    Introduction plus my GU RB26DETT build

    Hi my names dayne, fairly new to the 4x4 world
    iv'e had a bunky GQ for a few years but has been claimed by my brother

    I bought a ticking time bomb (rd28 gu) and then converted it to rb30 after the rd decided to BBQ itself, the RB30 went well for 6 months N/A just no torque but was fine off road at high revs, i turbo'd it and blew the front seal along with rocker gasket and dipstick out... yep she had blow by under boost lol








    Now ive just dropped a R33 nissan GTR RB26DETT into it after modding a pickup, sump, engine mount to clear the front turbo and firewall to clear rear turbo. Im a RB boy all the way and know alot about them so i figured it suited me best. Only down side to this conversion is im using the 2.8 box so ill be after a few spare box's. Engine made 388hp @ all 4 wheels in the gtr so im hoping for around the 350rwhp on the 33s. Will be my slowest car but its a 4x4 i guess

    I come from the tar racing world, have a 500+hp VL Turbo Showcar (built rb25) and a 515hp ve maloo as a daily so im addicted to power and fuel guzzlers. I've started to love wedge with the shack up there and getting older (25) clubbing bores me a little so this conversion had to be done. also i have a LS1 at home for a future project possibly another GU patrol??

    Anyway if anyone has RB questions im here to do my best at helping.

    So you dont think im pulling your leg and one of those dreamers we all see, ive chucked in a few pics of my "fast" toys, the maloo is in the air due to a blown box, you'll learn i drive all my cars extremely hard...

    Great looking VL, I didn't see a bowser out the front of your joint. But I guess your saving some money with the Maloo out of action.

    Cheers mate. The VL is my love but with the boys in blue I'm leaning more to stealth power that is on the down low haha

    The patrol should be running this weekend once it's wired. Just finished the 3-3.5 stainless exhaust and already looking at power fc piggy back computers for more power... And I haven't driven it yet haha

    Update, she is now running, I need to get my injectors cleaned though with a idle misfire on no:2 cyl so once thats done ill take her out for a propper drive, She feels low on torque compared to the RB30 but high on power once both turbos spool, it would definately be neck and neck with my missis 6l VE caprice haha

    I've decided im going to put a A/M computer in and turn the boost up to 14-16psi and fit adjustable cam gears on it to try get my torque up a little then i can adjust high end rpm cam curve with the computers VCT controls =D

    Still a bit more wiring to tidy but it moves!!

    I also picked up my custom plates for it today =D
