Hey guys,

Found this on ebay and was thinking of bidding on it;

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...p;rd=1&rd=1

I was thinking of turboing it to put in my r32 gtst, is it worth it? or would it be too much of a hassel in the long run? Auction ends tonight so need people opinions

cheers

Cameron

I contacted him about that, he said its been sitting in a shop with alot of fibreglass and bug dust.

Its now not in the shop, and at his shed he jsut hasnt bothers to clean it all off.

oh thats ok then

remember rb25de run 10.1 compression (i think) so with a turbo attatched it will get up and boggie

just becarefull as the injectors probley wont be up to the task tho

if i was going to go in that direction i'd try and buy a written off 33 with a turbo motor in it. that way you have all the stuff you need for the conversion and can sell of the erst of the bits to get some money back.

it will get up and boogie at low boost, but without lowering the compression you won't be able to run much above 5psi before it pings its arse off.

bit late now, but probly would have been go for an RB30DE(T?) motor

I learned the hard way.. but the best bet.. is.. if you want a turbo engine.. get one with it already.. saves a LOT of heartache and hassle.

i would hold out for a better looking rb25det - and would rather know why its on its own and what km;s are on the engine etc.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
