Hey guys,

hasn't been my week. went to a suspension place onsaturday and they told me that the rubbers on the ends of the swaybars are gone, so no biggy, get them replaced. then there was a crack in the castor rod, no probs get them replaced with a wheel alignment, now the whole thing feels tight with the new swaybars in place :rolleyes:. but I have had an electrical gremlin for a while so I left it at an electrician since monday morning. they think they have fixed the problem which makes my alarm go crazy and lose all power to everything in the car (no not the battery, that is only new). thought I might get the air confixed up while its there and they have had to retrofit it with the new gas because mine was R12. Thought that was weird cause mine is a 93 model, but oh well. called him up and now he said the air con is working intermittently, on 1 sec, off the next. so he is trying to work that out.

but also that before I took teh car down there, my bonnet catch bracket was a little rusty and has snapped, so I get my car back tommorow and it goes straight down to the smash repairer to get that fixed.

hope it goes well after this, I want to get my new brakes in the next few weeks which cost $1200 fitted with new pads and discs all round.

anyone else having a bad week?

      You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?

      Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership

      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.
