:P @ Sin Thats a cracker.

Anyhow, I drove AMR85's 33 the other day - I felt so dirty, torquey but dirty.

It was sweet as though, and not as whale as I'd expected.

Both cars are an awesome drive :)

I knew you'd like that Leech.

I wouldn't trade the 32 for one, but I'm looking for a 4 door 33 as a "serious, normal - unmodded" car (which I wasn't considering) I was that happy with it.

The 33 blowing flames out the back looked tough as. :burnout:

Instead of taking the bait the way you want me to take it, I'll just remind you that the be all and end all R33 (right? right?) came with a pov spec RB20E option.

Sounds very Pintara'ish doesn't it.......

A good Pintara might be right up your alley Andrew, you can get them with a beige interior from the factory so you wouldn't have to paint it like your 33 :(

I'd love a 31 or pintara, cause i've always wanted a 10second car.....it'll only do 10's down a vertical mineshaft but at least no-one will care when it hits the bottom.....lol.

I love these little fights we all have, at least we know when someone supports a wrx we still stand topgether though!!!

My dad sold his fab 1989 Pintara (RB30) 8 plug 4 cylinder, and got a WRX, so you have to admit, twisted as it is its a great upgrade. But another Line would have been better of course.

I'd like a 31 just as a dirty, nasty I don't care about you drifter though....

Anyhow, we fight because we all just want R34 GTR's :burnout:

Pintara's have a CA20E, they're the 8 plug 4cyl, I think they're a boat anchor of a motor.

Nothing wrong with a WRX, just gotta grandpa shift the gearbox so you don't shatter it ;)

But yes, I do want an R34 GT-R :)

The pintara was a boat anchor.... but got GREAT long distance economy for such a big car (like 800kms plus). I'll get a pic for you later - I'm sure it'll make you drool.

My dad doesn't drive that hard he worries about gearboxes (almost a grandpa). He drove my car a few times and wanted to buy it except that being a 2 door, it was ackward for him to get in and out of (being on the senior side of life). He did however put a 5 inch cannon on the back so it sounds tough.

I'd really like an old school skyline - say late 70's. Anyone know if the current running gear swaps in (RB silvertops).

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
