Ok new plan. If it does turn out that a high mount single can be made legal, what will support 600AWHP without lag that can be marked on a calendar?

engineering documentation will run you about $1,500 if it is built correctly first time around

Josh has engineered several big single cars so know what needs to be done from the get go to get it over the line. as oppose to building it, and then needing to spend more cash getting it compliant for engineering

one car is a holinger equipped 934whp R32 GTR with a 72 series precision (cant remember exact precision)

Isnt it funny, you speak to 10 peope and you will get 10 different answers to a question.

Spoke to Josh from Galvsport. Came across as a very knowledgable guy. I will be seeing him in about 2 weeks to finalise the plan of attack. He is sudgesting that for my purposes, a stroker kit is a waste of money. I will see more benefit from using better bottom end components and opening up the heads breathing capacity. Made sence when he said it. He also advised me to stya with the low mount twins. Once again, the sheer cost of the conversion and the engineering costgs to make it legal, simply outweigh any benefits. I should b e able to reach my goals from a smart low mount setup and proper engine setup to match. After giving me the idead of the cost difeerence between staying with a 2.6 and going to a stroker kit, I am thingking that I might be better of using the extra change to strengthen gtrs driveline compenents like diffs, clutch sng gearbox.

Will lay out a new plan once I have had a proper chat to him. Thank you every one for your sudgestions. Ihave learnt a huge amount from you guys. If you have any further advice, I am all ears.

Exactly as Pete said.

Machining

Labour to put in and out

Head freshen up

Cams

Bearings

Clutch

Injectors

And the list goes on.

$2-3 k is a drop in the ocean when you're talking about what you're about to do. That dofference falls IF you need a new crank or have to "prepare" your current one.

Might not be anything wrong with a well setup 2.6 but the 2.8 is always going to be better

So go a 30 then. Why skimp out on 200cc on next to nothing,

Rather sell the 26 less what u need, get a 30 get it built and $ to play with. You can get a fully forged and assembled 30 bottom end for 4k which is less than the parts of stroker kit.

Any each to their own I suppose. Choices, choices and more choices. We are pretty blessed to have so many options.

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
