A Boy's Love For His Rb20

[Roy]

I am waiting to see what tax man has in store for me this year after years of being severelly anally raped by him. I would like to make the most of the next few track days with the RB20 making the power it is so will hold off until i have some AO50s. That was if the engine pops then I at least had a chance of getting the most out of the setup with a std RB20...as the next step will be stroked goodness with billet bits, multi throttle inlet and 6 speed

Haha I quickly did my tax yesterday... $1.73 credit, was raging hard.

[Roy]

Well I got done for a scary amount of money due to tax law changes whilst I was working OS. That burn meant I couldn't buy an R31 GTS-R that I am pining for

[slidin32]

sorry if this has already been covered but that long silver plate between the two id plates...... that not ment to be there??? have you removed it to see if the number underneath matches up?

[Roy]

There is no number underneath. I cant even remember what is on the plate?!?!

[tweety bird]

It still has a 20G on it at the moment but have a billet TD06L2 to try when I can get around to installing it and the tuner is a little bit quieter. Racepace are pretty busy with preparing some World Time Attack entered cars so don't want to bother him with tuning my thing until he has had a breather

so how's this going?

ps happy birthday for last week.

[Roy]

Nothing is going for the lil R32 at the moment. A hose under the inlet manifold let go in traffic and I cooked the engine Damn peak hour traffic and a55holes who think you are just lane hopping and not trying to pull off main road to save killing an engine

So its got a leak head gasket in No.3 or 4...cant remember which cylinder came up as the problem. Still making good power and still driving it daily...its just that it is pressuring the coolant system and missing pretty bad at idle. New engine will heopfully be in around Aus day after engine bay is sprayed and then throwing the 10cm housing on the thing, with Tomei 256 cams and back to back the billet 73HTA and Greddy 20G. Other delay was the R34 6spd that I had stripped for refresh before putting in came back needing a few too many little bits to be like new so going with the trusty R33 5 spd I hae had for years as back. up. Mega gutted that the 6 spd didnt work out...

And thanks...I feel 6 years older, not just one

bad luck with the engine roy, will you be going rb20det, rb20de or maybe a rb20de neo?

[Roy]

All used bits I have grabbed off yahoo...kinder surprise engine bolted together by Barney Rubble

[tweety bird]

so you'll be building it yourself then?

[Roy]

Well after abusy few months with a new job/project and slowly re-wiring the Sierra and rebuilding its engine...I put it aside to do a few weeks of rather intense work on teh old R32. Its now just about ready for a full years of track duties.

So did some re-wiring. Re-sprayed the engine bay....did a load of other minor tweaks...and then put the 20G backl on for the first round of back to back tests provided the new engine isnt a shitter and craps itself on run in

The new heart

Re-sprayed and DEI'd up engine bay

[paulR32gtr]

Top effort ya nutter its looking awesome. I've finally met someone that does more insane hours than me you've done well to get it to this point in the time you gave yourself.

See you at the airport!

[Roy]

I I am at work today but its a waste of time...my brain is already in Paris drinking cans and hitting on French girls with hairy armpits
