Its quite impressive when you consider the rips crowd couldnt do those times with their 3 litre in a dragster.

What? You can hardly compare the two - if you are going to draw any comparison, it's pretty cool to think that people would even compare a high dollar full tube frame stroker diesel blocked sequential drag box RB32DET drag car with something which was a project to build something as quick as possible for as little as possible money, as opposed to try to get a world record. It just happened to work well:

It used an auto, the chassis was a front engined dragster which was never built to go that quick, and had a fairly basic (considering the times) engine package. The fact that the first 6s RB was built essentially on a budget is kindof awesome, naturally being a dragster that is a clear advantage in that respect - and clearly is how it was possible to go that quick without spending mega$$$,, but deciding to conclude that its the best RIPS could do throwing everything can think of at it is not exactly unbiased thinking. I'm sure with a bigger budget you'd see bigger things

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • 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
