Trailers, mmm I think we will build one, see exact costing and go from there. I only want a very very basic one. No tyre rack etc. Will be around end of the year I reckon before we look at building on

Am thinking about selling the twins so if anyone is interested send me a pm.

They are twin T3/T4s custom manifold and 48mm turbosmart gate. Will come with filters, oil and water lines and dump pipes.

They need to make way for something bigger :geek:

Ordered my cam cover gaskets, top plenum gasket, manifold gasket, turbo gaskets, cam cover bolt seals (you dont want to know how much they are) dump & exhaust gaskets. Along with my new turbotech, paint for engine bay detailing, timing belt kit and oil pump.

Paid almost all of the money back i owe to everyone and the above the bank balance doesn't look so great :D

Big thanks to BMS for sourcing some of the gaskets for me and looking after me with his sharpest pencil :P

Just picked up the 400r kit so need to get the front bar and guards painted, and hopefully find a carbon bonnet somewhere and put it all bacl together, get the other part of the cross of the side intrusion bars welded in and paintthe inside and it's ready to rock and roll.

My RB20DET is out of the 31 and stripped to a short block now; was inspected this week so I'm waiting on a quote for machining and assembly. Had spun number four big end and number four piston has some damage to a ring land which looks like it probably contacted the head when the slop got great enough.... However the head looks fine, bores etc are pretty good, crank and rod look saveable.

Most likely just a stock rebuild with new genuine pistons and rings, decent bearings. Thinking of going with an N1 oil pump to insure against another oil pump related failure. Few little toys for the outside, bigger injectors, front mount cooler, Nistune board in the ECU etc.

Update for me is i had my car dynoed at boost last week. ive been to bissy helping my new team mate out to post on here much.

specs of the engine are

GTR FMIC

GTR injectors

R34 neo turbo 10psi actuator

custom ic piping.

split dump pipe into 3" straight through exhaust with no mufflers.

GTR power FC

all sitting on a rb25DE

the car pulled 194rwkw with a slipping clutch and was slightly detuned to prolong the life of the clutch which i ended up changing over the weekend so the car got a big birthday.

the car had been tuned before hand by a friend of mine and it felt nice and strong on the 5psi that we were feeding it then.

i am yet to drive the car as its a track only car but i will get to this weekend so im pretty keen to se if there is any difference.

after having it on the dyno ive got the power bug and i want more. its killing me now that without the slipping clutch it could have cracked the 200 mark with would have made me very happy for a budget biuld.

cool. what color will you do it in?

rx7 is progressing slowly, should be faster, but renovating a house and really need to get it sold by oct/nov so we can start building and the car has been put on the back burner. should be finished and racing by years end though.

Hey man,

I have a spare stock clutch if that helps? You can have it.

Sam

thanks mate but i got a new one to save me any more hassels.

i used the car on the weekend and it was brilliant. it was absolutely magical and proformed well all day. so id have to say i am happy with boosts work. the proof is in the car. but in saying that i havent tried any other people so i wont be jumping over the moon about it just yet.

      Max horse power stock internals?

      G30-770. So long as you're talking engine horsepower, and not some bullshit wheel/axle/mystery horsepower.

      It's a lottery, no one is going to be able to predict how much HP YOUR engine is going to handle as history has a huge part to play.    As examples though. I have one rb26 on 630rwhp, running 16 years now at that level, track use, only a couple of times a year.  Another 790rwhp, about 2 years now, driven every weekend.    If i was to give you a "safe" number I would say 450rwhp on 98 and 550-600 on e85.  Seen plenty of motors pop with less though too

      Nismo front and back LSD

      By Butters · Posted

      Fair play on the 120k, sorry just live in nanny Aus.  High rpm on cruise would kill me too.    On the gears, its not just first, so beside the fact I really enjoy that nice punch you get when you accel in first. 2nd is all messed up in the gearsets too. Most people I know with gearsets(even sequentials) have to drop into 1st for tarmac rally slower corners as second gear is too low in rpm, its painful. Translate to the street, I am using a 2.3 gear out of a low speed turn, gearset you got a 1.7 second. I can tell you now between my two cars which one is a LOT more fun.    On a track its a different story, once the car is moving the gearset ratios are supreme, 1st gets you going on a big rpm launch, then 2nd is no issue for the corner speed on most tracks.    Yer the price sucks  , old enough to remember these selling for $1500usd here in Aus.

      Will mainly be steering the car as tracking it in China would reduce its value a lot and mines a near mint condition v spec 2. Just weighing out the options for the next improvement. Thanks

      Thanks for the info. With the 2.8L stroker kit what would be the best single turbo setup for around 700-750 drivable horsepower? As I think after that it’s going to be very aggressive power delivery.
