SPEED was a great publication - was let down by GTR's wearing Falcon paint though!

As Targa Tasmania is a great event - though mine was soured by an unviewable in car camera!

*** this is purely for humour, Stu's cameras really are excellent **cough** :D

why anyone tracking there R32GTSt would want to ditch there RB20 is beyond me... for the price of a rebuild on a 25 you could buy 10 x RB20's and have them sitting in the shed as spares... blow one, just grab another... yes, I'm jealous

well I'm posting in this thread may as well put up a pic of the crapbox... currently sitting in the garage with a blown turbo... HKS 2835 is in the mail :D

gotta use all the road on those corner exits... :D

You have PM mate.

That 34 sold yet?

Thought I might chime into this thread:

Here's my "Race Gazelle" that's bean in the workshop for 9 months (story of my life)

Stock as I bought it:

Throw away this bit:

Put in this bit instead:

And you get this:

Add some skyline 4 piston brakes to the front:

And some R31 Skyline discs to the read to replace the drums:

Whack on a big front mount intercooler:

Loose the open wheel diff and replace with a detroit locker:

S13 Coilover conversion at the front:

Gauge me up baby - with all that you need including Wideband O2 connected to the Haltech:

PICT0623.jpg

And you are on the way to building a Race Gazelle

What you can't see is the :

Haltech E6X

One piece tailshaft

R33 Gearbox

8kg custom springs, lowered at the rear

Monroe Gas shockers (from an HG holden) at rear

S13 Custom Strut brace

Falken Semislicks on the front

D01J Dunlops on the rear

3.5" exhaust with metal cat

Should be a good little car when it's finished :)

Roy: Cheers for the reply, i have seen those graphs of yours before and they food for thought for sure. You pretty much got me with the name change, im putting together a fairly basic 26/30det looking for about 270-300 rwkw. I know i need to upgrade a few things on my car to take full advantage of the motor but i have a fair amount of bases already covered. That said i still plan to do a few more track days with the rb20 because after all these years its deserves it :)

Funky: cheers mate, and fwiw i bought every copy of speed lol.

Zennon: your smoking me oh wait, i just realised i didnt do the sprint track i did the clubman. What times do u have there?

you said you did the sprint track earlier? what track were your posted times for then?

zennon is pretty quick :)

my gtr was in the last issue too (before it was caged etc)... clearly they saved the best till last!

the photoshoot was such a pain though, the turbos were rooted on my car at the time and it wasn't boosting... i gave it to a mate to drive and i drove my mates 33 in the article.

Haha clearly! They had to go out with a bang :banana:

Looks like we both had bad luck Stu... they hired Calder out for half a day for me for some slide shots. Third gear gave up after about 4 passes, had to get it towed, get a new box in it, then back out for another shoot the next day... yowzas!

yeah thats the issue, mine was part of the black 32/33/34 story.

was a bit of a last minute thing and my car was meant to be at the bodyworks to fix a flaking front bumper as well as the new N1's that needed to be fitted... we just used school book covering contact to hide the missing paint!

the 33 and 34 in the article were both owned by a mate of mine and he wasn't even in the country at the time!

More RB20s out there the better. Though i read Gts30t is going to the darkside, if nothing else the user name change hints at something fishy. So think you shoudl stick with the RB20, your car will be much quicker with the money spent elsewhere on the car!

I post this a lot, but is pretty good indicator of how the RB20 can do the job better then anyone credits:

Comparison is both against RB25 NEO engines, both with GCG Hi-Flows, Bass Junky with same tuner and dyno and Poncams. Now tell me that the RB20 with the right diff ratio and turbo cant match bigger displacement RBs to the point where they are a huge hindrance.

LOL, stick with the RB20! Sooner or later you will ditch it, but shouldnt be on the must do list unitl lots of other things have been done :whistling:

Hey Brisby,

Do you have the same graph using rpm on the x-axis instead of speed?

Guess who's joined "club race car" as of today.

Brisby's gonna love me :D

LOL. you wucken LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P:D:(

I have been watching that for ages wondering when it was going to sell. I kept looking at it thinking cheap motorsport and a car that allows you to run in so many forms of motorsport with cheap parts and consumables :)

Again, congrats. Now i wonder how long until you crack it at the lil RB20 :)

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
