BAAAAAAHAHAHAHA! :D Just wondering if the T66 might surge making 50psi @ 3000? Maybe I should put a bigger exhaust on to increase lag say something silly like a 3.5" system and bring the turbo on around 1000rpm later? ;)

dont be a top bloke, get a t70, cause that one comes with the compressor maps! cause new turbos suck! why pay all that money on a fancy engine and shit and not get an old turbo!

I think a lot of what people are trying to communicate here is that for a large percentage of people looking at engines.

Just spending a bit of cash on building a 26 is probably more cost effective than an RB28 or 30.

Don't let anyone tell you having a properly running and installed thirty is a walk in the park or cheaper... it's simply not the case.

People also tend to harp on about a few issues in the Skyline world purely because they are the uneducated consensus.

I think a lot of people would be a lot better off if they thought of it purely in terms of the block box theory.

A black box where air and fuel goes in and work comes out.

I don't know of I'm missing something, but I have absolutely no idea what you are getting at with the black box theory ??

When I take the car for a spin this week Ill let you know. Or better yet come down and drive it for yourself, afterwards you can sit down with Bob and tell him how he could improve the combo.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned what car this is going in???

After doing a RB2630 in a R34 GTR, I would say don't do it if it is going into a 4wd, especially if you want to go dry sump in the future. Bonnet didn't fit, sway bar fouls the dry sump fittings, block adapter means bottom gearbox holes are now out by 40mm, inter cooler pipes need to lengthened, exhaust needs to be lengthened, strut brace doesn't fit, clutch master doesn't fit anymore... The list goes on and on...

If you build a 3ltr, build it as a 3.2ltr.

Also, a RB2630 does rev, mine will go to 9000... And has survived a few 10,000 over revs.

If you want something easy build a 2.8 cause everything bolts back up, but if your willing to put in the work a 3L is a great thing

like what I said here on the first page about the 3l needing extra work to fit.

I don't know how your bell housing bolts ended up out by 40mm mine were out by 10mm (little bit of customizing and now they fit) and my sump is no where near hitting my sway bar and my standard clutch master is still in the car

Sorry, bolts out by 10mm... There still out and require fab work to modify. My sump doesn't foul on the sway bar, the external oil pump fittings do (dry sump). Clutch master doesn't fit due to the Greddy intake plenum that used to fit fine. Add to that the cross member needed to be notched, the firewall taken to with a hammer etc etc.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
