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:

PICT0610.jpg

Whack on a big front mount intercooler:

PICT0606.jpg

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

PICT0614.jpg

S13 Coilover conversion at the front:

PICT0620.jpg

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?

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 :)

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
