If your looking for a good tuner go see Gavin Woods, i got mine tuned by him yesterday and he had the whole thing sorted in a few hours, and i was allowed in the dyno room to watch and see the whole process, you wont get ripped off either.

Hello, i'm ian from Malaysia..

Sorry for the questions but i have search all around and takes me no where..Currently i'm on my project rebuilding my RB20 to RB24..and the prob is the stock connecting rod clearance issue..i have source out for info and few told me that after market RB25/26 rods such as Eagle will fit into RB20 blocks give u clearance around 2-3mm(??) or is it any after market rod will fit without any issue??regarding the photo given,the bottom block was cut, but this is for using with Eagle rods right??is there any measurement that i can refer to cut the bottom block since i'm using stock RB25/26 connecting rods..

sorry for my English..

Cheers..

Hi,

We didn't need to cut this recess for the rods to clear as the rods cleared with 3 - 4 mm to spare. We had all plans to machine them out but decided to dummy it up first just to make sure it was required - And it wasn't. I guess it depends on the rods you use.

On another note, The care visited Horsepower Solutions the other week for a run in tune, While on the dyno they noted an excessive amount of blow by - I told them to push through it to see if it cleared up which it did mostly however it is still there.

We decided to rip the engine out next week however now with the storms that hit Brisbane on Sunday and the 50mm hail that decided to pimple 3/4 of my daily and my missus car The build has again been put on hold.... Yay!

On basic run-in tune limited to 6000rpm and 11 - 12psi of snail power the car was making a very comfy 230~kw at the rear wheels on BP 98. Once I try get some cash together "again" I'll strip her down and check for issues before putting some larger injectors in an seeing what she goes like on E85 and 30psi.

As I think someone said earlier **rattles tin**

Cheers!

    • 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.
