I can tell the sound of a RB25DET and a blitz BOV from a mile away :D

nah, just ive heard them alot and can recognise what they sound like quite easily... hmmmm... maybe it was that black R33 down the road but it usually dont come past my house and it dont sound like that... sounds quieter (stock exhaust, bov n ****)

insurance assesor just came over and looked at the car..

he said he'll ring me either later today or tomorrow abd let me know which quote to go with..

he said at the moment it gonna be "glossip st. smash"

and i asked what they were gonna do..

they are gonna send for the same front bar from japan!!!!

check this oout..

i took my car in to a bodykit place to pick a front bar for it..

i was thinking of a 400r bar..

when i said that to the little asain dude he flipped... :lol:

hes like "wtf this is a genuine nizmo kit!! u cant just throw it away.. i fix for u ill fix it and prime it by monday (i took it in thurs)"

i was like wtf?

he said those kits were expansive as fck and heaps hard to get..

so im like kool ill keep it :):D

he took the front bar off straight away and sure enough there was the nizmo sighn on the back of the bar..

so this explains why i have nizmo badges where the GT badge is supposed to be.. ;):)

na the insurance company had to chose the place

its glossip st. smash (across the road from where i got the paint job quote mark..)

then they refered me to steven's presteige body shop. who reconised the bar and are gonna fix it.. actually the bar should be done and primmed by now ..

now i gotta take the car back to smash place and get them to fix the bonned and bar support (which is WAY more bent then i could imagine! :lol: ) then theyre gonna spray and fit the bar again..

:lol:

then im gonna roll again.. :P :uh-huh:

    • And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.
    • No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.
    • Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
    • 2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.
    • I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
