That DR is for sale.

Ben Ellis had it at the IDA drift day at Oran Park in Feb this year.

You have the best CAM maker in the country up there near you, Tighe Engineering, they made my n/a cams, brand new, just needed my stock cams for samples to cast the billet blank.

Cheers,

do you mean as in ivan tighe?

Sure do!!!

He made our RB26/30DE hybrid cams.

The wildest duration, over 350 degrees each for the princely sum of $840.00 pair.

When searching around, HKS, Trust, Tomei etc were all that much & more EACH and could/would not supply bigger than 284's.

damn thats crazy!

i've driven a r31 gts-x with the nics red top and there was nothing there to make me smile in my eyes my rb30e goes harder, from memory the nics red top was only 20hp more than the l20et, to its defence though it was the very next 6cyl engine nissan produced after the l20et, silver top has 205hp at the fly same as the intercooled fj20, produces around 15 more Nm at 6500rpm and with around $2500 in mods should produce around 160rwkws, rb25 turbo and remap 180-200wrkw, vg30 turbo and remap of stock ECU 200-220rwkw...parts and upgrades are at your fingertips from a range of places!! my two cents...

Was it an auto GTS-X by chance? The NICS RB has 180hp if I recall rightly,and the L20et had 145hp? Auto kills the NICS,but 5spd isn't much better. You must have had a freaky RB30E if it went better than a manual RB20DET! I've owned both,and know what I'd prefer.Not that I particually like RB20DET's either........

once the turbo runs at full rpm (silver top makes full power at 6500 engine rpm)its not going to produce more power so the only way to go faster would be to change gear

Yes,I am aware of that :D I was commenting on their ability to rev more than 5k.

No thanks, Butchery is not my stock & trade.

I meant with the proper machinery, ie a lathe, hence its not butchery but a modification....if you arent into modification, why are you messing with adj cam gears?

no offence

A GTS2 RB30E is good for 145Kw at the fly.

i think it was just a sh%t example of a gts-x :D

Hey Guys!! Got my clutch and all that in now, she's sweet as!! Ran my water lines to my turbo, thats sweet as as well just need my hose clamps for the oil return line and the turbz is finished!! Then i need to find my panels :bs!: and its almost ready to go!!

As a quick question, what do u rekon a stock DR30 Fj20 exhaust manifold is worth selling for???

hmm my mate has a gts-x, its got a deep dark secret under the bonnet though!!!

silver top rb20det eccs, with nics finned red rocker covers!! highflow turbo, fmic, mines ecu

the bloody TPS has shat itself though.

that car does sound amazing even with a stock zorst, incredible spool noise. catches many unaware

meet a guy at the last massive skyline cruize here on the coast with a gts-x that had a rb25det under the bonnet.. now thats a kicker!!

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
