flowed any better. Perhaps if an L2 fella ran E85 and we could see if they flowed better at 24psi and 300+rwkws

I tried to put my T67 10cm housing on my 20G over the weekend and guess what...it didnt fit. Its too small and hits the turbine. So tried the 10cm housing off the TD06H-25G I had and it swims. So it seems Trust run a different turbine again on their twin GTR setups as my20g is one of the pair off a friends R32 GTR Seems its somewhere between the L2and H. And I have seeb back to back TD06H-25G vs T67-25G and the T67 made 15-20rwkws less..all in the turbine it seems...was a rad laggier by 100-200rpm

The R32 is nothing compared to the scream of a 31 down the straight s

is it me or the promotion of the event was a little low key? There was nothing on OS websites....not a lot of local talk. I really only knew as my housemate was up their doing photography for a few sites/magazines. This should be one of the biggest things on the Aus calendar. Great cars, range of teams and budgets...good racing. Various classes. Looking forward to watching the highlights on SBS

Yeh, really looking forward to seeing what the AMGs look like. Combination of Kelly Racing not having Murphy in their ranks. rather horrible looking cars with ho-hum drivers well ... its no Farmer Fury in a DR30!

LOL, sorry. Was that too strongly worded? Sorry Trying to type fast before I get cauight playing on net vs working

Do they run the same core and bearings. materials etc as Trust turbos? Its like people that say you dont need to run coolant lines to the turbo even if they have them. I feel the designed built the turbo with the expectation that 90deg water temp woudl be flowing though the core so selected materials, tolerances etc to suit the coolant and the oil. My turbo has now done almost 70,000kms over 9 years and it was a second hand turbo off a friends 9sec Jap GTR. No problems with it. If you can get that sort of reliabbility ouot of them then AWESOME!

Eek...sorry to read/see you popped an engine Highly doubt its the cause but its never good going into Honda and popping the clutch to get it back to 2nd and pinning the revs. Best get plenty of practice on how to row back through the gears and in the future with a healthy engine its often over revs on down changes that take their toll on healthy engines

Can you message me your contact details. I need steering column trim, ignition barrel, fuse box covers etc

Good to see the power increase and the improvement in top end. Did the dyno or seat of the pants show a drop off in the mid range at all?

Yeh, its always a matter of factors. But the 3 biggest factors are tyres, track and E85...so car development is a far smaller variable. Take them off E85 and put them back on RE55s if you want a good indication of just how much the cars have really developed

Would be interesting. But I am simply slapping a 10cm housing on my setup because of the extra 400cc. Drop in back pressure will hopefully bag a few kws and help handle the extra 400cc. RB26 heads are designed around 2.6L, RB25 heads around 2.5L. They cope ok with an extra 400-500cc. Nothing wong with assuming that an RB20 couldnt handle an extra 300-400cc in displacement. I assume Nissan designed all engines around the same basic design targets for gas velocities, cylinder filling etc etc Similar thinking is why bother building any engine for the street...why not keep throwing std engines. RB25 makes more sense on the track then street due to legality issues. Not arguing just pointing out there are so many considerations and forums are good when you get the cross section of views so people make their own informed decision. LOL, I know whats been right for me with my car isnt right for other people.
