thanks for all the ideas and advice i will let you know what happens and i know about PSYMIN's stagea and if i wanted to build the ultimate power stagea i would have to go north of 757kw but thats not what i'm after. I'm after a show quality stagea big custom stereo, custom paint and engine with power to back it up so it isnt all show (which i have yet to see anyone do to a stag PSYMIN being the closest). Thanks again for all the help will keep you posted.

Depends on your definition of ultimate.

sadly i think i will never achieve the 3 liter status, if my stroker 2.7 dies, i am going neo and calling it a day lol, i would love to get a rb30 though the two i have seen were ridiclous.

I would be very surprised if it would cost anywhere near $1000 to freight a block to the US from Oz, just find someone who imports or anything from Oz , it only costs us $2500US for an entire 20ft container from UK..

my 2cents :blush:

Interesting I heard it was in the realm of $10k for a container from just Japan, perhaps prices have changed a lot.

A $1000 if you sent it by plane, no way that much in a container by sea.

Honestly if I was to build my engine again I'd go the RB30 path... way, way cheaper.

I have an HKS built 2.8 Step 2 with Head with extensive work and all the fruit and it was expensive !!

well problem in the us, is finding contacts to get you the blocks, so guys in us fly to aus, meet people, and supposedely find a couple blocks, than fly to us and arrange to have them shipped and thats part of markup, i know 2 people with rb30 one got a rips motor, and other i believe was a 2k block he got from a local rb shop. i wouldnt mind a neo head and rb30 block but its just so damn expensive. just for shits and giggles whats average price you seen for a rb30 block and tell me zip code and i wiill calculate shipping just to see how much markup there is

OK but that's still cheaper than a $20K Tomei stroker kit. On the other hand you can buy RB30 blocks on TradeMe in NZ for about $200 and if you could get two or three and get a freight forwarder to include them in a container to the US shipping for the lot should be under $1000. -Or just buy a ready to go short block from Rips http://www.ripsltd.com/ and he will arrange shipping.

I kid you not, no more than $200 AUD will have you a RB30 bottom end most of the time.

So there is a ridiculous markup

$200 will usually get you a good condition runner! Or quite often it's $500 for a whole VL or R31

O....k.....

Have driven Piggaz's car. Sounds good, goes good, stops good!

Given how similar our setups are it was awesome to see/feel the difference The difference in bottom end torque is so obvious, he has THE best clutch though :D

Dont forget it was a stinking hot day with timing pulled out and running rich as shit. Just wait for the E85 tune.... (hopefully friday). You coming round to lend us a hand tomorrow?

Excuses aside.... Deep down I want a 3 litre. One thing i can't understand though Steve is you mentioned my throttle response was better... hmm?

Yep the throttle response in your car is crazy. Id love to know what your cooler and plenum would be like on my car - oh the endless spending...

Well I aint pulling that plenum off for you to try. Rather put a fire out on my face with a fork! The cooler has made a decent difference. Definately not as lethargic as it was.

We are starting at 8. So anytime after that. You remember the house?

Went and got all the fittings and hoses tonight.... My arse got raped!

Interesting to know oz's fastest RB30s still use sohc. Pm Brad and pintaline for more info.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
