Many people have heard of R.I.P.S in NZ, Robbie Ward has build some of the worlds toughest RB engines and skylines.

Here is a video the the record breaking run on sunday in his FED Dragster.

The engine is a fully streetable, fully water cooled RB30, it runs on petrol, the block is stock (no sleeves) stock RB30 crank, stock cradle, stock mains bolts, stock size 11mm head studs, RB26 head, Link G4 ecu, RIPS intake plenim, RIPS 90mm throttle body, RIPS exhaust manifold, twin turbosmart wastegates, GTX45 turbo 35psi, 2 speed powerglide trans, 4.86 gears, MT 10.5 tyres

A customer in England shipped his R34 GTR to robbie in NZ a couple of years ago, he wanted Robbie to build him a 10 second road legal drag car.

Here are video with the results

I still think that GTR is impressive I would of loved to see all the Rotary heads jaws just drop as he rips the quickest time of the day.... straight off the trailer with no idea how or if it will run down the strip... not bad for just running it in lol

Think your wrong, The hks supra did a 6.89 @ 193.93mph that's the only hks car to break the 6 bracket.

The r33 made 1300ps and only cracked a 7.6

The 180 made 1185ps all I can find is that it dipped into the 7s but no official times.

maybe on Gran Turismo 2 it did a 6 sec et

just says they would like to get into the 6's, but dosnt disclose a time.

I dont think Robbie would make a statement like that if it wasn't true.

That little HKS midget f1 car was pretty cool tho! shame they never made it to the F1

Oh no man, I was agreeing with you, I just remember seeing the video.

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
