yea i remover the rear freeze plug in to oil galley and ran a -12 line bk to the oil pan, im currently working on building a "jun" cooling mod for the motor, welding a balance tube as we speak, after thats finished i need to make a tank to run the three coolant line from the top of the intake manifold to the tank and then pull the rad out of the car and make another inlet on the top tank for the can to feed into.

im a few steps ahead of soem people

yes you are... which is not a bad thing.

ok one last question ( since your build thread is gushing at the seems with rants and trash talk ) the rb26 is cocked slighly sideways, at about 15 degrees.

If it stands upright perfectly straight... by changing that motor mounts brackets... does that cure some of the breathing issues in the head?

If I can get an rb26 to run reliably and make power.... im going to get one.

if you dont mind your shifter moving that same 15 degrees away from you. Remember, you are'nt just rotating the engine.

I'd take the GT-R.I love the body style (Can't stand any of the previous versions, don't understand a love for what looks like a spiffed up Camry), and it's technically interesting.The Vette? No thanks.I love Vettes from '63 to '74, after that, not so much.

It doesn't really, but that's what comes to mind with those body styles. I just can't stand the design...even though the performance and ability to trick them out is very impressive.

Here's what I see (again it just blinks to mind)

USMC-well not actually, i think they were chaging something in the transmission, some ecu tunning and make it ligther. i cant remember all the details. ill try to find out and post them

It's a lighter weight vehicle with special wheels and paints, different brake system (I think) and some carbon bits.That's it.

USMC- yes and its has full ceramic brakes that cost a 45K the brake job,ouuuuchh

I don't see how that gonna help make up that much of a time loss on the Ring.


USMC- well i would say since its ligther and properly driven it migth do a better time, well just have to wait and see. check the post that i did about the new time

humor level of that post on a scale of 1-to-the sticker price of a GT-R
