So what you do is go to a reputable workshop with the runs on the board..ask them if you can they can take you for a drive in some of their setups in your price range and pick the one your happy with, get them to build it..pretty simple really.

Seriously, go for a drive in different setups, best way to decide, all this tech analysis, dyno graphs mean nothing until you experience it on the road. Don't waste your time analysing dyno power runs, mph down the quarter mile is what tells you what power your making nothing else.

Waste of time revving 7s or 9s passed 7000....turbos are out of their range with a 26. At 7000 to 7500 5s are the way to go.

Just finished a fnf marathon... I am shattered....any Paul walker cruises happening in Melbourne?

Tmz said that witnesses saw loss of traction in a straight line and what seemed to be loss of steering that couldn't be corrected....something Rodas would not let happen if it wasn't a mechanical failure. The thing couldn't be steered. Fluid was seen all the way from the point of loss of control to point of impact. Tragic. I'm Shattered.

Shattered. RIP

No it's great but doesn't mean it's vastly superior to a well sorted car with less cubes. That's my point. Its like having a cam that comes in at 4000rpm on an na ls and having a 2000rpm converter, it would be a slug but put a 4000rpm converter in it and it's very efficient.
-
Yeah and then you turn up to one of their track days with a GTR with a 300kw 26 and decimate them all....as has happened many times before. And the thing that's amazing is that after 20 years a lightly tuned well sorted GTR can be driven to a track compete with current supercars and drive home. Or that a highly tuned 26 can stand toe to toe with 7 litre turbo charged LSX in a straight line. 26 must be substandard then.
-
So you're agreeing that you putting cams on a -7 setup made your car slower and a pig to drive.....funny people have been reporting this for 10+ years and there are results to support this NOT a favourable setup. Yeah you're right I don't own a GTR and all my experiences are pretend fantasy world delusions. Grow up mate. Don't try to discredit me because we have a difference of opinion.

So they all run 32s ? -
Again put up some lap times that indisputably show it's worth the change. All I have heard is opinions on how much faster the 26/30 SHOULD be around a track....I have looked myself and can't find any, so until I find data that there are SIGNIFICANT advantages to change a 26 to a 26/30 on a daily that sees 12 track days a year then as far as I am concerned it's not worth it...and if well setup will continue to be a force on the track. As for the 34 on -7s I remember it had cams in it and produced more power than the 32 you have...I think it's you....from what I know you just moved the sweet spot up by 800rpm...not the best setup for circuit as the -7 would quickly run out of puff and torque would come on too late to take advantage of their lower rpm efficiency. And yes I know of many people using 26s and running 8-9 sec quarters. A guy in qld had the fastest 26 running 7.5 from memory. And yes there is word that the mattouks like others are using patrol blocks to run more boost, so not true rb 30s As for everything else...well lets just agree that we disagree on what we think is a better car to drive on the street and many people that I let drive it love it and rave about the performance and characteristics of the 26 and yes these are people with vls, ss, supras, 200s street cars that many run 9-10 secs quarters and know how to throw a car around a track. No disrespect to you or your opinions but I have driven and been in many 30s and 26/30s....great engines....but if I wanted all torque down low I would drive my v8 but I don't and I love driving a 26 that is very comfortable driving around under boost in peak hour and is very rewarding at 4000+rpm when I want to play. But each to their own...all good.

Is your car quicker around the track now? No-one seems to be able to quote any evidence. Never said there is no advantage in a 26/30 of course there is due to the torque coming in earlier etc etc, so don't know what gave you that impression. Your comment on response is interesting. I find my daily 26 responsive enough from 3800rpm which I am happy with and swapping cogs at 7000-7500 rpm I don't fall off peak boost...if I want response from 2000rpm I will go back to driving my clubby but I love revving out my 26 that's why I drive it, fuel economy??? you've got to be kidding right? As far as pushing the limits, a 26 is more than capable of running 8sec 1/4 mile, don't need a 26/30 for this and those 30s running quicker are rumoured to be cracking blocks that's why they are starting to use patrol blocks. And even so they try to reduce torque because they lose traction mid track. Circuit is all to do with setup and driver. The reason why I quote 350kw is because 300-350kw seem to be the 26s sweet spot in a GTR for a nice daily and track event car with great reliability. Yeah and I also know of many 350+ kw 26 gtrs which get a lot more abuse than mine that 10years on and they are still running strong, standard 5 speed gearbox and all. As far as th hi octane GTR, we are talking a whole different level but still as far as I know evos are still kicking arse....but not relevant here anyway. Each to their own mate but I am yet to see enough evidence, ie track time, to suggest an indisputable advantage of throwing out the 26 in favour of a 26/30.

Hey fatz just wondering which kit has calipers that can hold the thickest rotors. Thanks -
So no-one has any track times data then...interesting. Ido09s thank you. My point all along. A well setup GTR with a built 26 with 350kw is more than capable without the headache of a 26/30 conversion for the average 12 event a year jo blow. And if driven correctly will be bullet proof.
-
Has anyone got any evidence that a 26/30 is fast around a track. With similar power levels of course. And I am not trolling as suggested just have an opinion....26s do sound better and a lot of vl boys agree. But each to their own.

XKLABA: do you know how much faster you are lapping Wakefield with the 26/30? Valuable to draw comparisons for everyone. Thanks.
