has anybody done this conversion with the rb25det head? if so i need help with it wat is needed for the prep of the block for it to go on and run properly and with the vct how will that work on the 30 block? if any body can help it would be greatly appreciated....thankx in advance please pm me or email me at [email protected]

Have done a couple of these now. There are a couple of places you can run the vct from but I think, ultimately the turbo oil feed will work best.

i reckon the ops feed is better...shorter length of line to run and it doesnt have to cross the front of the motor.....but it probably doesnt matter.

It is a good place to take it but I have had the problem of bleed off causing the oil pressure light to come on at idle...even though the pressure was fine.

Well I'm in the process of building a new engine for my R33. Now the engine that's going into it is an rb30 bottom end with an rb25na head. I'm after a high power engine, round the 500rwkw mark.

What RPM and boost levels are you thinking of reaching???

it'll prolly need around the 2bar for that type of power. i've changed cars to a gtr and hence doing the 26/30 conversion. limiter will be set around the ~8000rpm mark

After being a 'no so' proud owner of a VL commodore. I can say this much from what I've seen on Justcommodore's forum. The RB30 doesn't like going much past 6500 RPM. I could only advise getting a new crank, stronger ends/mains and somehow reinforce the bottom end, I don't know the exact term, but I know Mine's tuned RB26dett strengthened the bottom end of the RB26, if you want the RB30 to go past 6 1/2k, then somehow your going to have to do something similar...

big $$$$'s from what I can gather....

i'd just get an r33 rb26 and build that. The 26 will be able to get up to 500kw and probably cause you a lot less headaches along the way.

At least then you can have oil squirters as well which are pretty important if you want help maintain reliability in a high power setup.

when pushing the power you want out of a custom 26/30 engine the most important thing you need is someone who has already done it an got big reliable power.

they would know about the problems that can arise in these engines at big power numbers.

good luck

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
