Hi my names dayne, fairly new to the 4x world
iive had a bunky gq for a few years but has been claimed by my brother

i bought a ticking time bomb (rd28 gu) and have converted it to rb30, went well for 6 months N/A just no torque but was fine off road at high revs, i turbod it and blew front seal along with rocker gasket and dipstick out... yep she has blow by.

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 ffigured it suited me best. only down side to this conversion is im using the 2.8 box so ill be after a few spare boxes. 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 (built rb25) and a 515hp ve maloo as a daily so im addicted to power and fuel guzzlers. ive started to love wedge with the shack up there and getting older (25) clubbing bores me a little so tthis conversion must 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.

cheers boys, yeah the manual was what got me here but plan to stay and meet up for a few or a few to many jacks on a future wedge trip maybe?

rb26 is in the patrol now, just have to wire it and fab up an exhaust. Cooler goes on tomorrow andthen once its done off to the dyno to see what she actually pulls on 33s haha
