S**t Marko... don't tell me you are one of those blokes that says, "should have never sold it".

i am 1 of those blokes, i was the 3rd owner. my mate had it for 6yrs.

had 80,000 genuine kms (aussie log books & service history)!

but then i twinkled with the engine lol, forged bottom end, hks gtrs turbos, cams, clutch etc etc etc & it made 365awkw.

its like having a genuine ford falcon gt then pulling out the engine & making it into a monster - nothing beats factory condition for enthusiasts & resale

what i can say though is that the silver gtr paid for my house deposit, sold it for 40k about 4-5yrs ago (im still in touch with the new owner, just in case :P)

Smart thinking... (and smart thinking :))

i finally picked my replacement gtr :)

this is my black gtr with the rb26/30:

here is my new toy:

i kinda miss the rb26, it has a much more pitch sound BUT doesn't have the same brute power of the rb26/30

this red gtr has a forged engine with -5s & drives very well, 333awkw on crd's dyno @ a lazy 19psi :)

marko, what do you think those -5,s would be like on your 26/30 .......

hmmm - would be very aggressive & punchy in bottom end area but im not sure about what top end they would support?

i know of a few guys on gtr uk who have cracked over 400kw with -5s

me personally, i'd rather -10s on a 26/30 as i do like top end rush

i'd say for the circuit though the -5s would be a deadly package (im sure stevo 'n1gtr' was talking about -5s for a long time but not sure whether he followed through)

uuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm tempted. i know what you mean top end etc. here,s mine on track, would you say this is similar in pick up to yours now?.

i find this set up a little laggy on tight tracks

the silver r34gtt in front runs a to4z around 670@the flyand an rb30 with a 25 head

check out the videos on youtube of the high octane R34. it has -5 turbos and a 26/30. it also has different diff gears and other bits and pieces to help though so its not entirely an apples to apples comparison.

hi mate, yes seen mark berry,s car superb, but not a real comparison, i know simonster on here was going twins but thats not happened yet,i am dying to hear from anyone running either 2860-5,s or disco potatoes on a 26/30 set up. i know i will be dropping power for responce but on track i believe the car will be faster if that makes sence..lol

your car sounds awesome - reminds me of my 26/30 :)

in terms of pickup, hard to gauge really...are u asking if your setup is similar to my rb26/30 with -10s OR rb26 with -5s?

i actually think that maybe my rb26/30 with -10s has less lag than my rb26 with -5s?

So what are the future plans for this one marko ?...i like the LMGT2's on there,you dont see them too much anymore.

not sure yet but i'd say i'll drop the 26/30 in the red gtr - ive spent way too much time & effort on this with the build, hardware, busting crd's balls & rob @ rips lol

btw - the wheels are lm gt1's :)

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
