Which one? BA, BF or FG

BA BF = $100 for a long

FG = $150 for a long motor 

My mate at work is constantly bending my ear in all things Barra

Not bad for a base that is so capable and easy to build for small change

yeah its ridiculous how cheap they are. and you can get silly power from a stock block

That was my thinking when I bought the billet block, yes it costs more to begin with but it wasnt much more compared to buying another cast block and doing everything to strengthen it properly and I still would have had a weaker block at the other end 

It's really unfortunate IMO that billet means it's no longer really streetable. I want an engine that you can count 10 seconds and start driving as long as ambient temps are over 5C. I'm also not super wedded to 8mm thick liners or anything like that, my power requirements are comically low and covered by stock block but it's really everything else that keeps me up at night.

I wouldn’t spend 10 of thousands of dollars to build an engine and hit the key and rip my foot off the clutch the second it fired no matter what material the block was made from, I’d warm it up either way so it makes no difference. I’ve seen plenty of billet blocks driven on the street now and know that I’ve made the right choice

Be nice to have a new cast block I'd say.  Mine been 600hp for 8 years with stock R33 GTR block i brought from the wreckers for $400 and got it scanned etc.

Almost time for a refresh with 50,000km+ on it :).

Kids have slowed down the KM's on it now days though.

and found the important bit

 

Q: what’s the price point?
A: Don’t hold us to it but our target price is around 8k for the 1500hp version and 10k for the integrated main cap version with 4 bolt main option 3000hp.
Note: We aim to include main bolts and ALL machine work to spec for a ready to build torque plate finished solution.

next update

 

On paper, this would be epic

4 bolt mains

better oil drains

90mm + bore 

thicker deck 

 

PRP are seriously leading the world in RB’s.  From where Herman started to where he’s taken that brand is phenomenal. Australia is at the absolute forefront of investment in a 30+ year platform!

Not the same engine, but good talk about billet, and the issues and requirements for building big HP alloy blocks that can survive on the street, well, survive for a while anyway without needing pre warming the block

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
