First question: who has cracked a RB block?  And how/when/where?

i do. how? dont know. just happend? it has cracked on the outside of the block, on the hot side, between cylinders 2 and 3, right above the oil feed. after some googling, it seems to be a popular spot. Next question is. have you cracked one? what have done to remedy it?

So this is a GTR thing then?  If so, count me out.

Is there drag racing type launches involved?

good stuff. i actually didnt anticipate id make 800hp. long story but it sort of just happend. wish i went block brace from the start.

at the time i just saw it as cheap insurance for stock block which came back as mint after initial test, hadnt decided what turbo/power i was going for

alternative would have been to shell out 5k+ on N1 block if stock one was buggered

Do not have one personally, but all the high power GTR's i know of all use the PRP items. And PRP is very well intertwined with the majority of the big GTR workshops, in sydney at least so that speaks a lot.

I've got one, on a stock block 2.8 stroker, hard to say how its going to hold up as the engine only has 2-3k kms on it. 

500kw run in tune 25psi with a 9180. See what she does at 35-40 psi in a few months.

similar setup to what I'm going for except with 8374, I assume Jez is tuning

    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
