Peak hour in Forster?

haha, you bloody drongo, Sydney

I had an hour the day I picked it up getting to the freeway to get home, 1 1/2 dropping it off for the first lot of work and a 10 second one getting across Tuncurry bridge, lol

mist have been something wrong, I had an os triple, and it was a pleasure to drive with.

try a quad with nothing happening until 5000 + around in bumper traffic, bloody nightmare at first. Once I got a little torque it was much better and I think it would have been easy with the 30/26 build BUT it was suggested to me that a Coppermix twin plate would be easier on the box, so I took the advice :)

Drove in for about 1000Klms while I ran the motor in, then took Sydney again for the final tune = 1st Dyno Graph, drove it home , still a heap of shit for a DD, drove it back to Sydney a few months later for a few changes = 2nd Dyno Graph , much easier to drive but not as a responsive street car = the build , hopefully the end :)

Pete you're taking this very calmly. If I got sent a copy of my car being stripped I'd be :angry: Hang on though are you sure you said BUILD the car???? :wacko:

I know, you are on the red again, haha

Lol.

Buys car with fresh 2.6, tries a few things and realises it's still a nugget. Cracks the shits and goes all out with the biggest stroker on the market.

This guy is alright!

Can't wait for that first message or phone call when it's all finished!!!!

Hi Paul, I have to get it home first :)

I am sure it will be better than the first trip home, got bucked off about 3 times in the first Klm, felt like a right DH, there was no trying to beat the traffic across the road I can tell you that, haha

Had a twin plate os on the 2.6 with twin gtrs'.

It drove ok in traffic.

Creeping in stop start, bumper to bumper on the motorway.

As I've told everyone, after the 3l, I won't go back.

How is would love to be able to afford the 3.4.

One day.......

One day.

Hi Luke, 3.4, stroker ?, which one would you get?

Glad to hear you think the Twin Plates are good for a DD

If you get a chance drive a 2.6 with a T78-D, set up peaky, with a new OS Quad and 2-way LSD in dumper traffic for an hour or so, it is all very on/off, I had not driven a stick for 8 years when I jumped into this thing to drive it home. Like everything, it gets easier the longer you use it.

is that an offer? ;)

As Piggaz has posted, I'd go the spool kit.

The only kit I know of currently for the rb30.

Seems they have had decent success with it.

Is Spools the best ?

Are HKS and the Brian Crower 3.4 Strokers only for 2JZs ?

No, they are however the only 3.4 RB kit

Yes

Yes

You got IMO the best off the shelf RB30 stroker, Nitto 3.2 FTW

Edit: refresh before posting :D

I would have loved you to drive it, Paul only had to look at the 1st Dyno and said it would be a shit as a DD, too late now , 3.2 yeah :)

When I bought the car, a few young blokes were laughing at me when I told them of my first trip home. They were putting shit on me about my driving skills, so I let them take it for a spin, the only thing spinning were their heads as it chirped ,bucked and stalled down the street, sooooooo funny after all of their big talk, then I drove it away. Non of them had driven a quad clutch before, guess you had to be there :)

The Spools seems to be the way to go,all the best once you get the $$$$$s together for the 3.4, that should be interesting :woot:

No, they are however the only 3.4 RB kit

Yes

There seemed to be a few concerns about the 3.4 longevity and functionality from a few things I read, 9 months ago so I cannot remember the exact reason/s but enough for me to go with the Nitto 3.2 if I was going to stroke it.( the Motor)

I did read a lot of Forums and reviews and listened to you blokes on SAU that were like minded before I made the final decision and can only hope I did the right thing, guess I will find out soon :/

How funny would it be if I hate it , I would not tell anyone and just drive the Tiida, haha

Have to ask, you blokes know that I am not going all out on this build, it is a very simple RB30/26 build, no big turbo/s, big cams and all the other mods needed for big power.

Just a PT6262 CEA, 260 10.8 cams , one 460LPH Walbro pump, not sure what the injectors are on it, maybe 700cc, oil and water OK.

CRD building and tuned for response.

Have an educated guess, what do you think the final AWKW will be on 98 pump.

Just interested if you blokes can get close, when I spoke to Jim he said around 400awkw ish, I have mentioned this before and been howled down for such a small estimation but that is what we spoke about, but with very good response.

Just have a guess, don't need any shit dumped on me, well, not too much :)

just buy a nissan leaf for a DD...

going to be dead a long time, I will go with the R :)

Had to edit, maybe it would be a good idea to go with the leaf, life would seem twice as long driving that :/

If I like a car I never get sick of driving it :no:

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
