very impressive solution shane. Are they equivalent pressure on the bearings as the standard girdle? what price?

thanks duncan, it's taken alot of hours and money to make it :(

im not sure what we'll torque the studs to at this point, thats something i've gota talk to mick about. would u reckon giving more clamping pressure on the bearings a good or bad idea? or would u say try and get near to std specs as possible.

it uses rb26 headstuds as the mainstuds aswell (couldnt find an M11 ARP the right length)

Price is $2000 including all nuts/bolts & a 3mm MS template to tap/recess the block

hey shane what would you charge for a adapter like that?

for the girdle? with it fitted into a block thats been machined to suit, youd be looking around the 3k mark (including main studs)

i've got my machinist (different one to who machined the girdle in the pics above) quoting up on it so wont know definate prices til i hear back from him

also i would prefer to sell the whole block/crank/billet girdle as a whole machined to suit, rather than the girdle by itself, as there is ALOT of intrikit (sp) machining and measuring to be done to get it to fit properly

P.S im now getting the adapters done on the cnc out of alloy, so thats why i ahvnt gotten back to you about them yet, next week i will know pricing om them :D

which 4wd rb30 block? not sure how the patrol transfer case was handled, to be honest I assumed it did not have the front drive running through the sump (which is really the problem with 4wd vs rwd)

rb30 only ever came in vl commonwhore (rwd), r31 (rwd), patrol (4wd but different I'm 99$ sure) and some gas powered forklifts in jp.

rd28 was also 4wd like the rb30 patrol.

but in all cases I am pretty sure the 4wd sump wiith driveshaft and diff does not bolt on.

I've finally got my billet girdle finished!

It has the adapter encorporated in it. This also means my 4wd adapter plates are good to go aswell :laugh:

just thought i'd post an update:

the engine with this girlde had a turbo failure at the mid week track day and the motor has been pulled down.

the mains were looked at and there is not 1 sign of cap walk! ;)

Hey boys has any one lowered the rb30/26 so the bonnet closes in a r32 gtr

meaning weather you spaced the xmember or modified the engine mounts

thanx in advance

hehe, grab the engine mounts from a LD28 powered laurelor R31 skyline station wagon, because of the deck hieght on the block the engine mounts are shorter,

the Rb30 was a australian only model in the r30, r 31 skylines and the last of nissan's 3l stocks were sold to GMH to power the 1987 holden commodore as this was a cheaper option then trying to engineer a new motor to come in under australia's exhaust emmisions laws as the 202 would never pass.

the patrol runs a live front axle this block could be used aswell as that from a vl or early skyline

3l gxe nissan station wagon for example.

the only major difference between the blocks of that era are the deck hieght and stroke,

i used the rb30 block and crankshaft from a vl, to replace the *$&%ed 26 block from my gtr

had the block honed and faces machined, the crank machined and balanced, oversized bearings, new rods and pistons.

everything pretty much was a straight swap, the sump, pick up , etcetc,....

ran fine still does now, however i had the problem of shutting the bonnet too.

it was an old retired mechanic who told me what engine mounts to try. i would have never have known other wise and probably would have had to get a custom bonnet made.

This is interesting! Any idea how much shorter they are? Obviously there is only so far you can lower it before the sump hits the cross-member, particularly once the 10mm 4WD adaptor plate is in there too..

Did you have to cut anything from your bonnet - or nothing at all? And are you running twin low-mounts still?

pm,ed leigh ref replacement kit as i have a buyer for mine.

thinking of going t4 flange and twin scroll.

leigh suggested gt4088r or 4294r

not sure what rears to use on either, or spooling times on either too?.

Hey guys, just for your interest, mine was the engine with turbo failure (moral: always ask to see the receipts for "new" turbos). Just about to begin the process of running it in, should be having an early power tune next week. Will keep you posted as to what it ends up with. Running standard garret T28/40's, low mounted. For those thinking of the conversion from a gtr, its a very different beast to drive. If you like your car to feel light and punchy, imho stick with the rb26.

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
