PM Blind Elk...did the same thing you are considering, champ bloke who wont lead you astray with BS if he doesnt know...unlike me, who will tell you RB25s suck....p0pl who have put an RB25 in an R32 are probably the same ppl that piss all over the seat of the public toilets...i hate those guys :P

Oi. I represent those remarks :P

carl, put a RB25DET in, it will almost beat hands down a modded RB20DET. My RB20DET punched a whopping 115 kW through all 4; the RB25DET, running aftermarket ECU and crap 95 octane (Oz octane) and 10psi pushed 180 out through all 4 wheels. I figure that's close to a stock GT-R, and beats the crap out of those 5 litre lumps of cast iron V8 push-rod crap that can't even push that off the flywheel.

Yeh yeh yeh...we know...But in my small galaxy the hot girls dont think they could ever be so lucky as to land a guy like me, thats the reason they ignore me...and the RB20 is god because i f i blow it up its $600 :D

Sounds like the planet where i live, but if my bottom end blows, its $100 :/

bottom end might be $100, but the adapter is $450 minimum.

mods to make it work on 4wd = another couple of hundred.

mods to the vvt head to make the vvt work = dollars.

oil restrictors to the head = small dollars

mods to engine mounts = more dollars.

new turbo due to 3L sucking your current turbo dry at idle = $1900 minimum.

to make use of this turbo and capacity, you'd want injectors, fuel pump and new tune = many more hundreds.

if you don't have the PFC already to run all this = $1000

New AFM to make use of all these goodies during the tune = $300 +

as much has I hate to say it, my rb30 dreaming days are over for the gts4.

I'm stuck with the ROYb20det.. :/

I've worked out I should be able to get to a REAL goal of about 200rwkw with about $4K and still have a drivable road car without TOO much extra lag.

I'll save my rb30 dreams for the future.. if I can be bothered.

so ROY - can I come back to the clan?

Im not sure really, you seem for too sensible to become a blibbering RB20 POWAH idiot :no:

WHne im back in Syd next, take my car for a spin...im betting it will convince you to spend the extra 6 months spreading the cost of the RB309 over a longer period. I love my cars...its ace...but if you want grunty mid it just doesnt do the job

where do i get another rb20 for 600 bucks i just bought the rb30 and was gonna do the goods but i dont want to spend that dosh as my engine is lossing oil presure and has a wine at 1200 rpm and sounds like its coming from the 1st cam bearing (help)

If you're in Melbourne, you bring a trailer and $600 round to my place - I still have the RB20 that I took out of the R32.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
