Hi all,

Another little project has popped up. This time it’s a Rb30DET, 100% stock with 240k on the clock.

I have done a quick search but really don’t have the time to dig deep like I did with my rb26 conversion, which as much as I learnt it was a couple years of pulling my hair out haha.

This is were your experience comes in :)

Stock SL Rb30DET

Keep in mind mods to accommodate this will be for a street driven car only, No massive turbo and nothing over the top. This car is daily driven and needs to be reliable

Budget is $10,000 and looking to be in the workshop next week.

Go!

majority in this section seem to be 25/30 ect

Think it will be best off taking the money down to a select workshop and saying, make me go fast :)

Haha that could work :P

lol, End of the day the car is for a mate, ive gone through all the hassles with my rb26 and not to keen on doing it again.

and almost wish at time si did the same with my car, Heres the bloody cash. Build the car and il see you in a few weeks :)

Yes, That was the original intention, But decided to try my luck here first. Before venturing out into the barron lands

Have fun out there..... I stay in here where its safe!

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
