yeah but it is nice to explore the limits of that block, and that way you can show others that a rb30 bottom end isn't the only way to gain performance

yeah good point...must admit, i'm keeping my rb26 bottom end and eventually putting in titanium sleeves just for when the rb30 breaks (bores are already 50thou oversize and the scratches on there are atleast 40thou deep)

[Mushroom]

mine is black (three coats of paint 5 coats of clear) it is real shiney so I had to start adding polished metal. I don't have any pics of the bay, or my new additions today but soon I will

[Mushroom]

yeah wow thay are big pistons!!!! it went 20thou oversized Je's and I can't stop looking at them as they are so light but so shiney

[Mushroom]

did you run into any issues wiht water jackets etc? whit them being so big??

[N1GTR]

with headwork are you doing larger valves and springs? or just a port and polish? What sorta cams are you putting in? and what sorta power output you looking at producing?

Ah, secrets

Power will be around 400kw atw

thanks for the heads up mud, will make sure we dont damage that in ny way

all i can say is...HAVE FUN!!!

oh btw, be prepared for one of the engine mounts to get stuck, and if it does, dont just jack it up higher, caus they split in half

Yeah, ive got new mounts waiting for when i break one/both

Not sure what to say on lifters to be honest, and twins

[shanef]

well ill tel ya what happened

i had a 33, managed to get water into engine via cooler pipes (didnt realis til too late) thus causing hydraulic lock. so i went and swapped it for a stocko 32 gtr, i knew it had a stuffed clutch so i sent my 33 down on a truck to newcastle and i flew down and drove the gtr home. (driving all the way from newcastle to ipswich on a stuffed clutch that u cant bring onto the slightest boost, is very very difficult!!) so weekend after got the new clutch in, managed to put it side on into a gutter bending the left rear lower control arm. weekend after that i replaced the control arm on the saturday. sat nite headed into brissy for a cruise, got to toowong round about n started to hear a 'knock knock knock', got louder and louder, so headed home, made it and weekend after that pulled the engine out and stripped her down and found what i've described above.

so thats my story, and lets hope all goes well with the new engine

id say hydraulic would be easier to work with. being composed of buckets & shims its a piece of puss to 'adjust' them to give clearences required for different cams. dont know much more but thats just my opinion

Not sure what to say on lifters to be honest, and twins

decided on what twins? i was going for twin gt3037's, but alas i wont be able afford the set-up at the moment, so its GT-RS's for me

That sucks with the R33

Secret twins

Well, not really a secret like the head work, just custom 1 offs, so im either going to have a really good setup, or a sloth of an R32 - its a decent gamble, if the turbos dont suit me, they can be canged without much hassle, so thats good at least

Cool, get an N1 water pump while its all apart - better safe than sorry IMO

What power are you going for?

[N1GTR]

Shite - i gtg, nice talking with you guys

[shanef]

what type of headwork you got done mud? i.e have the ports been re-profiled? and have the inlet and exhaust manifolds been match ported to the head?

camshafts? what are the duration & lift of them?
