was over at Red R Racing yesterday checking out the new engine room. Paul was showing me box after box of new parts for your build.

the deal Paul has worked out for you is a cracker. We got stuck into pulling the 25 out last night and getting it ready to be sent to its new home.

hey dave - paul has spoken about u and your setup in the past...do u have a thread on your car? im interested to know what turbo setup u are running to achieve 604awhp.

its funny if u look at the gtr.co.uk website a lot of the gtr owners have taken up the rb26/30 upgrade as well as the rb30 god in nz (rips racing)...looks like the 3ltr bottom is finally starting to make recognition here in aust :thumbsup:

oh dear paul - no more can u lay sh1t on forklift motors HA!

HKS T04Z Marko. The figure was made at autosalon and was tuned by Paul the night before. It was good enough to win us a dyno trophy :thumbsup:

Paul always had the 30 idea floating around and one day wanted to build one but in a RWD car as the 4WD RB30 still was not a proven combo in aust. Now that his friend in Sydney has sucessfully has got a 4WD one sorted and has spent a bit of time with his mate Justin in Brisbane who eats and sleeps 30's (single cam) he was keen to build one that would be 'off the hook'. NYTSKY's new bottom end was going to be a methanol drag engine wearing 'twoogles' current head put into an s13 silvia but when the sale of the gtr shell fell through the plans were shelved. I would have liked to have seen the s13 car completed but having it going in Dave's car will at least have it around to see running instead of selling off all the bits.

Forklift jokes were to wind up you guys on here, im sure you know how much he likes a bit of a giggle. lol.

Keep the VCT with the cams i have now or go 264 IN 272 EX and no VCT?

Decisions, decisions.......

I have seen back to back runs on a big 25/30 with the VCT on and off, the difference on low end torque was very noticeable.

Just out of curiosity what do you use this car mainly for, just as a weekend warrior? Or does it see lots of track action?

No doubt I would lose my license very quickly with that sort of power on the street, ~200kw is enough in this cold weather atm for me!

Read all 56 pages over the last 2 days, was a top read! One thing I would add is you should consider plumbing your catch can back into the intake, that way you will get vacuum assist to help scavenging all the blow by gases etc, might result in a little oil in the intake but generally nothing wrong with that.

Also how much difference was there with the VCT power wise down low? Curious as mine is currently not connected (using rb20 ecu) but I am considering building a controller for it.

plumbing it into the intake is fine on the street but not on the track. I originally had mine set-up that way and saw no blow-by on the street but at Superlap the car blew oil out the breathers, filled the small tank and then spewed oil into the turbo. Coming off throttle into turn one the oil sprayed out the inlet tract shorting out the AFM's, cutting the car out mid corner and almost ended up on its roof!

Oil mist is also detonation fuel.

Just curious how bad the tolerances must be on my motor for them to rattle for a solid minute when cold.

i think it also depends on the pistons u are running, if they're teflon coated etc

i running mahle's & yes they make a bit of noise but it wouldnt be longer than 20sec maybe?

I'm running arias pistons, but its quite a loud racket for about a minute, if the cold start pulls the ignition timing (only seems to do it 1/3 starts for some reason) they don't rattle though, generally the lower the revs the worse it is, might have to look into getting the tune amended.

Anyway I'll stop taking this thread off topic.

So NYTSKY you reckon the 30 will chirp second? :D

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
