Mines just a dead RB30E ATM... Gotta start somewhere tho :)

I think Trina is gunna flip at "another" car bit as it is... So, your out of luck sorry Pred :D

Now I have to read that long arse RB30DET thread... And start to choose pistons, rods, etc...

*sigh*

rb30det is the way to go if you want a lot of power..

yeah, read through most of that several times :) i really have to work out how much its gonig to cost me, and what else i might need to spend money on.

So will be at least 6 months before i really think about mine. I asked around a bit and would probably cost at least $5k or so, depending on whether you go forged rods, etc.. And thats just the bottom.. never mind turbo, installation (assume you're doing that yourself :D ).. etc.

hehe - really only joking about the storage.. this is why the places i have been looking at renting *must* have a garage.. for all my car crap (and cars)..lol

Mmmm... Just started reading it... Looks like standard rods and crank are good for 350rwkw...

This is getting cheaper by the hour!

yeah.. just get em prepped :D In fact the whole bottom end is probably good for around 250rwkw or maybe more as they have cast pistons.. as my engine was just removed for a conversion and is still pretty fresh - i was even thinking of just dumping the head on, getting it all fitted up and just running it for a while like that.. if something breaks just has to come out and get built properly :)

Nah my 30 has got low comp as it is... So, I'm gunna take my time, and make it STRONG...

RB30's suck. Haven't seen a good one yet. Even John Munro's OS 3ltr was a waste of money, just ask him

look at the australian street car drag list though.. and some of them are even SOHC.. mattlow has/had ? a 11sec gts-t in melb using a 3L bottom end..

There are a lot of shitty engine builders out there though.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
