Looks like I will be fitting the manifold and turbo to the 25 first. Engine is a long way a way with cost wise. Will be fitting over the next few weeks. Then getting it tuned. Want it done by the 24th of this month. Have a track day on the 26th.

Ok. So I have the bottom end back and about to bolt it together.

Just wanted to know what head gasket everyone uses in the rb30 25 neo builds. I know what thickness I need just not aure on witch one to use.

25 26 or 30.

Whats the best one?

Ok so have picked up the 30 head gasket and now trying to sort out the timing belt. Do you use the 25 tencher and idler or do you use the 30 ones. Also what brand belts is everyone using. Tried to find a t291 gates belt in racing series and gates Australia don't have them. I know people use the dayco std one but wanted to have something with better quality thats all.

You didn't read my answer.

Use any brand belt you want, it doesn't matter unless making huge power. I used a standard run of the mill Dayco belt.

Seeing as RB30 doesn't use an idler you may find it hard to use that. Like I said RB25/RB30 use the same tensioner bearing so it doesn't matter.

Okay then I would buy the most expensive belt you can get, maybe get in contact with OS Giken and see what belt they used on their 26 strokers. Meanwhile everyone else will be over here using the inferior Dayco belt just fine.

Was speaking with a bloke the other day and he said that the top deck of the block needs a different finish for the cometic head gasket. Never used them before so don't know if this bloke was telling the truth or Tring to blow smoke up my arse.

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
