Hi all, just joined the forum after finally making my mind up to hang onto an R32 I have imported. Originally was going to sell it but couldnt bare to part with it after a drive. I currently own a Silvia, CA18DE lol so the RB20DET was a huge step up! The car is a Black GTST 1990 model, 5 spd. No mods except for suspension......its pretty low, but feels very stable.

Over the next few months I will be giving it a bit of a tidy up as there are some rough paint spots here and there and then should be moving onto the modification path......have to get used to the extra power but first I think!

Just wondering whether you guys get together often for cruises and stuff like that? I would be interested in getting out a bit in it. I have a mate with an Auto R33 Gtst so we will probably get out and about pretty soon, would be good to have a few more to tag along with......

Thanks

Patrick

Hey Patrick! Just in time for the Skyline Charity Cruise. For details find the thread in the events section. All welcome and we are hoping to get 100+ Skylines on this cruise to aid the Starlight Foundation.

Hi Patrick

Welcome to the forums and the wonderful world of skylines :happy:

Make sure you keep an eye on the Events Section like R33S2 said - the Tuesday night dinners are a great way to meet people ;)

There is also a FAQ Thread on how to join SAu Qld if you are interested.

Also, put your name down for the SCC06 - another opportunity to "Meet 'n Greet" and have a cruise.

Enjoy!

      You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?

      Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership

      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.
