MY R.I.P.S RB30 BUILD - Page 10 - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Superb work, keep us updated...

Well, While I have been off in Norway for a week, Rob et al @ R.I.P.S have been working miracles

The dummy engine is in the car for the mock up of all the parts, the plenum is a new design of Rob's and looks incredible...

The craftsmanship on this is unreal, all hand formed

This is going to be combined with an 80mm throttle, that looks like this..

And together they fill the engine bay rather nicely!

On other side of the engine Rob has done a custom bracket to allow the relocation of the power steering oil bottle as this allows greater room for the Turbo when that goes in. Even the bracket looks good!!

Work has also been continuing on the fuel system, since the last pics it has been polished up and dummy mounted as the carpet was sent away to be custom overlocked so it sits flush to the new system and looks factory fresh!

This shows you the extent of the service you get from R.I.P.S, not only do you get a one off build but all the little things are thought of as well

Will update more soon!

Cheers for looking ,

that's looking beautiful mate, the attention to detail is mind blowingly good!

sparks · 2nd May 2007, 10:51 PM

Cheers mate ,

in the mornings at the moment i am straight on the email to see if Rob has sent any pics during the night and then i just out and out harrass him on msn messenger.

It is like christmas everyday!!

Cheers Sparks

Very impressive attention to detail. I wouldn't hesitate to send a car out there based on what I've seen and read in this thread.

LukoPolo · 3rd May 2007, 03:39 AM

Everything looks 110%.This custom setup looks the part

As Durzel said i wouldn't hesitate to take my car there either.

silvermike · 9th May 2007, 09:19 PM

Your car is incredible, and I'm absolutely fascinated by this thread. All the best with the car, look forward to seeing the next update! T

Adam Kindness · 9th May 2007, 10:10 PM

it was threads like this that made me get in touch with Rob and sort out my fuel system

Cant fault RIPS what so ever so far. Its a breath of fresh air to be provided with updates/info rather the chasing with no outcome

DaleHarrison · 10th May 2007, 11:02 AM

Absolutely loving this thread

sparks · 10th May 2007, 05:53 PM

Thanks to everyone for your comments!!

Hope to update the thread later tonight when i talk to Rob.

Cheers Sparks

sparks · 10th May 2007, 09:47 PM

Yet again I have been blown away by the fabrication and design work of Rob and the Boys at R.I.P.S

The attention to detail is astonishing, when I spoke to Rob about the fuel system I made a general suggestion which was (1)Stealth and (2)Tough, Rob then said " I know what you mean, leave it with me." This is the outcome....

The whole system has been fully anodised black, this includes all fittings and the fuel filter

The attention to detail I mentioned comes in here, not only were the fittings for the fuel system colour coded but the Wastegate, Blow Off Valve and Fuel Rail were also stripped down and anodised too !!!!

Lots of work still to go, in the meantime the pics are more than enough!!!

Cheers Sparks

DeLa · 11th May 2007, 12:13 PM

haha, this is so good. Each time i dial in an expect it to be the top shelf, you pull another rabbit up the hat. That fuel cell looks nuts and as you say, attention to detail when stripping the WG, BOV etc down...

top$$ - can wait to see it done!

deef · 11th May 2007, 12:45 PM

Ex work, Better thread. Best of luck with her mate.

WIT BLITZ · 11th May 2007, 01:08 PM
