Thankyou so much guys for all your positive thoughts :)

I feel alot better having mates give advice and company, thankyou all.

I wanted to arrange a fundraiser because a close friend of mine also has cancer. The fundraiser could be a bbq for anyone, and they could check out some cars at the same time. At the end of it all we could donate all the money to the anti cancer council.

It would let us become a bit more known and for good reasons.

sorry to hear buddy

my mum has had cancer twice and its not nice to see her going throught treatment that makes her feel bad. but there is always light at the end of the tunnel - just stay positive. medicine and prayers are more powerful than many people believe.

cancer is a word thrown around all too often and the connotations it carries often overshadow the fact that lots of people do recover fully and have fantastic lives.

my thoughts are with your family...

dude we are with you through this....it sucks i no, my father passed away from this 24th april, things happen for a reason, you will all get through this :-)

on the fundraiser note, i have been in contact with a lady from the anti-cancer council for a little while now with our volunteering scheme at work, i mentioned what she thought would be a good idea that a car club could do that would attract some people to raise some money for them...she will be getting back to me soon i hope.......a bbq or something sounds good, or possibly how would some people feel(bmt or others) about say a dyno day or something car related that can be done and a portion of the price for everyone is donated ie..(not correct figures i no)normal dyno $80 club dyno day $50..we pay 70 instead and donate the extra 20??? and anything else from a raffle or something??

just a sugg

Im sorry to hear all your stories and experiences with cancer, I really do understand how you guys feel.

My Mum has to have a breast removed due to the cancer spreading, she heard the news yesterday although she is a strong person and everyone around her has been supportive.

Hotsky thats a great idea mate!!!! Let us know what they say about the fundraiser, the bbq sounds good although I think you idea about the dyno day is excellent!!!! And a raffle also sounds good.

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
