hi, im finding it hard to get someone to build my rb30det. Alot of mechanics i have heard good things about are to busy and have up to a six month wait!!! so could anyone recommend anyone who i could get to build this motor?

I already have the rb25 head, 30 bottom end, forged pistons, rings, revs h beam rods, turbo and some other little things, i want it to be capable of producing over 500hp, so i need some who really knows what they are doing, so any sugestions would be much appreciated.

thanks

Do you want the engine built and you (or someone else) fits it to the car?

Or do you want it built and fitted?

If you just want a machine shop to build the engine I may be able to help, PM me for details.

:D cheers :)

MRC @ castle hill, used to work at UAS to

Had a VL with somthing like 430HP @ the wheels, rb30 with 25 head.

Also rebuild my RB30DET putting out 330HP @ the wheels with a shitty auto box.

If the recommendation came from someone like Mark then go for it :D

Yes, great mech.

Like i said, got him to rebuild by RB30det when it blew, it was due for it. Was running 17PSI with stock internals apart from a cam with 235K's on the clock. one day while driving my gear box f#cked up and the car just reved out as the rev cut was not set on the microtech. Then came the smoke, HAHA.

Got it rebuilt with tomei head gasket, arias pistons etc...

mark now owns a couple of XR6's, one turbo putting out arround 3XXkw @RW

Anyho....

BLITZ- a guy who was a mechanic for rick shaw, he seems to know what he is talking about

plus ive heard of people making big reliable power and still using standard rods, and you would think REV would be better then stock rods!

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
