ha yeah the ol' donkey punch, not for the faint hearted aye :D

i think (when i rob the local bank :banana: ) will go 26, want the car to remain standard(ish)...... ive got no gauges, not lowered, no aftermarket spoilers, the car has LMGT4's and looks like it came out of the factory. i was even gutted when my mechanic said i needed a FMIC and an aftermarket BOV.

i kinda like the idea that one day my car might be a classic, alot of my friends have modifyed their cars so much that it would take the purchase price of the car to get them back to standard. hey my car would look better lowered, but compared with my mates supra with his entire aftermarket spoiler kit cracking and falling of because its so low and the adjustables are so hard its like hitting the car with a slege hammer everytime he hits a bump, ill think ill stick wih the dirty ol' engine she was made to run with and hopefully may hold its value a bit.

but hey it sounds like the 30 is the way to go for power/torque, and well, everything else!

as of today, ive taken the plunge & picked up my block, pistons, rods etc for my rb30dett build (after 4months of decision making on which way to go)

i just cant go past the results RIPS have attained with their rb30's over the years - i always want more power :banana:

besides, if keir wilsons well respected gtr is good enough for an rb30 then so is my gtr

keir wisons cars run the ol OS GIKEN RB30.. Its a bit different to the rb30 found in the vl/r31.. Plus they're 20k for a bottom end, makes r.i.p.s prices look like a steal!

I think you made the right choice :(

hahaha yeah i run the 2.. cant go past them. no surge at all. evan 1 worked better than 2 hks ssq ones..

sweet, so you think def go back to 2 standard BOV'S? i think i have 1 HKS plumback, bin it?

  • 2 weeks later...
RB30 gives RB26 a 4 second head start and goes for it for under half of the dragstrip and the RB26 won = RB30 gave RB26 a little too much of a headstart?

you snooze you loose!

RB26 cuts a 0.05 light...RB30 cuts a 1.02 light...race is won at the tree.

RB26 wins by an 8th of a mile. :sweat:

NOTE: the RB26 was street driven to the race meeting.

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
