Bought the ceffy bout 8 months ago for a decent price just something to drive to work and back in. Then my partner bought a new mazda 3 and I aquired her lancer.. So we took the car back to Hervey Bay (thats where im from) and it sat in the shed and ran out of rego. Though to myself in this time I could put a car together and still be able to get to work and back. So the old rb25 came out of the ceffy and the 26/30 built started. Picked up a rebuilt rb30 off a mate here in brissy and then it all started. Sourced a rb26 head had it reco'd, light port and a set of tomei 270deg 10.25mm lift cams and tomei buckets/springs fitted also went for a single throttle setup for something different. Looking for a streeter to make 450-500rwhp all day every day.

So the things Ive collected on the way are:

Jun plennum

90mm throttle body

hks fuel rail

sard 800cc injectors

sard fpr

dash fittings

2 x 975 external pumps

haltech e11v2 patch loom and 3bar map sensor

crap load of dash fittings and braided line etc

Pulled the rb30 bottem end apart and found that it had been reco'd maybe 100km ago and is in very good condition.

ACL pistons

ACL bearings

Ballanced Rods/crank

Need to fit new water pump and a possible nitto oil pump/crank collar. Also looking for the turbo side of things at the moment maybe a 6boost manifold and a gt3540 or maybe T04z something along those lines as the power output is at the lower end of the scales and I want it to be a street car with decent response.

Got stuck into the engine bay with a mate thanks Keiron aka (Gtir-keiron) got it prepped and paintedd blue with green zerelick. Put it back together the next day.

so it started out like this:

So hopefully we will get the wiring loom run and the computer in the car aslo still have to tap the block for the second tentioner and fit the head to the block, fingers crossed it'll be done this weekend ;).

thanks man should be interesting pretty much got eveything now so just gotta bolt it together and tune it fingers crossed itll be finshed very soon. It a bit hard when you live in brissy and the car is 3hours away :P

No worries man I'll get picks up asap, missed out on going home this weekend got called into work. Next weekend should see the wiring loom, engine in and turbo on and lines finished off! Not long now.

yeah will be cept ive been ripped off on my manifold and gate as ive bought one from a forum member and have been done $900 as its been over 2 weeks since ive paid for it and still havent recieved he also screwed over someone else on here too..

To be honest ant and i had the engine bay stripped down and painted in about 5 to 6 hours.

Motor already out of the car helped alot.Ant is really good with strip down work as he has pulled so many cars apart and put them back together again.

Wow anthony you got ripped off by a forum member dude? Name and shame time really mate and im sorry to hear about that.

I hope he comes clean and sends you the items mate really.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
