all the same engine but engine has evolved over the years with improvements to torque and power delivery and the power itself is up even though they all have a power figure noted of 206kw but everyone knows that this was fudged by a fair margin there is a good writeup on this somewhere I think it was in HPI will have to dig it up

i will have a mv automatics valve for sale in a couple of weeks!!

or the whole auto box with it if someones interested.

im getting a rb30 bottom end built,manual conversion and 150hp nos kit run by my haltech(fed automaticly,cant trust myself with a button!!!)

re-tuned to 24psi.

should be good to go in 4 weeks!

...Jay ur a crazy mofo!

Motion seconded!

My mods, sell RS4 and buy 260RS.

+ exhaust, boost and PFC = 250awkw

+ full suspension kit from RS4, stereo from RS4 and stuff i dont already own

+ BEE*R wheels, + AWESOME tyres, + 2nd set of wheels with semi slicks.

alex your suspension kit wont fit the 260rs u know, well the fronts will but the backs wont just to let u know.

or do u mean thats the stuff u got to sell ?

Alex you will need the fork style bottom for the rears.

That is called a front strut bar, as it goes between the front strut tops.

I dont know wether you can buy a genuine Stagea one, I thought they were standard?

You can buy aftermarket ones, should cost you ~$100 for a cheapy.

nissan would sell them but i couldnt imagine the stupid price they would want for one, i'd be guessing over $200 easy, so as ska as said best bet is an aftermarket one from whiteline (ask sydneykid im sure he could organise u one), or one from another company, im 95% sure they would be identical to r34 gt-t's but thats only guessing so dont take my word for it :)

hope it helps

Brad

Mods to do:

*Get door inserts retrimmed in black suede, maybe roof lining too.

*New shocks/springs (through darrin! :) )

*10" flip down tv for back, 7" for front.

*More dynamat sound deadening for front & rear doors

*Get my guages finally installed

*CF look dash (yahoo jp)

and thats bout it ... my car's more for cruising than for speed.

just won my bid for a highflowed VG30 turbocharger !!

:)

future plans obviously now revolve around this beauty.... dunno tho the condition, could require rebuild (already highflowed lol!!) but might be all ok. Will find out soon enough I guess, should get it in the next 2 weeks. coming off a R32 making 257 at 14psi, apparently.

whoohoo!! Im guessing even if it is shagged, being pre-highflowed, a rebuild would be under a grand? meh, either way my winning bid was CHEAP!

I plan on running mine in. only 800 kms to go.

Good luck

Nice work Brendan! I see a very nice price there, good work, if it is in good nick that is a real bargain!

Cheers

Luke

cheers Luke - $150 off ebay LOL, no-one else bidded as the very bottom line stated "item sold Suit Rebuild regardless of condition"... very confusing. Ive asked the seller (all paid for lads, soz) about it and he says its still on the R32, was driven into the wreckers yard, pics look good, he cant gaurantee the exact condition so he wrote that little statement as part of his normal business practise.

it has a 7day return policy, and was advertised as highflowed, so Ive got a few comebacks if it isnt as advertised on ebay, as per ebay rules, etc. But I dont see how I can go wrong.... if its in bad nick then I'll save upto a grand and have it rebuilt only, if its in good nick then Ive got the Ebay Bargain Of The Year

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
