Great info ...  go the sweet taste of Jack

But ... if you had RB20 setup currently, what would be the logical way to go? Which head would you use?

Also, can you use any bits from the current setup?

In R32 GTST's I prefer the R32 RB25DE top end as it doesn't have VVT. The RB20DET stuff (sensors and manifolds) all basically bolt up, so the R32 GTST wiring harness and ECU work perfectly.

Bits from the current set up, I assume you mean RB20DET. Note that the new RB31DET has an RB26 top end. So I used the injectors (S5RX7T), all the sensors, ignitor, coils, alternator, starter, oil cooler, remote oil filter, radiator (PWR), electric fan (Davis Craig), air filter (pipercross POD), heat shield, ambient air feed, Power FC, Commander, gauges (oil pressure & temp plus exhaust gas temp), sump (it already had wings & baffles), intercooler (std R33 GTR), some intercooler pipework, engine mounts, OS Giken twin plate clutch, fan belt, power steering belt, bottom radiator hose (silicone), alternator bracket, power steering pump bracket, throttle cable, fuel pumps, adj fuel pressure regulator (Nismo), adj camshaft pulleys (Jun), plus lots of mounting hardware, nuts, bolts and washers.

We also have a Stagea, and I will use some of the (no longer needed) RB20DET bits on it. Like the RB25DET turbo (GCG ball bearing hi flow), split dump (Performance Metalcraft), old intercooler (Group A Supra), some pipework, boost controller (Autospeed) and exhaust (suitably modified). I try not to waste anything that is good/useable.

Hope that helps, Happy New Year:cheers:

This engine drives very nice on the street.

I still cant get over the fact that the bottom end can handle 475BHP with stock cast pistons.. lol

What about stock bearings? like ACL brand ? can they handle that power too?

SydneyKid: what ignition timing have you seen RB30DET's (with 25 heads) use on full boost ?

The max power out of standard injectors i could have got was 240rwkw but that was standard fuel pump too. upgrade the stock pump to a bigger unit and you might get more with a Adjustable Rising rate regulator - but thats really unsafe way of doing it and its a prick to tune them at times. (can be inconsistant)

      Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?
