Can you source more than one Apexi turbo, if so one may suit my needs??? Could you PM me a price??

As for the VCT, as i understand it the RB25DE head does not use the VCT, which is the reason a lot of people use these heads as it simplifies the process a little.

I have read that the VCT can be used with the RB30 bottom end as mentioned above by tapping into oil pressure line.

People have used the RB20DET ECU to run a non VCT RB25/30 engine , but if you want to use the VCT it means aftermarket ECU, or maybe OE R33 with Power FC.

I understand that they use the same stud diameter but ive heard different people tell different tales about oil and water lines. Either way budget some $$$ for this and have it done when you have the block drilled and tapped for the new timing belt.

As for not worth the money, well if insurance and rego wasnt as issue i would be building an RB25/30. Even if your not chasing huge HP, extra 500cc help spool up larger turbos & plenty of locally developed perfromance parts for RB30 bottom. Hell you dont even really have to run aftermarket rods and pistons to make a lazy 250kws at the treads. Use a 6000rpm readline with 1bar of boost from a large turbo. Just make sure you use decent bearings, rod bolts etc, and have the OE stuff x-rayed and balanced/linished etc.

There are plent of VLs using 12 valve head making far more power then this and running in the low 10s and high 9s, some of the 10-11sec cars use std internals.

Look no further then the Sammut Bros old 300ZX drag car that ran an RB30, i recall it even beat Victor Bray one year. Dont know extent of mods though! Nizpro also has a long list of 9-11 sec streetable VLs.

what gearbox and diff do they use? cos i'm sure a standard skyline box and diff wouldn't hack much more than 300kw at the treads... especially not with a few hard launches!

does the VCT make that much of a difference when talking RB30DET? Where would you notice the power difference, bottom or top end?

Thanks

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
