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)

    • They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.
    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
