I'm not saying thats what you should have done, by any means, I respect that you have pushed the rb30e this far some ppl get more satisfaction without 'cheating' so to speak with forced induction. I know i do, I'm a v8 man, and love my naturally aspirated 8s a vlt was just a quick alternative to power. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah wel i used to be the same..but really, my car goes perfect and pretty awesome for an NA so now i'd rather a reliable, show looking car myself..personal preference. and even tho u say u dont care about people recognising ur car for power, im sure u make the most of it whenever u could Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

if i had the money i'd do what my friend has started with his R31 and make an RB30 monster. RB30 bottom end with RB26 top end. Then slap a twin turbo setup on it. Wouldnt be to bad at all.
