I'm not reading 260 pages worth of stuff, when from what I've read so far of it (about 10-15 pages in) is mainly people going "OMG, that's great, I plan to do that too"

It seems more of an RB30 chatter then a technical guide

its for ur own good, caus no doubt you'll have plenty of other questions, and it saves us looking back through the thread (like craved just did for you), which u should do instead

FYI those pics i posted are from this thread some time ago, that isnt my exact setup, but very close

Ok were about to start building the latest and greatest 25/30 to go in the race car.

Specs are as follows.

Head is rb25 with oversize s/s valves 1mm over in and 2mm over exhaust with quite abit of port n polishing. Valve springs to suit and the hydraulic lifters have been converted to solids. No more vct, its been blocked off and cams are 265 10.2mm inlet and 272 10.2 exhaust. The new block is running 9.0:1 CR. New 6boost mani to suit t04z and a plasmaman plenum instead of greddy item. New sm4 with cdi to go on to control it all.

Old motor made 370rwkws. Im hoping to easily achieve 420rwkws with this new one. But 450rwkws would be nice. Will probably have to run a 50/50 mix with toluene inorder to achieve it safely.

Old head was stock, just 256 poncams and stronger springs with greedy mani and 6boost mani and gt35r with 8.2:1CR.

Am i dreaming with the new expected power output here? Or does it all sound feasable? This new rb30det will easily be the toughest one to date for us.

if it doesnt make near to 700bhp on 25psi+ i'm gonna have to kick some1's ass, caus i've been told the t04z can make ~700bhp on a properly built motor i.e yours would be one lol

im gonna take a punt and say that 044 is gonna limit the power a bit, but you never know!

Yeh were ditching the 044 and its getting replaced by a magnaflow 1000hp pump with pre and post filters.

Water injection will only stay if its needed, if not then it will go as it will be unnecessary weight. if we did use it we would look at using it pre turbo instead of pre throttle body. But i dont think we would need it as the turbo has alot more top end then before. It worked well on the gt30 cause it was right on the limit and helped get the extra power out of it.

Think gearbox Michael, it won't like circuit racing at 450 rwkw. Check the gearbox oil temps, but I would be surprised if it doesn't need a cooler, especially in Qld. Ditto the diff.

:ninja: cheers :ninja:

geez gary, why do you have to keep coming up with negatives mate? Thats more weight, coolers and pumps for gearbox and diff. Wish we got that holinger gearbox now, it came with built in pump for cooler, atleast im pretty sure it did. The ppg set should handle 450rwkws shouldnt it?

Im really hoping for 450rwkws. Will be good to get it. 700bhp woot!

ive been pushing for that joel believe me. Ive been trying to find a rolling chassis from somewhere. But that means remaking everything again as not everything will be transferable. However it would allow for a complete strip and build a sweet new chromemoly cage that will tie in absolutely everything....haha that gets me going, our current cage is pretty basic :D

No problems with the PPG gearset, just watch the gearbox and diff oil temps. They will be marginal, especially when it gets to spring/summer in Qld.

:D cheers :D

Maybe its time to 'upgrade' to the R32 GTST chassis. :D

My recommendation would be a 1989/90 R32GTR chassis, 2 wheel drive it with the RB30. Same weight as the R32GTST but with bigger/lighter (alloy) guards, (alloy) uprights and (alloy) bonnet. Plus you have the option of 4wd'ing it later on.

:D cheers :D

Yeah go R32 Mike so I can whale you in the 33...... :D ...honestly by the time you stiffen a tired old chassis like any 32.... ahh who cares

Seriously now though, don't go pre turbo with the water. It will work over the compressor wheel and do nasties. Way back when they were just shooting a stream into the compressor which did a great job of atomising the water, which did a great job of chopping off the vanes........

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
