Im nearing the completion of my rb30det and im coming up tight on funds trying to finish it and get the car on the road.

What i want to know is will the rb25det headstuds that came with the head ok to re use? Or should i save up a bit more and get some arp studs. Im running a set up to make some decent horsepower so will the factory items do alright? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks,

I know of two people who have done this conversion and used the original head bolts, they were in visually good condition and if torqued up properly, they should be fine. If they dont look right, don't use them. Obviously it would be best to buy new ones if you can, but there is no reason the original ones wont be ok, just remember, they are probably 10-15 years old now...

      CD009 RB Conversion

      New or used transmission? Alignment will be the same with engine running or not. If new, i'm presuming it's a clutch release bearing size issue. If used, are you certain it's a CD009/A and not an older CD008 or less? They had known synchro issues. In my opinion, these transmissions should always be purchased new, they're dirt cheap and you avoid dealing with old revisions.

      You've got yourself a good old game of have fun. That shit is annoying as hell to remove. Thankfully for you, yours is on metal, most of the stuff I take it off is plastic, so typically hear guns are out. I normally end up continually dragging my thumb with pressure over it to get it to peel up. Eucalyptus oil then works well for getting residue and last remnants off.   Edit: plastic scraper might be worth while too. One that'll dig into the foam tape, but not scratch the paint.

      So I ride and race motorcycles for fun and have always used a van to transport my track weapons. Figured towing a racebike with a skyline would be different and if done right could - "look fully sik" or quite cool for us grown ups lol. Pic of yours truly on two wheels I also have a trailer already kitted out to transport my bikes ...and I have a spare set of rims that match the car that I was going to rebarrel to get deeper dish at some stage but they have just been gathering dust. Sooooooo it is only logical.... Stay tuned !!

      If by "flap disc" you meant "chocolate wheel".... then they are OK for getting off stubborn remnants. But not for stuff with bulk depth. If by "flap disc" you meant "abrasive paint f**ker"....
