what about the one where they exchange a helmet or a van.. wtf? and im skeptical all in all about the show becuase of the chitown racing people. they did the show, lost, then took their car home. TWICE. I know one time they lost a competitor and called some guy randomly to do it.. I also heard rumors of a law suite....

just a thought as I have been dreaming RB30 since 03, there is alot of talk about a VW belt working with the swap making it easyer to get state side.. I have alot of info compiled if someone needs somthing but basicly think higher deck height and longer stroke. the best source I found was skylines down under and that long *** thread. there is also a Aussie shop that will build the block over there and was willing to ship it to me.. there link is also on SDU

from what I understand it is the same but with a transfercase where a shifter would be. odly enough a tranny guy localy talked with me about using a Z33 tranny. i dont see it being a option untill someone wants to front getting a new case prototyped. I thought it would be just a bell housing but the entire case is together. second the shifter is the old supra style(long behind) and the cover is NOT for a toploader. So inless you want to have a 2+2 and use and adapter and shift from the back seat, I dont see the Z33 as a vaible option. but if anyone is interested, he has 2 just sitting in a corner.

from what I understand about the Silvia and skyline trannys is that the are the same as the 5speeds with a extra gear crammed in. Making it not much stronger of an tranny. Im going to be making a Z33 to RB bellhousing here soon though...

yeah thats retarted, makes no sense for the extra throttle.. my only question is about the TPS and idle air control..

mind if I take this over to racebread?

what if you used the same idea, but put the Y pipe right by the front of the plenum with a single throttle.

how low does the mounts put the motor? Ill be using a RB30 motor witch sits a bit higher then the 25 and 26 motor, so Im interested in clearance..

serious.. ive allways thought of moving to montana for the cheaper housing... problem is where to work...

pricey?? for forged pistons and rods?

the problem isnt in the shipping, its in the crazy tax. as soon as I get some other things in line I need to find someone who can ship it.. im gussing about $200USD for the bottom end. then $500USD for shipping and import tax. then i dont even want to use the stock rotating assembly... just the block and crank.. so Ill have some extra parts lol.

sick, allthough thats right off the crank, I've seen standard 26's pull 800+ to the wheels.. Id really like to see if they are making that main girdle...

I also agree with the 26 being the starting point if power is what you want. personally im going 30.

first, only the R34's came with the 6speed.. the others were the same as the gts-4 or gts-t but with a transfercase.. second, besides that of the Nismo SR transmission I dont think any come with the correct bolt pattern. The guys here are looking into modifying the 350Z bellhousings with that of the Nisssan 10bolt.. I may be getting ahold of one of these and taking the engine side, with the tranny side to a machine shop I know, with measurements and have the belhousing remade custom..

really? I wonder then if I used 4.10s in my 8.8 id be ok...

they do make them, you just need the part number.. they dont list them on US websites.. some of the NZ ones ahve that number..

ONLY the R34 comes with the 6speed.. the rest are 5's

Id love to hear more about your swap plans, your the first stateside that ive even seen with the same plan... what ECU are you going with? turbo? then maybe im confused about the 26 pistons ability to work, but I do know for a fact that the RB25's are working very well.. every NZ based swap ive seen does it this way

also speaking from mustang experiance... if I wasnt going to go eagle Id go cunningham.. but whateva..

i bumped a thread all about it...

anyone have the guys username?????

i dont know about the WRX's but I know that the car gives it 50/50 through the transfercase, and you have to wire a circut to trick the attesa into being RWD and I dont think that its 0/100

agreed.. inless hes getting you the 3k Nismo silvia transmission, hes confused.. I have seen people cut front shaft out and weld the hole.. but dunno how efficant that is..

stealth, if you use the stock RB30 pistons with a RB25 head it has that low of compression, the mod is to switch to RB25 or RB26 pistons, they have the same bore.. are you going 30 block??/ where are you getting the block from, if contacted a few people on here from NZ who agreed to help me out, but i cant find anything on how to ship it...
