Waynes Rb26/30De N/a Built R31- In Progress

[Wayne.]

This is my r31 skyline, bought it when I was about 15 years old off the r31 skyline club.

Got involved in the whole r31 "scene" and got my mum to take me on car crews as many weekends in a row as possible.

As you can see the car is a series 3 silo, with an rb30 with minor mods such as-

Auto spoiler, projectors, exhaust, neat little intake setup, pedders struts spings, whiteline swaybars and nolathane bushes throughout.

Some of you may know that this was ED's car, ed was/is a perfectionist and sold me the car in awesome condition.

Was an awesome little buy that's for sure!

So I attended my first ever track day at skyline nationals 2010 in Adelaide which happened to work out perfectly for me as I was moving to good old Roxby downs to work in the mines at exactly the same time (originally from wellington NSW)

So I did the trip all in one go, moved house and attended the skyline nationals, still not having my p's at the age of 17 meant I dragged mum along aswell.

Was a good learning experience, anyway, moved out of home to SA to work in the mines, got my p's got some money together and decided to spend some of it-

coilovers- 6kg rear 8kg front Angry industries U-weld coilovers

Wheels- 18" work eurolines

spacers for the front,

import brakes (struts foul on gts1 wheels without spacers)

HEL braided brake lines

and adjustable castor rods

Junk Garage Parts supplied me a new FRP vented bonnet

Looked quite good in my opinion, was loving it, but something was still missing.....

[Wayne.]

And that something that was missing was power..

So i got this-

to be continued....

[krzysztof]

holy batman! nice.. but bring back the gts1 wheels please

[Wayne.]

gts 1 wheels are on it most of the time, only put the other ones on it when being a poser

cant wait to see this car on the road

[Wayne.]

And this, will probly come out again though due to making extractors and intake.

[Wayne.]

And here is some progress on the extractors, nice meaty runners, tacked up at the moment.

[Mr. Untouchable]

Awesome, loving it. Should sound nice too. Did a 31 with a mate a couple of years back, was mainly a panel and paint project but made 109kw with very basic mods, was stacks of fun but would of been 10 times better with a engine like yours in it! Good work.

[LANDSCRIBBLE]

Haha well didnt that escalate quickly! Should be heaps of fun when its running

[Ryno]

Awesome engine build!

My R32 started out life with the RB25DE engine... I loved the sound and throttle response. I was very tempted to swap the bottom end for the RB30, but went down the boring (and more cost effective route) of an engine swap to a RB25DET.

Will be very interested to see how you get on.

[Wayne.]

[RBMunkie]

Mmmm, me likey.

[Wayne.]

So ive had a bit of progress on the intake side of things, the filters will be getting trimmed down, I also have another piece that bolts on to make it like forward facing plenum to run a pod filter.

[ZRBE]

Wow, those nitto piston look epic!

What do you think it will be making at the wheels?

.. Other than smoke.

[Chris Rogers]

HELL YES!

[Ryno]

The sound of this engine will be epic!

[Wayne.]

hoping for 200kw at the wheels on e85 but I think that's wishful thinking.. that was my aim anyway, probably 180 ish kw

[Wayne.]

10 days and I will find out!

[Mr. Untouchable]

Very very cool, very cool. Engine is looking badass. Should sound fantastic too. I would guess 140-150 on 98? Judging by a mates basic 30 with cheapie eBay chip and very basic mods and mild cam. Twin cam 12:1 with better ecu and better everything else should see mid 150's I would think? E85 who knows. Shouldn't be too far off your expectations!
