bens is mid 13sec with vg turbs, i/c, exh and fuel pump.

check out seans and simons r31's.....12's?

hope to join them soon

How much did they spend though? Compare that to how much Lindsay spent on the GTS2 genuine RB30ET.. and then tell me that RB20 is better :P RB30 is a low revvin truck motor.. and the Rb20 has nothing at the bottom of the rev range.. depends what you like, each to their own.

hehe that thread got me a bit angry gts2turbo, had to add my bit to help ya out.

nate you should think before you post. reread my post, the fm 1200, fuel pump 300 vg turbo 400, boost cut defender, exh 1000 max, etc. pretty small total for a car that will outrun a wrx as simon did when i was driving my old mans rex a few years ago (and simon had the r31still)

HEHheehe,

Firstly Bens car = simons old car, dont think ben has ever driven it at the plex i think simons best time was a mid 13.

Secondly i have spent jack all on my car mods wise, hi flow, intercooler fuel pump, thats it. Same mods you will have to do with a rb30et to get a similar time.

Cheers DCIEVE :rolleyes: ......its very frustrating when you know something to be true ie RB20's into the 12's for cheap, and you have a load of people on there saying it can't!....still I find the Odd 'heated' debate entertaining :)

Nate: I would have spent probably twice as much as RB20Lagwagon and will run no faster....but I have my reasons for retaining the RB30 ;)

well just read those posts u had the link too.. bunch of morons most of them.. Put me off becomming a member :D

Yes but Summoner, you are reading the eastern states tool. The guy trouble making there is from Vic and trouble makes everywhere. He started at me for quoting him! The WA guys are alot better. GTS2TURBO was the only WA guy there and he is on SAU too so he can't be that bad.

Thats ok then!

The troublemaker dude started a thing called a 'dirty sanchez' and told me thats what I want. Poor deprived thing he must be. He also called me a b*tc*h cuz I mis-spelt his name. Oh well.

You were not on the Coastals cruise on Saturday night?!?!

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
