Marko we all know the reason you don't like rb30s is it had to much low down torque and you looped it and smacked a wall

We ALL know? You are a champion lol and I must say, thank you for sharing that - 10 points to the man with the microphone! Besides, I wouldn't go shooting off remarks like that unless you understood the root cause and in fact why the rear tyre peeled off the rim.

Your comment has no validation to capacity what so ever.

I had the opportunity to keep my rb30 and decided not to which clearly demonstrates that I prefer an rb26 and subsequently have my old car back...I've been there and done that, I've had my fair share of clapped out imports and now have my aust gtr :)

Tyres don't just peel off, I'm sure you know that, the force required to unbead the tyre from the rim is quite substantial and could only be caused by the rim/tyre impacting the gutter or pot hole from hell

I have seen tyres go flat and people drive on them until the side wall separated from the actuall tyre, but the bead was still attached to the rim.

As for capacity, on the street the rb30 would always be the best choice. cause I like drive up a hill with my a/c going and not have to change from 4th to second to get up there

How can u draw a conclusion when u don't know the sequence of events? This is way off topic and again simon, I apologise.

Sorry if I have been abrupt but I shouldn't even have to apologise on this front...

Rb30 is an awesome engine, so is the rb26

How in the world did we go from tyres issues to aircon. WTF?? :pirate:

So back to my build thread rather than chat thread. I don't at all mind the banter thats been going on in this thread for the last 2 weeks or so, as long as its helpful.

I hope to twist my other tuners arm this week and get the GTR on the dyno to see what he thinks is going on....

Just read the thread, I see this finished mid 2011, does it still stand true that the 26 is better on the track than the RB30, the Nitto 3.2 strokers rev to 10,000 and do not seem to drop off after 7000rpm and continue to go hard to the limiter??

Maybe I misunderstood ?

No its not true that 26s are better on the track. It is true that there have been a few more highly developed RB30 32 and 34s built in the last few years and they can indeed rev to 10k but at the end of the day , when all's said and done etc etc the fastest car on the track will be the best built best driven car and the capacity will just be a factor, not the deciding factor.

Yeah, after reading a lot of builds it seems the strokers are starting to be developed to rev higher as well as having the low/mid grunt.

Seems the Nitto 3.2Lt seems to be a well made unit and can handle a heap of HP while revving to 10,000+

I am building a Nitto 3.2 but as a DD and probably limited to 8000rpm ish depending how it all works in together.

You will be aware that RIPS put a 3.2 (pretty sure it was a Nitto) in a Stagea and made 1000kw...

Rips have put them in a few Rs, MGAWOT 1 & 11 and @ 1500HP, they seem to do some amazing things. Nitto in QLD goes hard @1000HP+ :) CRD has done some quick Rs

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
