This car is still 'in-the-build' but will be fully running for Powerplay next weekend.

He actually purchased the PAR gearbox off me, I had it behind one of my cars (my 535rwhp R32) and it was awesome!! I'm sure Jay will love it (especially the noise!)

[N1GTR]

Yeah straight cut gears sound crazy haha

[zebra]

Im keen to see how you go about the 2630 As im doing the same in a couple of months.

[GOT04]

thread is approved!!!!

the engine was just being finished being put together this afternoon by the boys at Mercury Motorsport and its being put into the car with the PAR gearbox tonight.

here is some info on the engine

Engine– MERCURY MOTORSPORT'S CUSTOM DESIGN RB26/30

RB30/26 "3064cc"

Nitto oil pump

Custom crank girdle

Chromemoly main caps

CP Pistons

here are some of the engine components and assembly photos.

If your wondering what the hell the 1st photo is the custom crank girdle, it ties in with the chromemoly main caps. Its purpose is to keep the engine tied all together and to stay true at high rpm and horse power.

And the last photo is of the chromemoly main caps that tie in with the custom crank girdle!

sorry mate, i was just planning to do a post a day up in each area on the car with clear photos, so its easy to follow the build. As there is a fair bit going into it.

tomorrow ill post photos of the engine with all the bolt ons on.

but feel free to PM me or missr32 for any info if your really curious.

keen to hear about how good the gearbox is because everyone seems to bad mouth the PAR sets

To be fair, comments like that are why there's a bit of doubt about them

The SR guys have the issues, but they've been swapping to rb25 boxes as the SR boxes just aren't as strong

oh no...white silastic?

WOH, that will be a pretty big powered rwd Skyline. Interested to see how it goes!

I know! But, this box was behind my 535rwhp RB25 and it was fine. It's had a few hard launches at Willowbank as well and never missed a beat, always shifted smoothly. For me, it was fantastic.

In saying that I've also had a PPG dogbox behind my 25 as well - it was awesome (clutchless shifts ftw!) but was a bitch to drive on the streets. As the PAR box was synchro'd with a shortshift kit, I still had to use the clutch so the gearchanges weren't as quick as the PPG but it's such a smooth box and so nice to use on the street.

PPG's are only quick to shift if they are built right...lol

i didnt ever think pillow ball top mounts worked on the 33's? thought we needed full seperate adjustable control arms? correct me if im wrong.

Very build otherwise mate

[GOT04]

The engines bolt on's are just as important to match together to work properly as the engine so to achieve my desired response with power i went with

GCG TO4r

6 Boost manifold

50mm Turbosmart Wastegate

Custom 4 inch dump pipe

Hypertune plenum

90mm throttle body

here are some photos

Haha! Yes, Twooges

[GOT04]

The boys at Mercury Motorsport decided that my hks intercooler is to small so they found me a big ARE intercooler to put on instead.
