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

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.

      Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)

      Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...

      Blue slip

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...

      Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
