If memory serves me correctly, there was a blue Ti sedan in adelaide about 5 years ago, powered by a rb30et that was good for a high 11.

Car hasnt been seen in awhile

I reckon that would have been more like 2001 or so, before I even had my DR30 I used to see that thing getting round, till it got sold.

I know of a DR30 in the build that will be pushing the mid 300rwkw's I reckon or somewhere along those lines, with a forged FJ. But it probably wont be "fast" as such, we dont have a strip in adelaide so there is no point even putting effort towards that side of things

Break 11 seconds and you need to get an ANDRA license.

Break 10 seconds and you need the ANDRA license and parachute & full cage and A BLOODY LOT OF MONEY!

Ghost is right here but since he is already talking about tubs and power glide trans. i'm sure he'd know the costs involved...

best of luck with that ambitious time the matey, would love to see an R30 up there giving them hell at the pointy end of the stick.

hat's off if you get there

I don't know that what you have is enough?

I know of an KHR31 GTSX that's getting a twin turbo'd VH45 fitted to it. That's a 4.5L V8 all alloy Quad Cam 32V motor with twin turbo's and the engine weighs less than the original RB20DET.

If your planning to stay with your 6 cylinder, I would be doing the RB25/30DET conversion first & formost, before anything else and remember there is no substitute for cubic inches.

You might have a chance with 3.0L as the torque will be so much better as well.

Up against the VH45DETT I don't like your chances.

Hi thanks for the support. i am very aware of the cost involved with breaking into the 9s but since i havent seen too many r30s kicking around on the strip i figre why not!! was considering an rb30 bottom end with a 26 head but sinice i already have the 25 sitting there i might use that until its at its limits then build a new motor.

Cheers Alan

    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
    • Got you mate. Check your email!
    • I see you've never had to push start your own car... You could save some weight right now...
    • Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.
