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.

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

      I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

      Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...

      But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.

      That could easily make a horrible noise. +1 to the benefits of: a) Disclosing all relevant information when asking questions such as these, b) Actually going out and having a look at your own car, seeing as you're the one there, and we're not!
