I've also heard that I should go for a non-Turbo first, especially since I'm driving an auto atm. Seems like a wise move IMO.

The 15k includes stamp duty, rego and insurance for a year (so about 12 or 13k for the car itself).

R34 non-turbos go for about $13k these days.

:devil: Just got to have a look at the girlfriends car, she's been complaining the last few days about overheating problems, turns out it's a stuffed head gasket. Trying to explain to her that you need to spend money on keeping a car going is like talking to a brick wall

Whos that Rad32 bloke? Had an awesome weekend in Blanchetown.

Ryan, me and Adrian were talking alot about RB30 bottom ends. What sort of difference would it make if i slapped one on my 25?

And Norman, if you think you'll be ok in a turbo, go for it. I went from an N/A auto S13 to my car, it all comes down to self control and, "easing into it".

all depends if its an early non turbo nonvvti rb25 head which came out in the late R32's or a later Turbo vvti rb25 head guys, im currently thinking about doing this for my R31. An oil gallery in the block has to be elongated to meet up with the vvti oil gallery in the head i believe, also a hole position is necessary to drill and tap a hole in the block for the idler pulley to incorporate the larger twin cam timing belt also. There is plenty of write ups about this on SAU and im sure Cubes has alot more information about it than i do...He'd be the one id ask if i needed information.

also, may take into consideration that most rb30's even tho they may be fine, would be worth either a standard spec rebuild with new rings etc..as a minimum requirement or either go all out and get a set of forgies etc....alot of work to just have a tired old motor wacked in.

You can run with the two lower tensioner locations. Just means a different cam belt.

Block off the oil galley for the vct in the rb25 head (not the block) and then drill/tap a feed for the vct or if you are running larger cams and don't wish to utilise the vct you drill the head to provide oil to the front cam bearing. Unsure exactly stockymcstock with his twincharged gt4088r rb30det worked out how to do it. :rofl:

If you run with the r32 rb25 head then its just bolts on and off you go. Its easy to lower the engine mounts ~13mm and should cost under $100. Boostworxs know what has to be done in this instance.

Once you go the 30 there's no going back. :D

    • 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.
    • With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?
    • This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.
