SIT REP.

Well, like it or not we all know, and have to abide by the basic laws of physics. What goes up, must come down. Gravity is a constant. And every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

Likewise we all have to abide by the basic rules of tuning when it comes to our cars. At the forefront of these is Newton's third law, 'red goes faster.'

So if we apply 'red goes faster' with 'every action has an equal and opposite reaction,' then we can hypothesis that 'red stops faster.' And thus we widen to reveal two R33 gts-t front callipers with all new seals and a fresh coat of stop fast red.

As far as other interesting things we've been working on, well there just isn't all that much that's actually interesting. We pulled the rear callipers off to re condition those as well, and thought whilst we were at it we'd get some braided rear line too. However in trying to undo the brake line all I managed to do was round the nut off. It was a proper round too, destroyed, and I was even using the correct sized flare nut spanner too. Oh well, win some lose some. So we took all the solid line off right back to tee piece and flexi line that goes from the diff to the floor pan, got some braided line being made up for that section too whilst we're at it.

So still waiting on a few more front end bits, mainly front rotors and front braided line and we'll have a moving vehicle again. Super keen to take it down to Winton with all the suspension and brakes done, but with the NA RB30 auto. I envisage giggles to be had by all.

G'Day lads and lassies,

Just a quick one today to announce that my time in the Capital has come to an end. I've finally manage to crawl out the shift work mine shaft and have landed a nice new day job back home in Albury.

I'd like to thank everyone who has helped me out over the years here in Canberra and it was a pleasure to meet all of you.

I'll still be trawling around the forums and I'm sure I'll be back for an event or two as well. I'll keep updating the progress on the 31 and hopefully now that I'll be living in the same state as the car some real work will start to get done.

Until next time,

I'm out,

RobMz

    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
    • Echo the awesome sentiment 👍 Definitely a car worth saving. Looking forward to seeing updates as well.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
