I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Kiwi-Built RB30 Big Single
Long thread, but worth it if you have the time. If you have aspirations of owning your own shop, shoot for this (R.I.P.S. of New Zealand) as par.

There's videos to watch in there as well, be sure to check them out.
Note that I found this while looking for HKS Kansai carbon kevlar engine covers for the junk drawer, I'm not actively searching for RB30DET'd cars.

[quote="SoloTwo"]Awesome, those 400cc's really make it sound like a poopra. ]Yeah. The overwhelming response is that drivability is greatly improved. That sounds nice. The most impressive bit is that it's on a stock RB26 head.

No, if you read the thread you'll see that they're slowly breaking it in. Also it's a stock head.
