3.4l RB is the most I am aware of...

also a lot of the Ford guys running sub 11 Barra's are actually de-stroking to 3.6 / 3.7 odd due to vibration issues at high RPM

Destroking? What is this madness

Edge motorworks sounds promising

Call and Barry answers

Him: You vont stroker?

Me: Yeah that or an RB30 bottom end

Him: Yah 30 torque monsta...lots of power...do that

I like where this is going

Hahaha.

Barry has built a few engines for me, I've always had good experiences.

Be patient though.

Number is 0401300028 just in case you are still waiting for a PM.

Unrelated:

Today switched from 50,000km old KU31 235s on the front and nearly bald R1R 265s on the rear to AD08 255s and AD08R 265s respectively.

Wow what a transformation. Those tyres are unbelievably good value for the $220 each they cost me. So much corner grip it's ridiculous; just turns in so well with the 255s up front. And finally a set of road tyres that can hold my 2nd gear all the way through - time to break out the G-tech again Leigh :P

Mind you, those KU31 are an incredibly hard wearing tyre. Still 40% tread left on these. Awesome value for a daily driver not pushing too much power.

Also it's friggen handy living literally across the road from a tyre workshop. Cash tyre changes and alignments ftw - dude was trying to convince me to sign up to a drift event coming up lol

so your finally working out that those toyos were NOT great preformance tyres...


what next realise that D1R's are not great light weight rims.....

that said ordering some RS3s next wek ust to not be on the Yoko band wagon .. or mroe to the point as they don;t do discounts on 17's......

how the hell do you crack a fuel tank?

I honestly want to know, because I've split four tanks now.

Four!

From two different cars.

By now, I absolutely know the plumbing of the charcoal canister back to front.

You can't even find this shit on google. Seriously, look for "R34 cracked fuel tank" and behold the lack of .. anythings.

It's quite shit. Surely I have to be doing something wrong like pumping 30PSI into my fuel tank, but having checked the lines there's nothing there.

Looks like the crack is right up top though, so it only leaks when I'm at 100% fuel. It stops leaking and the gauge is still pinned to the top, so, gonna be filling up 75% until I buy a new tank from Nissan.

I've since disconnected the charcoal canister.

But seriously, ffs.

Birds my pain is real.

I'd assume your chassis is twisted due to all of the massive torques... hopefully its so twisted that a 33 tank will fit ;)

I'm just trying to get rid of it out of the garage, so take it and see, then it's your problem and not mine.

Looking at the pics here http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/444306-r33-gtr-and-r33-gtst-fuel-tanks-the-same/

Looks to be very similar, though I can't remember which side some of the hoses run to. I swear they may be different but there's no way to know until the thing is out of the car. Which really needs a hoist.

If only there was a guy with a hoist who does things on the cheap...............

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
