Ever come across some car on the net that made you uncontrollably giggle like a little school girl...?

I had that experience tonight at work. Was surfing along, quiet as at work... then BAM!w00t.gif

Rocky Auto S30 with dry carbon panels, a RB30D (yep, 3 litre, with a RB26 head, and 3 duel throat CARBS!)

Now, I've seen Rocky auto stuff featured before, but it hasn't done much for me in the past. Anyways, the car is currently FOR SALE for about 13 million JPY. So if any of you buggers picked up the new years lottery... buy this...NOW!thumbsup.gif

I mean, having to wait for one or two sets of lights.

Blows my commute out from 40 mins to 50 mins. Total bollocks.

Thats completely unreasonable. Id be writing letters if I were you.

Rush hour in Adelaide...

1000km run-in service & dynotune on Friday.

Forged bottom end, ported head with Tomei cams, gt3076 highflow, S15 450cc injectors, chipped ecu + tuneable piggyback ---- what boost should I have it tuned to?

I believe the ATS Gt3076iw BB turbo losses efficiency around 21psi.

I'm thinking 18psi should be fine, allowing spikes to 20psi (if that happens).

Don't want to stress the engine tooooo much; might just settle for between 1.25-1.33bar I guess.

Ideally the tuner will just keep ramping it up until there is no return for the extra boost and then set it at the figure thats still giving benefit. Hope you get to keep the car although to be honest they are not cheap to run - I am spending $100 - $120 a week on petrol alone!

True. To keep costs down im thinking tho im best to say X-psi tune thanks. Yeh stuff it, I'll tell them tune between 1.25 & 1.3bar thanks very much, and go from there.

Most likely keeping it, biggest (only) worry is "suspicion of defect" by an over zealous Officer in which case id be reamed big time as I have stuff all stock parts & can't deal with the hassle of inspections while at Uni, associated costs, etc. Only been pulled over once in my ownership for a RBT but admittedly its on my mind a fair bit..... Just the What-If factor.

Dunno what system you have in your state but in NZ there is a Low Volume Vehicle Certificate with an inspection carried out by licensed inspectors (not the police). I just have to get driveshaft loops and then an inspection which costs $400 -$600 and then a certificate stating that all my mods are safe i.e. that the braking and suspension are suitable for (more than) the doubling of stock power, that the seats are properly secured in short that all non oem stuff is fit for the pupose. You also get a plate to go on the bulkhead and then just have to point out the plate and if necessary pull out the certificate if you ever get stopped by the cops.

Yep, we dont have anything like that. If the police pull you over they can send you to be inspected for suspicion of having modified the vehicle even if they know nothing. Read countless stories on SAU about guys having cops point out "Turbo timers" in their engine bays which are actually alarms, etc etc.

    • Seems to be the case mate , still an OK price for a grey import.
    • I’m interested in the carbon diffuser fins and Toshiba MFD screen replacement if they’re still available.
    • @GTSBoy yeah i know it was not the "great" idea but it is and option...but i think i will stay on no BoV rather then trying to make it work with "half" this and that. But that GReddy FV2 is cool...i like that you can make it like stock if you want (and have/make the custom pipes) For other thanks! it was alot of information. But for the sound...a dont rly "like" both of them...specialy if they are loud...but if i "must" choose i would rather have little whooosh rather than sutututu with no BoV....BUT that is what is i gonna get. So for the all info i gather. In my case:  No BoV is not that bad cuz it is stock...and iam used to put N/clutch right after rpms are around 1000 so it should be ok...just need to avoid "big" drops. But i do not have the engine in the car so i do not really know how "bad" or good it is. But as i had that little test drive it looked ok. The atmo BoV should be worse car would dump to much fuel specialy between the shifts...so without proper tune/ECU i dont want that. BUT with that...car should drive ok with no problems right? (i do like there is less piping wih this solution) 🙂 
    • Usually an RB20 won't stay in closed loop idle anyway. The O2 sensor gets too cold, stops swinging.
    • They aren't, but it depends on what interests you about an R32-R34. If it's the front engine I6 turbo that tunes well with a manual transmission an E92 335i 6MT is so incredibly cheap. You can get a super clean one for 20-25k USD tops. Put an LSD in it, tune it, have fun with it. If it's the general idea of AWD + turbo and a manual transmission the 996 Turbo is absolutely much more expensive, it's less practical but it's also basically a complete track-ready car from the factory. At least the Mezger doesn't have heaps of oil control issues. And in the US the 996 Turbo and R33 GTR are roughly the same price these days. 996 maybe a bit more now that the hype has abated for old Skylines here.
