god damn i want this!!

mad price!

Rb28, -5 turbos (probs change that), seems like a heaps genuine seller, saying it has a couple dings but there getting fixed before sold.

also, found out today im not being kept on for my apprenticeship but i may get a job for the same company but maintaining the locos that ive built for the past year, better hourly rate, and rolling roster between day and arvo shift with 4 10 hour days with the option to work any friday. a bit keen...

yeah ill find out hopefully this week or early next if i get the job as the email and everything has been sent.

dont think im gunna worry about the mines, the casual blokes at my work are on 40 bucks an hour and thats standard for newy, when you think about the distance and then having to rent somewhere in singleton ill either be living rough or saving less money then working in newy and coming home to emma every night.

plus i doubt id get in a mine cause i dont have family in there :S

Saw that. good price....but way down on power for -5's...but it wasn't exactly seeing much boost. Also, don't know where you got the rb28 info from.

.8 sump with baffles??

that not 2.8??

yeah i thought that about boost, would expect 280 atleast

nope just an extended sump. Mine's still a 26 and holds 9L (11L if there's oil in the cooler)

rb26's can suffer from oil starvation. With a combination big G corners, high rpm's and a poor head oil drainage design, the result is that the stock pump can essential empty the sump and thus suck air = no oil for bearings = spun bearing. After market pumps can flow more then 25% higher then stock, so the problem is amplified. The larger sump capacity pretty much eliminates the lack of oil problem and the baffels keep the oil around the pick-up during high-g corners. n1 engines came stock with a higher oil capacity, so nissan was probarly aware of the problem from there racing experince.

ahh i see, fair enough then :P

whats the advantage of a bigger sump??

hey joel hows WA? good to see your still lurking newy :D:D:D

i still check in from time to time :yes: . I'm bored at work and the WA section is dead.

WA's going well. Still haven't found a house yet though...and I'm really missing my tools (their in storage). Hopefully i'll have one by the end of the year and can start to settle in then.

ah right, where are you now then??

id imagine everything to be expensive as!

Work's got me a place in the middle of the city for a few months - it was part of a relocation package. Trouble is, i'm still working up in Port hedland, so i'm never actually in perth to be able to look for houses.

Yeah it's probably about 20%-30% more then newcastle for just about everything. But good city, very social.

I went 4wd on the weekend with a few mates, the old ferroza held up well conwsidering it's completely stock:

jesus dude!!!

didnt know the old girl had that in her!!

    • Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.
    • Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way
    • Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate 
    • He means "as opposed to mechanical cable drive". Older cars (R32 for ex.) had cable drive. Later cars with essentially the same gearbox, ie R34 GT (NA RB25) used essentially the same box as the R32 GTSt, but instead of a cable drive, had an electronic speed sender plugged into the same hole in the box, running from the same little gear that would have run the cable. Some of the shittier later cars use a speed sender on the nose of the diff, or the ABS sensors.
    • Lower than engine, or lower than it should at the hubs? Either way, that is a nice power figure and I'm not surprised you say it rips now. What stopped you from turning it up any more? Injectors? Or did it just stop responding to boost?
