I bought them as i was curious to see if the KTS 6 pots whcih are a Endless knock off are any good. They seem reasonable, well. I am told, as they were delivered to a friend who had a look at them as i am still OS. Told that they look to be on par with the K-Sport gear, are not curved vane rotors. Was going to give them a try, but from what i am hearing i am better of stickign with my original plan of using my 6 pot Alcons :)

Cheap as in, what they cost me which is about what you pay for R33 GTR Brembos :) I think they are the same as what Boxhead runs on his white S14. Not sure they are any better then Nissan Brembos on a 324mm rotor, but they do work out cheaper.

All of the above screams of trying too hard.

Just brake later, turn in harder.

How many rb20 boxes you blown now? :)

I'd only be temped to a good box if it was reeeeel cheap, and i was blowing std boxes left right and centre. As long as I remember Roys anal anaegy i think i'll be right

You need to use the funky chicken dance backwards hand grip like Roy and im sure you will be fine with Boxes

Its all in the reach around. I want a cool kids ghearbox as it will make me feel like a driving god. Who gives a shit abotu how quick you are going. Sure its nice to go quick, but in my eyes my car rocks as it feels like you are going fast, so good enough is close enough to actually going fast. The gearbox will just improve the show...also good practice on how to drive a car with a proper box :)

Look elsewhere, you can get RB20 syncro sets from ~$3400 and dog set for about $5000

oh what, i already ordered 5 sets then and there at the ppg tent :) . I can see why he was so lonly at his tent after hearing his prices

so there are people that make rb20 sets?

Precisely three.

In over 5,000klm of competetive kilometres.

At a few hundred bucks a pop.

I think the sums work out :)

Albins do an RB20 box for about $5.5k

PAR do for $4.6K +gst (about $5K) dunno about Albins, but PAR give you a bunch of options.

Marcus just put a PAR 1st~5th Dog set in the sprinter and im quite amazed, Good value for money.

Thanks mate ill keep them in mind :(

gotta sort out some decent supension and brakes as Im trying to get the car ready for Next years Superlap (see I kept on topic lol)

Aww but who will be my start/finish!!! lol Good stuff Andrew!!

:)

You could buy a 2nd hand hollinger for that much

Pfft if you can find one...

P.s I m looking for if anyone knows where one is! Contact me please :)

the r32 was great fun to drive, i must admit i kept baulking myself with the recent brake issues i have had and the nice big hit at the creek afew weeks ago.

the holinger is superb!! , i borrowed suspension on thursday from beer baron as we didnt have time to revalve and respring the ohlins in the car. ( thanks again mate)

they were much better but with some much grip the sping needed to be nearly doubled. alsoa big thanks to John Pelington for letting us use his shop to rebuild the engine and change it over!

congratulations to all the competitors for some awsome driving and some beautifully presented cars, some of the times are a real credit to the drivers. ( also not many big issues for the speeds etc)

    • Decided to upgrade my pressurised plastic coolant expansion tank for a fancy pants alloy version The OEM versions can get brittle, even the new plastic one I got when I first got the car is a starting to show signs of "stress" I wasn't cheap, but it is basically unbreakable
    • Morning all, I have an RB25DET Neo that's in need of a rebuild. Will need new pistons etc due to detonation damage. Would anyone be able to recommend a shop in Southeast Queensland who I could bring my long motor to for a rebuild? Just want someone who knows RBs and whos built a bunch of them before. TLDR - recommended engine shops for RB rebuild.
    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -  
    • Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
    • Hi, Will the R33 GTR rear brake backing plates fit a GTST? I'm struggling to find GTST ones but can find new GTR ones.   Thanks.
