I will post up some with all the sponsors livery next week once it is all made public. Unfortunately it was bit of a rush to build as i only had a fortnights holiday to strip, mock-up 26, strip, paint then re-assemble..... but i am pretty happy with the way it turned out.

looking good. I'm keen to see and hear it with some RB power :)

Needs the T517Z's on my desk fitted then we will be happy..... the Std RB26 is no match for the old worked SR20 that was in it..... we thought we would get away with it in WA (as turbo's were still in transit) but we struggled majorly for power (4th gear track) Mallala should show its full potential.

Yeah, I saw it going around Wanners and it didn't look like it had enough grunt to get the wheels frying. Better luck for Mallala. Cat still seemed to draw a crowd though :)

That old SR was an animal, I only heard it on video but it was awesome.

I can't wait to see some RB26 powered Kuroi style runs from Cat...

I hope there are plans for the new Uras GT aero to go on it after the current aero gets damaged.

I saw it at a car show recently and it looks awesome

haha yeah for sure i love that kit.

the old TRUST SR20 i built for it is now resting in my kitchen :wub: , gonna give it a freshen. Not sure whether to sell or keep for a rainy day same with the $9k PPG box attached to it. SR stuff always comes in handy.

give it to me trent. I will make a home for it and the box in my GTST. i'll give you the old RB20 in it as swap. hell you get two more cylinders for free. can't argue with that kind of value.

edit: yes I love the new GT kit. almost enough to make me buy a 180. :wub:

when will URAS come up with something decent for 33's......i really want something new for my car

tell me about it.... they actually joke that there are more 33's in oz than japan nowadays.... and cant justify a new kit. But i will continue to pester them :nyaanyaa:

hows the weight balance with the car with an extra 2 cylinders over the front wheels compared to the SR? Now that the same shell has been drifted with a SR and a RB, would make for an interesting comparison...

SR WINS HANDS DOWN. The setup works well but if was to build a serious track car i would not go down this path unless i moved engine back 15-20cm.

The SR was far nicer to drive in anger around a circuit, as for drift it (RB) works well but we spent a lot of time setting up the suspension.

Once the turbo's are on it will be quick but honestly a few more grand spent on the old SR (maybe a BC stroker kit) and it would match it (RB) fairly easy.

I am toying with completing the conversion the way i had originally planned, by installing the double wishbone front suspenion into the S13. I just ran out of time.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
