I run BCPR6E NGK's.

They are gapped to .8mm and are the V-groove type.

The V-groove is supposed to improve combustion at lean afr's, unsure if its a gimik or not. :(

I grabbed mine from motortraders, ~$16 for 6.

I've always ran these, never had issues with fouling or missing, the longest I've had a set in for was ~30,000km's. They were still fine, I've had my current set in for ~20,000km's, I will replace them before the next tune.

So much to read and learn in this thread!!!

already read the guide but im sure most of my questions are answered already in here ...

one i do want to know soon though is :

is anyone running GTR rods in the RB30? got a set here and gonna start building one for later down the track .. so just wondering if anyone has them and if they would be better than the std. rb30 rods????

They would be stronger, but they are 31 mm too short.

:) cheers :ph34r:

:) cheers :D

:lol:

i havent looked into the differences in the rods etc as yet but i guess you just solved that issue for me!

I've had a look for aftermarket rods .. only see I-beam rods .. anyone found H-Beam rods for the RB30?

still alot of reading for me to do til i catch up with everything!

I have used REV's and they sh1t all over eagles, honestly dont even bother with an eagle or any other six inch chev rod that is machined to suit they are never as good as a purposely produced item. REVs are really good value for money and I havent had a problem yet, car has produced in excess of 580hp at the wheels, drives around normally with 500hp at the treads and has done 5000ks of hard service and are fine. Another rb30 a friend has with them through a main bearing and upon inspection of all the rods they were still well within factory specs this car has similar hp figures to the previous. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get a good rod at the middle to lower price range, as they measure just as good as some of the more expensive rods I have delt with!!!

    • Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out
    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
