OK Dyno queens,

Whats the most powerfull RB25DET engined car you have seen in Australia ??

No NOS, water injection, methonol or anything like that - Just good ol' turbo luving ! No RB25 with a RB26 Head - No 3.0 litre bottome ends - Just a nicely worked RB25DET.

No BS stories please - post facts and back them up - turbo sizes, engine specs and all !

Cheers,

I'm just interested Chris - I am still wanting to reach that goal as my view is that anything over 300rwkw for the circuit is a waste (unless awd). > 300rwkw is good for Drags and Dyno queens like me :P

Besides, before I make the move to approx 300rwkw with good response - I wanna see if I can attain a good number for Dyno Queen purposes ;)

What do OBEHVE? JMS R33 do ?? ?? I think I read a mag once where someone got about 346rwkw out of an RB25DET.

Don't get me wrong - it's not what is at the top of the curve, its what is underneath the curve that counts. But hey everyone wants to be a bit of a wanker once in ther lives ;) ha ha ha

I thought there would be some 500+rwkw monsters out there?

if there were no rb26dett and the rb25det were the 'best' engine that nissan offered in the skyline, then i'm sure more people would have pushed their money into the rb25...

(not to say its not capable of these figures because i'm sure it is)

380kW @ rears on sunoco unleaded in the BU5TER.  Std internals and still with RB25DET head.

That was pretty well the start of the end though, I'd be quoting 330rwkw for mine even though I've got 1/2 a dozen higher power figures from very friendly dynos and the one 380rwkw figure which really never made it off the dyno hahaha, I raced it with 330rwkw never raced it or drove it with any more power so 330 it is :)

Mine had stock internals aswell as standard head gasket, but a shit load of bolt ons

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
