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:

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:

    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
