rips,

i see. so having the girdle braced to the shithouse lets it rev more easily? please.. i know it will make it more reliable or what i think is good insurance..

if an engine crank moves around that much evan though its fully balanced?

not having a stab, but i think some peole may be mislead into believing there is no way a rb30 can do 9k without said girdle.. i mean there is nothing wrong with the cast iron stocker.

and regarding the oil pump issue, perhaps i have seen to many rev limmiter dammaged pumps that have swayed me into thinking they will fail. or if not but when.

i take it you have a race only balancer setup and a very soft (good) rev limiter?

Shanef, (with tounge in cheek) I'm so glad you know all about my products, what they can do and what they can't what they include and what they dont and what works with what and what doesn't, saves me alot of time, incredible :D (couldn't find sarcastic face, lol)

IMO the sump bolts play a key part in holding the whole deal together, you wouldn't be happy to let the sealer dry then pull out the bolts would you?

If you can spread load in any direction and minimise it at any point it has to be an advantage and the sump bolts are definatly to be counted as an integral part of the bottom end.

Sorry rob while u were busy working i was just sitting on my bum on the computer as only a good aussie does so i thought i'd reply on your behalf.

Pass that sarcastic face please :)

Re the sealer drying 'issue', i'm half looking into getting gaskets cut to make that process alot easier. Then thatd also give a consistant thickness so it wouldnt affect the clearances with the aftermarket girdles. Have u thought about doing something like that too?

I'll put that idea into the adapter plate thread so it can be discussed there too

how long does it take you to assemble one of these bottom ends?

hows availability? how would i contact you buddy as im quite serious about a rb30 in my hopefully new r34 gtr.

my current r34 gtt is just to much wheelspin with the rb30 =[

Ill take some shots this weekend...ok

australians build some of the best gearboxes in the world...why is it so hard to believe they cannot do it with transmissions Robbie?

These guys engineer some of australia's best street and show cars so i don't at all question what they have achieved. Mick Stanic from Subzero also has done a T400 GTR box although ive not seen that one 1st hand.

Whatever happen o the picture?

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
