Quick update...

Called the panel shop doing the repairs underneath the car today, he said the parts from Japan won't be here for at least three weeks!!! :domokun:

At least the car and the engine will be finished both at once so I can start dropout the engine back in in a few weeks...

Thinking of respraying the engine bay blue also while the engine is out.. Just to clean up the look a little. :thumbsup:

how is the cost saving of a brand new 2.6 crank going to make it more bullet proof than the 2.8 kit? either way you are getting forged guts (rods and pistons + brand new crank)

It's a total saving of just over $3000 including the full treatment on the new crank and all pistons and rods...

Tony can get me great prices on everything except stroker kits hahaha :cheers:

yeah lol, i missed the Toll Priority delivery at home by 10 minutes, and they say i have to wait till monday to get it now lol. Went from an expensive 3 day delivery to an expensive and frustrating 8 day delivery. Gotta love Toll. kunce

I hope everyone had a good Australia Day :thumbsup:

Update!!!

Also got a Trust Oil Cooler/Relocator Kit...

Now all I need is the panel shop to hurry up with the car so I can put it all back together.. :glare:

without the stroker kit it realy isnt going to be that different from any other rb26 build.

more info on how u are going to get it responsive would be good, but seeing as your budget is limited to not even a stroker kit i cant see much happening

Haha yeah Reece and his R34 are going to be my pit crew but only if he's lucky cos this things going to be in another class haha :thumbsup:

How do you know reece??

Haha my old 34R is now his :)

I'm looking forward to seeing how far he takes it.

Good for you blokes to have some healthy competition going!

cant beat a stroker for response

i think the ID1000 with e85 fuel wont make your 500kw goal my 2c. but prove me wrong

The turbo I'm using is rated at just over 520kw so we'll see...

Anyway, as the topic is titled, 400-500rwkw I'll be hugely happy with 450rwkw...

Righto mate, like a RB28 is super different anyway, it's done all the time so they are deffinatly nothing special... Just buy a kit, slap it in and reap the displacement benefits..

I'd rather save the $3000 for another part of the car and stay true to the GTRs 2.6L displacement and see just how responsive I can make it while making some good power...

I could have bought a R32 or R33 and thrown the extra $30,000 I would save on the purchase price into the engine and stroked it and gone all out but I prefer the R34s alot more hence the reason there is a budget to this build... I own this car outright and I am using savings to modify it,not a loan or daddys money and I am not going to dip into my house deposit money for a few extra KWs, 450rwkw is plenty for the street in anyone's book so I am staying the 2.6 because I can pick up a crank for $600, pistons for $600 and rods for $800... Not the $5000 it would cost for a stroker kit...

There is alot of work going into the head porting, valve sizes, plenum design, manifold design and turbo selection to make this thing as responsive as a set of -5s with more power and a neater engine bay...

I think its fairly safe to say that if you don't spend the money in the bottom end to achieve your power goal, you will instead have to spend it in the top end. I don't believe there is any money to be saved with creation of big power. You end up spending it somewhere in the end.

By that I mean either ....

RB28 + mild head work/cams, 8000 RPM and 25lb boost with your T51 class turbo. or

RB26 + heavily worked over head with 272/step 2 valve train components. 9000 RPM and 25lb boost with your T51 class turbo.

If it takes 2 months longer to afford the stroker, then wait for it. It really is worth it. I know which of the two above options i'd prefer.

ID1000's would achieve the 500kw goal easily with a water/meth system... (still my new favourite modification).

Mmm, well the head is already been started and all the parts have already been purchased...

The head is getting 272 cams, full step 3 valve train and oversized valves :thumbsup:

Tony seems to think we'll see 480rwkw with e85 and he's been doing this along time... So we'll see...

Only time will tell...

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
