Sounds like you are challenging me for the most overcapitalised RB20 in history.

I'm glad im not the only one wasting  spending money on these buckets

It's different when you're connected :)

I know what happens BTS.

I am also well connected ?i much prefer wasting my own time and building everything myself that wasting somebody elses time on an RB20 ? 

Funny you're still not powered by a 4G63T haha

Haha they are to reliable for me. Need that stock 30 year old Nissan 'will I make it where I'm going or will I break my oil pump halfway there' feeling to keep me comfortable. It does annoy me how quickly they spool turbos though and Benny has got them dialled.

It's the stroke and the head, light years ahead of the Nissan boat anchors.

Might need your services one day to convert to DBW, install a couple of hall effect sensors and get traction control going ?

I would convert to DBW in a heartbeat if the only real option to keep the ITB setup wasnt 4k AUD. It's so so much better than cable its stupid. I have never dabbled with kebabtech traction control but with MoTeC it works flawlessly ?

There was talks of someone on this forum using the ITB DBW from a BMW on this forum, but not sure if it materialised. Maybe you can be the first hahaah

Mines just a single TB on a Plazmaman intake, not the ITB setup so it's nothing fancy. This is from last year.

any particular reason for converting to DBW? do you now have cruise control or anything?

It's a race car and has Motec everything so DBW is used for idle control and I'm a big believer 'in if it's worth doing, it's worth over doing'

I wanted a forward facing TB and would have had to purchase a larger unit anyway so there was essentially no significant cost difference between DBW and a cable throttle.

You get to piss off the idle control valve and aux air control valve (both are slow and lazy).

@Komdotkom any plans to run traction control?

Yes, it's got most of the Motec catalogue in it so runs just about everything you can think of. Just missing tyre temp sensors and suspension position sensors I think.

At the moment it runs 'traditional' Motec traction control strategy but I was considering a DBW TB in the intake pipe after the IC to bleed off boost as a form of TC which was very effective because it doesn't impact engine speed an efficiency as much as other strategies. A mate ran his IPRA car like this with excellent results.

I must win the over capitalisation contest then, my RB20 is DBW!

It makes me so mad that a genuine Bosch DBW throttle is only about $400 installed and that its 10x the price to do it on ITB, sadpanda.you go 68 or 74mm?

It was Stephen from IEE and even after talking to him it was still the best part of 2.5k AUD and that was before the 'rona and AUD tanking. I just decided to absolutely tap out my M130 instead haha.

You running M1 or gold box? Would need M150 minimum to run that or a DBW4 unit. Unless you plan to run it as an actuator on a DHB and have no feedback loop?

    • 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.
