I recently started gathering parts to build a rb22 hybrid engine for my R32 GTST...but circumstances have changed and that project is now dead...but it ain't all bad...because i have seen the light...or perhaps moved over to the dark side (depending on your point of view)...gone is my 237rwkw R32 GTST and in its place now is a 3L straight 6 twin turbo brute...

A deal too good to pass up came along and I went for it...the car is still stockish at the moment with and exhaust and safc...it also came with 272 degree cams...other goodies include the factory big brake kit and factory bilsteins...which is a bonus...i'm guessing it makes around 200rwkw at the moment at about 12psi...but it will make alot more when i'm done with it...

Therefore...i will soon have a blown rb20det to give away along with other bits for the rb22 build...stay posted...cheers...

Its got a getrag in there...so i think that answers the auto or manual question...

I don't like the wing as well...but it leaves some really ugly holes if you take it off...so that might take awhile to sort out...at least i know that the toyota engineers have actually designed it to provide proper downforce...

I don't mind it as well but it does look better without the wing...

After throwing it around a few corners yesterday i must say that its very balanced and planted...and while its not exactly light its more nimble than you might think...the chassis is great...oh what a feeling...lolz!!!

      Cold Start Rattling Sound

      By silviaz · Posted

      So my rb is finally having more problems. 2 issues here but I'm here to just to mainly discuss the rattle noise. The other day when I turned on the car and when I take off or go in reverse, there is a temporary rattle noise but when I cruise, boost, idle it's completely fine no rattle whatsoever. I've also done all the servicing, all the health checks you can think of and it all passes with flying colours.  Also the rattle doesn't increase with rpm, it's only at a very certain rpm (slightly above 1,100rpm). My other car also has the same issue every once in a while. Changed the oil recently, no difference. Even took my oil to a lab and everything was quite good surprisingly. Timing belt changed a while ago to. Had the car on the hoist and can't see anything obvious. Tightened a couple of nuts on the exhaust manifold a couple of months ago. 2 different clips uploaded. One of them was supposed to another issue but I'll save that for another time. Thought I'd see if anyone had this same noise before, it's a bit hard to diagnose while it's intermittent. If I'm not mistaken, I think I had this a while back but can't remember exactly. I was thinking if it's doable I'll get someone to hold the throttle cable at 1,100rpm and hopefully it replicates the sound. rb25det rattle only.mp4 rb25det slow start + rattle.mp4

      Yeah I’ll know when I take it for a test drive and I’ll double check the turbos as well when I have a look at it again.  Just thought maybe they might have done something in the head cause it looks like they’ve taken off the rocker covers 🤔 Thanks for your info!

      As Duncan mentioned it's likely a remapped ECU, like the the one listed in the link I post earlier:  https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/444260/car/444612/2099320/parts.aspx He quoted 444PS with an unopened engine and twin GT2510s @ 1.1bar boost... sounds about right?
