Worlds fastest RB30, RIPS 240z 7.89 @ 175mph

[TrollinWithMyVorpal]

0:46 FTW.

[Eroc115]

WOW THAT WAS A WICKED LAUNCH

[ColtonKuhn1]

it looked like it spun for a couple milliseconds to long at the start

[RIPSNZ]

@ColtonKuhn1 Yep, we had a better 60ft and were quicker and faster in the left lane.

[ColtonKuhn1]

@RIPSNZ was it human or machine error?

[RIPSNZ]

@ColtonKuhn1 just more grip in one lane over the other

[demonsticator666]

Does the side of the car say cocaine???

[Orangys280Z]

@demonsticator666 Yeah, it does. For Cocaine Energy Drink.

[OGmr420]

this car is on cocaine im tellin ya!

[3rushma]

is it possible to make a 10,000 rpm street rb30?

[RIPSNZ]

@3rushma pretty much anything is possible with the right budget, we run 9000-9500 regualrly with street 30s so it wouldn't be too hard, the question is WHY do you think you'd need 10,000rpm in a street car?

[Wrulol]

@RIPSNZ

Because rippin mainies at 10 000rpm is where it's at

[dalev100]

@RIPSNZ just wondering why you run the 30 rather than 26?

[RIPSNZ]

@dalev100 because its easier and more reliable at the power levels I run, there's no issue with rpm and they make alot more torque.

[jhbonarius]

Woo :s shaking at the end... this this looks unstable.

[skidpiggy]

yeww vl

[lovewir3]

I could run faster....

[athenitas02]

Sponsered by Cocaine!.......No wonder.

[shinzantetsu]

The RB30,what car is that engine from???

tommy kaira??

[nrajcoomar]

What Octane Petrol was it running

[RIPSNZ]

@nrajcoomar C16

[scootbmx01]

fukin hell that is the most brutal rb30 eva!!

+999999999999999999999999999

[tbonedlive]

fuck yeah!

[MrRotormaster1]

Probably a silly question, but do you guys run it down the 1/4 mile on petrol? If so, why?

[RIPSNZ]

@MrRotormaster1 Yes we run petrol as we feel there are to many disadvantages in running meth, we can easily make enough power etc and this same engine is now running 7.20s @ 185+ on petrol in our other car.

[CleverDjembe]

@RIPSNZ

isn't meth illegal?

[RIPSNZ]

@CleverDjembe Illegal for what?

[CleverDjembe]

@RIPSNZ

umm.. like an illegal drug? but I don't know about its use in cars.

[RIPSNZ]

@CleverDjembe Not quite sure what your on about but this car has never run on methanol (alcohol) its always been on petrol.

[gameboss100]

i wonder if i can buy a r34 just to get a 1000hp motor in it

[gameboss100]

i wonder if shes streetable



[RIPSNZ]

@gameboss100 It was down to very low 8s then we put slicks on it and a water/air intercooler with a different front. I use to drive it around town and pull wheelstands, great fun :-)

[RIPSNZ]

@gameboss100 The same engine is now in a 7.2 second car still running on petrol and we could pull it straight out and put it in a street car with no changes, no problem.

[pedrotski2007]

@RIPSNZ do it, you know you want to

[TheChopperLine]

Damn I would have loved to see you guys drop the extra weight and ship it over to aussie before you started the FED. Times im sure would have been obliterated

[RIPSNZ]

@TheChopperLine Cheers, yeah Reece from HT racing was sure we'd have run 7.50-7.60 pretty easy in Aussie and I would have loved to have had a go but unfortunatly we didn't have the budget to do it.

[DVcustomZ]

@RIPSNZ What tranny and rear end are you guys running in there. Also is COCAINE your sponsor??

[RIPSNZ]

@DVcustomZ TH400 and 9 inch. the NZ distributor "was" a sponser but he broke our contract so I have nothing more to do with them anymore.

[brapboys503]

Fucking nuts.

[staircast]

Oh fuck!!! what kind of rear end you got in there?

[ambis99]

Holy fucking fuck of fucks!!!! Did you hear that sound when he launched??????

[didderson]

I would be scared to drive that thing within 300ft of any obstacle. Good job man amazing Z!!!

[masterkronixster]

dats how we do in rotos

[7kingduffy77]

best is end

[rudysthill]

jeeeeez ahhaahhahaah RIPSNZ put a rb30 in a datsun 120y ahhaahahaha now that would be fuking scary loooooooooool we have alot of 120y here in trinidad.

[wassup111112]

is the the "easy 8s" 240z from NZ??

Does Rips stand for "Rotorua Import Pro Shop"? or something like that?

[RIPSNZ]

Yep, you can see the EZY 8 plate behind the parachute if you pause @ 15 seconds and your correct with what RIPS stands for.

[TTSWOWPS]

RIPS can tune the RB30 in my R31 any day lol...

[MultiRocknrollfan]

lol the car has nice name :p

[javier300nissan]

come to (puerto rico) you can see faster car... and low bodget....

lazcano racing.

cesar febus 7.8

oso racing.

[karrde7777]

post a vid

[captivated22]

POOR WHEEL BAR

[Zx280xZ]

O.O gotta be on my favorites this one man!

[barthoedemaker]

Tiny? That's a monster man. Straight 6 engines are about the best engines you can get. Perfectly balanced, and lot's of rpms = hp. Offcourse they miss a part of the torque of a V8, but they are smaller and lighter. Ideal for racing.

[aus2045]

Not bad for a tiny little jap street car engine.

[auxiliarypimp]

Just watch again and again

[nahmateyourdreamin]

who said kiwis couldnt fly? haha NZ REPRAZENT, good job boiz :D

[takulovesanime]

How many G forces do you take during acceleration rob?

[RIPSNZ]

Peek is about 1 3/4 G and it averages about 1 G for the whole run.

We did a 7.86 @ 177,4 yesterday so chipping away at it.

[takulovesanime]

very nice.

[messos]

is this car street legal? not right? o.0

[RIPSNZ]

Not in full street trim when we ran 7s but it was fully road legal at mid to low 8s.

[messos]

lol.. crazy man. really good job! keep up the great work =)

[DVcustomZ]

why are you all so selfish with the rb30 let us get some of that LOL

[heepsyboy]

AWESOME WELL DONE ROB

[deefke]

well done!!!3 thumbs up!!

[buymeaskyline]

Jesus christ, just realised how fast 7.89 is lol. Those record breaking gt-rs were only hitting 7.5\7.6. A 7.89 on a fully street legal machine, insane!

[RIPSNZ]

Cheers for the support, the car is actually 217kg over weight too, if I stripped it to minimum weight for the class, based on our results so far, it would probably be around 7.4 @ 185 but I'm keeping it so it can stay on the road for the new owner who ever that may be.

[mudpuppy4life]

how mutch can yall get out of the inline 6 that came stock(non-turbo)?

[wheyez]

about 320hp

[Nizking]

YEAH BABY! Proud to support you and your dedicated team. Well done Robbie! Just wish you would reconsider selling it and holding on to it for promotional events and of course owning the Worlds Fastest Road Legal Bill Board for R.I.P.S. Enterprise. Well there is room for expansion isn't there? Anyway I wish you well for the future for you and your team. And may you produce more RBeautifull works of wonder and power. R.I.P.S. Rulz!

[calaisgod]

Go the Kiwis !

[blayzzz]

RIPS are kings of the RB30.

[WSRBOY]

is your car still run on pump gas? or did u change it to get you in the 7's

[RIPSNZ]

Depends what you call "pump" lol, we have a big drum of C16 and we pump it out of there into the car, does that count? lol. We've never used meth or a blemd of meth, always petrol.

[WSRBOY]

haha that's close enough. Congrats on your 7 second pass looking forward to seeing more

[philiproyds]

Robbie

I reiterate our congratulations on achieving this stunning result. The feedback form you and your tuner, Jason (Infomotive) has been invaluable in our development of the G4 Engine Management system and it is gratifying to have our ECU's ability so publicly and ably demonstrated.

Your engines are world class and will now be recognised as such.

We are very excited about your next project.

Thank you Phill for all your support over the last few years, the next project is well underway and we'll have to have a catch up real soon to discuss details,

LINK ECU's Highly reccomended...

Robbie Ward.

[freakazoid333333]

Go Rob ;)

Now put that engine in a decent chassis

[BustedKP60]

Finally got there Rob, well done. Cant wait to see what you do with the rail

[RBSLYDR]

well done robbie, that thing just gets faster and faster

[plumwerks]

Excellent stuff Rob.
