what do you think about s13 utes??

[kouki munster]

We didn't get any rb power cars in the states period.

Yeah our s-chassis cars got the ka24e/de, they are like a big block, they make good torques but they usualy run out of steam around 5.5k rpm.(+/- 500rpm)

[nissan_star]

I think it is dope man!! I think the paint matches the style of paint that someone would put on an el cam. so it looks in place.

[skinny]

the new stock ratings were 140hp for the sohc ka, and 155hp for the dohc ka. they're good reliable motors that can handle decent boost before the need for forged internals.

we never got the rb30 over here, but i'd love to have one. actually, we didn't get any rb's or rwd sr's here.

really??wow.rb's are plenty full here.i think almost every1 has a rb20 lol bt the 30 is the ultimate motor,far better than a 26 even and stronger.i brought my 30 block for like 300bux and then all you need is a rb25 head,to make it twin cam and thats 300hp n/a and buckets of torque.ive always been interested in the ka.we only get them in nissan vans lol.could always send 1 your way lol.

[kouki munster]

You want a ka motor set? I'll trade it to you for a p12 sr20ve or a sr20vet out of the x-trail.

[spolitte]

+1 ^^^

I was just talkin with a friend on skype who is thailand. He has been driving a cefiro around out there and I told him I would send him a KA24 if he would send me his rb25... don't think he's gonna take me up on that offer, but if you are lookin for a nice KA engine skinny....

[skinny]

Nice car man! Welcome to the Nico!

Ilovemyrhs13 totally deserved that. When is he gonna realize he can't say stuff like that. He's got a flat black hatch with a busted up qp and a sohc

Only people with cool cars can get away with bashing on people. ex,BrianHarte and violentrunning13.

Sad but true

thanks man.ive been meaning to join since i started building it.sounds like hes got a gem lol

i'd donate the ka out of my s14 for an rb30 to drop in my s30. hell, you can have the l26 out the datsun too.

if you guys find out how much shipping is i could send you some good engines.especially since you have the better currency lol.if you go to http://www.trademe.co.nz and search for the motor your afta.but the only thing i wana get from you guys at the momment is a s13 convertible coz we dont get them and i like being different.plus why are your cars so cheap??you shud look and see how much our silvias are on trademe

[skinny]

i gotta head off and do some christmas shopping with my son now,but it was kool chatting.wot tym are you guys usually on??we are a day ahead of america and its only 9:30am so i will try figure out wen you guys are on mostly lol

[matzinm2]

If I may put in my two cents,

1: Good luck shopping for your son,

2: Very well done, although, like everyone else, paint = meh but +27 for how well it was done

HOWEVER: It matches that phase that Australia went through, what's the name of it? It's like the drift style of japan mixed with VIP style wheels... It was like two years ago I was in Aussieland and saw that style everywhere, just forgot the name. 3. What kinda sound are you blasting through those 6x9's/ 12's?!

You REPRESENT!

Ok, hes not joking on the engines. Hopped on and in about 5 minutes I found a rebuilt RB30DET with a r32 rb25de head for 800nzd. Next bid has to be 1200 nzd, but thats only like $850 after conversion. And the auction ends in 8 hrs... The biggest downside I see to this is that this engine doesnt come with a turbo manifold or wiring loom as well as a few easier to get and cheaper parts (coils, injectors, alternator). So, I gotta ask, who's got some plans for a s30 or something of that sort, cuz maybe its time to get your plans rolling

[skinny]

yea dude,like i said we have plenty lol.in nzd $250 gets you a manifold,between $700-1800 gets a aftermarket computer then you ditch the old one and have to rewire anyway and a turbo...well i think you guys wud have better turbos.throw in some bigger injectors and get a tune and depending on turbo youve got between 400-600hp on standard internals but i wud go forged for anything over 500hp myself.sounds crazy but thats why 30's are awesome.ofcourse everyone has different opinions about it overhere,and if they read this may say its on its limits for that power but as long as you have the afm mixtures sweet on your computer you cud run id say 18-21psi ok on it

heres some pics of it being built



wen i started i put the 180 front on but then went the original way



strengthining took place









and this is my s14 and sil80 with rb20det

[safin]

you sir have a nice collection of 240'sand the pic of the chicks it says this is my sound system under it and i thought you rolled around with them in the back and they would sing for you haha

[rbforsale]

why did you put rb 20 valve covers and timing cover on the "rb25" in the ute?looks good as hell, was thinkin bout doing the same thing, but to labor and time intensive for me.

i didnt.i used a r32 rb25de and turbo'd it.the reason i used the r32 is because that head goes on top of the rb30 block no issues.if you use a r33 block you have to muck around with the galleries i believe.since i was gona do the 30 conversion,thats why i used a r32 motor.plus they are only $400 lol

[S13_love]

+1 for the cleaness of the conversion.+1 for an overal clean car+1 for a nice engine bay+1 for the hard work

and +1 for the paint... I like it.

Very nice job on the car man.

[OM3GA]

Sweet.

[s13_chris]

Sorry dude but unless this is your girls car -1!!!

i know sad,but the wheels on my sil80 belong to my s14,i had to swap them over for a warrent of fitness.but it was my daily driver back then.im not a huge fan of chrome wheels but when you need tyres with tread and they are free...

[barefoot mat]

i'll tell ya what i think about s13 trucks: dumb, gehy, stupid, waste of fabrication. and for godsakes, why the f*** are you useing a s13 to tow/haul s*** with? it's not like your ever gonna pull a drag car or a drift car with it. (well mabey, depending on your familys history of limited intellects)

Lol, good stuff.

Also makes me think back to when my buddy and I were 16 and towing our lawn mowing equipment around on the back of a ford taurus with a 1" hitch. Worked wonders, was cheaper than buying a truck, plus it was a big upgrade to our pre-drivers license days, which was driving our tractor around the mountain with one person sitting in the 3' x 4' tow along trailer right next to the weedwhackers, gasoline, and other equipment.

wtf dude,I dont know what your into or your hobbies,maybe you just love your cousin too much..woteva you do.but its handy as hell.i can take it camping,my bmx fits mint in it for when i wana go to the track.its awesome for when me and my mates go to the beach coz you can put a tarp in the back and fill it with ice and beer or the bbq.and in the future i myt buy a jetski.but its being different and standing apart.i askd for feedback not to be bagged.learn the difference between critisism and being a c*m stain

Worst post I have ever seen. Have fun with your 4x4 status hatch... Whether it be your taste or not at least admire the work that goes into such a project...

[240sxJoe91]

Not to bad...Not a fan of the paint..But its your car...

[barefoot mat]

i knew id get hate for that comment, but the question was what do you think about utes (trucks). if you do stuff to that requires a pickup, than get a pickup. its kinda simple.

oh, and the roads where i live are s***. so yes, i like my 4x4 stance. if i had a daliy i would slamm the crap out of my hatch.

and pardon me for trying to find the best deal on wheels.
