They're that bad are they? I've heard good and bad about them, was thinking I'd try them out myself but seeing they're close, ah wells.

yes they are. Should of gone around the corner to Edwardstown custom body reapais or even more south to hounslow crash :ninja:

well your just silly then.

Why pay $30,000 for a parts kit that you can do in Australia for $50.

RIPS are pulling over 10,000 rpm on burn out and 1400HP on a standard RB30 block with standard crank and crank girdle.

ugh. gtr purists. im siding with dale. f**k spending $30k on some liners and a bolt on deck when i can jump on the club and find a 30e bottom end for less than $50.

and ive heard of quite a few of the os kits failing at life. id be pretty torn up about $30k going to waste, but i wouldnt give 2 shits about a 50 buck bottom end.

*just had a look at the kaki kit, seems waaaaay too cheap.

makes the perfectly nice car look a little cheapish and nasty / track hack job imo.

and i could 'almost dig it'. the splits a little off. if it was something like this,

itd be rad, and i actually would dig it.

Think I should of called before I went for a drive, went all the way to MC Doyles Crash Repairs and they were closed... as in like they didnt pay their bills and got shut down. Guess I'll have to take my business elsewhere...

that really isnt a bad thing.

that Kaki* kit is only sleeves and a block deck so no $1500 is not that cheap

Dan its about 450-600 to get an AWD adapter plate for the RB30 but a deck is a stronger better RTA friendly option you keep your original engine number

No pos RB30 bottom ends should be in a GT-R imo

:)

Dont get me wrong, I'm all for twin cam RB30's in VLT's, GTSTs, etc but not a GT-R... C'mon lol

Putting an rb26/30 in a gtr isnt a bad idea, if you use the car for performance or any kind of motorsport

keep the 26 stock tho if you want a streeter that'll hold its value - if I had two gtr's, I'd def put a 26/30 in the 2nd one

This is actually a blessing for you. PM me if you want further info but I wouldn't send my worst enemy there...

And I'm a big GTR fan but nothing wrong with a 26/30. Shit, I'd build one would it be not for the legality issues and all. Don't fancy ripping out a motor to visit Regency

with all this talk of rb30's, im feeling good, just a cam, turbo..and a manual conversion away!

Also, whoever owns a 100 series Landcruiser...you sir or madam, know how to select a good car!

Definatly the best 4x4 ive driven, and the easiest to work on. :)

would it really be noticeable to the untrained eye though? (having a 26/30)

Easily. The RB30 block causes the head to be situated very high compared to the stock 26, pm cubes and ask him about how much clearance he actually has (he reckons its not a lot)... cant run a strut brace with a 26/30 unfortunately

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
