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...............

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
