I was in the same boat my RB20 went i me and i was stuck with the same problem weither to build it back up again or buy a RB25. In the end i just rebuilt as i was happy with the power i was getting before the problems with it, so i got some aries forgies and got my machanic to rebuild her for me and i couldn't be happier, i am same as roy just like crusin around town and if i want to have fun i have to take it up to about 4200rpm. But remember i have a new recondition engine that should be good for say 150,000km (lets hope) were if you buy a secondhand motor in 6 months down the track after warrenty runs out you might be in the same boat again and have 2 engines that are no good, that was my worry

thank god im from S.A, coz u aint gonna blow this guys doors off mate........actually u probly will coz i most likely wont get traction till 5th

LOL...i dont care if your car has an Apexi turbo, stroker crank etc etc.... a case of beer says the RB20 can neva lose. :(

Are you up for a road trip to Phillip Island in 8-10 weeks...it may be worth a case of beer :)

...and when i had problems i got a wrecker motor, and my 2c is that the std RB20 they pull from a stock car that had std turbo and std ECU is so understressed that you cant really go wrong with them....my wrecker engine just like my original engine loves being punished...and im still yet to blow up an RB20 :)

ive driven a 400rwhp rb26, been in 380rwhp rb25 and a 600rwhp gtr

the only think that come close to the feel of my rb20 with 300rwhp rb20 is the 600rwhp gtr

i love the excitment of the top end power of the rb20

the other cars may have been a bit faster, but mine is more fun :(

    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
    • Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
