Blue us RB30 orange is rb25. full comparison and nothing else has changed except the bottom end.

turbo is 3076 56t with 0.63 rear... falls over pretty hard and adding more boost doesnt increase it.. so rear is a restriction thats for sure. Need a .82 rear for it.

didnt have any issues with the car apart from oil pissing out the catch can due to the sump being 2L overfull... after spewing oil out several times and filling the can its finally reached a happy level where it wont do it any more haha. still a fair bit above the H mark too. i now have a massive mess in the engine bay which i need to clean confused.gif

in terms of power and performance... wow.. its like night and day. can leave it in 3rd in the esses, even if following someone and you have to adjust your line in the entry to a slower one you can back off.. get back on the throttle and it just spools straight away haha. exiting the esses you can shift straight to 4th and it pulls HARD up the straight and just bakes 1 and 2 in 4th. loves it!

have a slight oil pressure related issue... not sure whats going on. have a read here if you care http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/405788-oil-pressure-dropping-when-no-load-on-engine/page__fromsearch__1

all in all... decent shake down. plenty of grip with the rear DW knuckles in now.. not a fan of the front DW knuckles. i wouldnt recommend them to anyone thats for sure. as a drop spindle they are wicked but for big lock with no bind... nope they dont tick that box. I will be cutting and shutting (in a not so dodgy way) and repositioning the tie rod mount on the knuckle so its more in line with my modified knuckles that i do. It should be easy enough to do due to the construction of the DW knuckle as its just made out of welded plate steel. I wont do it before WTAC as theres to much to do and EC isnt a big angle entry track anyway so worry bout it when i get back.

good results

would have expected more kw power with the extra capacity and higher comp ratio

seeing that camshafts alter power band, no chance that changing shafts to suit the 30 while keeping the 0.62 rear would increase power with more psi ?

just a thought

  • 2 weeks later...

WTAC run and done.. just got back 3am this morning so im running low on energy.

full write up coming soon.

25 dollar bottom end loved life. smashed limiter and shredded tyres. Missed out on top 16 battles but won the bottom 16 battles beating the NZ guy who won it last year so reasonable effort!

car's a bit smashed up.. quick vid here

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
