Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

yeah Dan, not just any RB30, but OS Giken RB30 .... just the blocks alone are $30k .... and he has bought many of them .... still has a brand new one sitting under his workbench under a sheet if I remember correctly ....

and given all that coin RIPS are making the same power and pulling 10,000rpm on a dirty old VL 3 litre block that cost $100. :/

Infact give RIPS NZ$19,500 (less 20% for exchange rate) and they'll give you a 1100+HP ready completely engine.

adding to that an OS Giken quad plate clutch at around 4-5k, an OS gearset at around $6-7k, then you got a bottom end, clutch and gearbox, around 50k later, haha.

I got my OS gearset for 5k new

what do yas think about the Ogura Racing Clutch's yet to use mine heard good feedback but

what is everyone's thought on these if you have used them b4.?

i have an orc twin plate, and i love it. had an unknown brand heavy duty clutch in the old girl when i got it. the orc has ass loads of clamping force, the friction point feels really exact and its not too hard to drive with (my gf drives it easily, and to my knowledge only stalled it on the first 2 attempts to get off the line)

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
