yep o/s s/s valves port job from one of the best pro head porters (the phantom) matching manifold. cam gears, valve springs i have cams i have 256/264

it will be for drag and every day with water meth

and

75 hot nos for the same reason but not on the street.........maybe

headjob for the win

id be looking at what i want the power for

do you want that extra burst of power to try and break into the 10s at the track---nawz

or do you want less power but have it all day every day---head work

yer i was hoping for more than 20 votes

heads good but 6 week wait nos 1 day

Go the nitrous or do both. I still want to do the nitrous but im worried the motor won't last long and i can't afford a rebuild until i finish uni. I have the nitrous bottle in my garage lol.

You said the price is only $200 difference, how so? The NOS wet kit i want is only $700-$900 for the kit depending where you buy from. What kit you looking at?

nos kit installed and dyno tuned so i get the best out of it ill pm you the price

Hmmm the kit i was looking was the NOS05130 kit, you can see it on this site http://www.bottleorboost.com.au/FORMgallery.htm

Then a purge system, bottle warmer and a electronic bottle opener if you wanted aswell.

I suppose with installation (I was going to do it myself) and dyno tuning it would come to the price you said.

what to do this is the thing

see i know ill use it on the street and the water meth came to day as well from the states with progressive spray.

If i was in your position and had a built engine, i wouldn't think twice and just go the nitrous.

Which water-meth kit did you go? I'm still looking into it myself. Trying to make the kit look nice and neet under the bonnet is the hardest thing, the pumps are so huge! My mate wants to put one on his 30/25 once it's on the road, so i'll see how that goes.

Those nitrous kits can be hidden very well with a couple of tricks and a cop wouldn't look twice if you hide it right.

very true

i like this one

ZEX SINGLE FOGGER EFI WET KIT

100hp shot of gas. Lenghten the lines between the solinoids to the fogger for a "softer" hit. Make shure your fuel pump can flow enough fuel for the extra 100hp.

More power

Cooler intake charges

No waiting to get your head back and get the car on the road

Faster spool up

Upgradable system, for future power gains/reliability

Paint the bottle yellow and tell the cops it's a fire suppression system??? ha ha ha

Like any power adder, as long as you tune it right your motor should live a long happy N20 life. I raced for two seasons with N20 on a 400rwkw 15yo 26 without a hiccup.

I love gas!

    • Morning all, I have an RB25DET Neo that's in need of a rebuild. Will need new pistons etc due to detonation damage. Would anyone be able to recommend a shop in Southeast Queensland who I could bring my long motor to for a rebuild? Just want someone who knows RBs and whos built a bunch of them before. TLDR - recommended engine shops for RB rebuild.
    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -  
    • Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
    • Hi, Will the R33 GTR rear brake backing plates fit a GTST? I'm struggling to find GTST ones but can find new GTR ones.   Thanks.
    • I also got the same floor mats for a bit of extra bazzaz haha
