To the SAU group of members,

I would just like to say it has been a fantastic 3-4 years contributing to this excellent site. I have met and made friends with many on the site in and around Brisbane. SAU has got to be the most respectable and largest forum that I know, where there is a large wealth of information ready at your finger tips.

It is time for me to depart from the forums for a little while, maybe a couple of years. I recently sold the R32, the second one I owned, and now have moved on into the rotary world.

May you all enjoy your rides and keep developing this site more on top of what it already is.

Peace and farewell,

00MFG (Arbess)

Which chook cooker did you go for mate.........I like the Series 4 RX7's (shape) although the interiors look real oldschool

You know you will be back...........It will go well for a while and then blow up. Then you will miss the reliability of your old 32 :D

Good luck mate :D , we will be here when you come back.........

LOL @ your replies.... your supposed to wish me well.

But yes there will be a time where I will consider the RB's again. Though when people say reliability of the RB's, I would agree but only to the extent of the engine itself, the remaining car itself can be questionable.

Yes I am in an RX-8 and wait for it................................................ warrranty........................................... cheap insurance.................................... and lots of head turns for the possies out there.

I will try and head out to events as the rx8 club seems a little "inactive" and the boostcrusing club are a bunch of "[insert imaginative word here]".

Look out for me if and when I come back because it will NOT be in a 32 or 33, nor will I be in single turbo set up, as per usual.

My departing quote is "With great power comes great brakes" - Superman with boost.

RX8 mmmmmmm is it pink or yellow and have you put the frangapani on the back lol............. :)

Very nice car but yes I agree underpowered.......Pity they didn't boost it like the last one.....a factory turbo version would have sold well

Apparently they do handle very well judging by the reviews I have read about them over the years.......

    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
    • Might as well pop in some cams, head gasket, head studs, and a flex sensor. Full send.
