Hey Rob ( RIPS )

just wondering do you many rb26/30 conversion for locals ( NZ ) ?

is there a NZ based skyline forum by anychance?

Are the hybrids pretty popular over there?

Also I forgot to ask if their is a warranty you offer with your engine packages?

do you offer help for tuning aspects for those customers that buy just your bottom end only?

cheers

Some food for thought...

My home built low 10 sec engine using mainly stock Nissan components (my old one not the current one) with a synchro gearbox on basic road tyres (Federal 595's) runs faster 1/4 mile times than...

A mega dollar full workshop backed R34 GTR with JUN stroker making 800AWKW with a Hollinger sequential gearbox on slicks

The times are all in the set-up....not the bottom end!

This thread is about using strokers (and which one) or not...to run 9's...is it not?

Lets get it back on topic

Edited by DiRTgarage

im with Dirt :thanks:

im gonna try n say hello to the 9's as well.. hopefully sometime soon..

i been reading bout someone wanting to do 9's on stock internals?? lol good luck with that

im using hks goodies for mine.. and although its not a stroker.. its not stayin a 2.6... its now a 2.7 thanks to a bigger bore..

I don't care about 9 second 1/4s, I've seen what Mark Jacobsen can do with an RB26. you can do 7s with any of the configs....

and with the right turbo selection you dont need 600awhp to do 10s in a GTR...

I'm interested in driveability.

I've had the pleasure of driving quite a few different set-ups on the circuit now, all doing sub 65s on the long track at Wanneroo. These include a standard 2.6, Jun 2.7, my HKS 2.8, and an RB30. Each has their strengths and weaknesses.

Please feel free to give us your opinion for the circuit what you find better and why?

really appreciated it.

I am still trying to justify that extra cost of a stroker over a 2.6 when it could get me a dry sump etc.....

:thanks:

thanks

Amen to that, The bottom end is an air pump, thats it, its what you add to it and how you tune it that will give the results, then you have to put it in a suitable car with suitable running gear and drive the bloody thing right to get good results.

I had one "respected tuner" from the UK publicly complain that his car hadn't majicly turned into a 9 second monster when he blew his 600hp RB26 and fitted one of my RB30 bottom ends and did no other changes what so ever, go figure!!

Whahhh haha

Don't be too hasty, here's a street GTS4 with totally stock internal RB30 bottom end with a totally stock RB25 N/A head with stock N/A cams and springs etc, stock RB20 cast exhaust manifold, stock gearbox, stock suspension, DOT tyres running 10.2 @ 134.

We had to DETUNE it to stop breaking boxes, I'm damn sure with a good box it would have run 9s so it is "possible" its just not many people would go down that route cause even if you did do it, no-one would believe it anyway, lol.

If the 3 criteria you use (600hp, 10s 1/4 mile, reliable/drivable on the street) is indeed all that you really care about, then a standard RB26 with nitrous is your answer. If you want something that you can use for track work as well, then that's a different matter.

I've run an 11.1 with R comps and full interior at the drags, which suggests that there is a 10s pass likely with a bit of preparation. I'm sure Jonn with his similar spec engine to mine also would do this. As would Matt (silver R32) with his RB30/-5 setup.

You can get 11.5 with a R32 on stock turbos driven hard.

So 10s and 600hp is an easy task :cool:

You'll easily run a 10 with a bit of prep, not a worry in the world with your setup, should be well into the 10's at that.

Yes we do quite a few RB30 repowers for nz customers although quite a large % of our work is for overseas customers.

NZ has a forum skylinesdownunder and the 25/30 and 26/30s are very popular here.

I have never had a warranty claim and we have a 100% success rate with no failiers of any customer motor ever so its never been an issue.

If we supply a bottom end or a motor we really have no control over how it could be installed, setup, tuned or driven/treated so there are too many variables to be able to say you have a warranty as such but I will stand behind my workmanship no problem at all.

I'm happy to help within reason if a customer buys a bottom end only.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
