rb30 crank = shit according to the man building gtr-700 atm at croydon...iono if he wants me to spend 6-8g on a hks crank tho..

could be trying to get me to spend a bit...he said 26 crank is way better

Edited by thizzle

and why is revving higher a good thing? more fricton, more heat, more stress

you dont need to rev the rb30 to 8 grand, thats the point of it.

you can make more power at less rpm, the ideal combination

Go drag your knuckles eleswhere barbarians. Take your slow revving tractor engines, grab your straw hats and flanno shirts and go tractor pulling...push over a few cows while your at it.

The RB30 has never won anything. The RB20 won the ATCC :starwars:

Other then rego and cost, is there a disadvantage...Oh Nissan didnt give it us as a std motor :)

Haha groundhog day for sure. Hey 2BNVS who built your engine if you dont mind me asking? I've been interested in one for a while now, just looking for someone who knows what they are doing and some prices.

ahhaha nice call, who calls 7000rpm high revving anyway, my vs commo almost does that :)

go the high revving engines anyday personally, much more fun when planting out of corners and its hitting the limiter almost str8 away at 9000rpm+ :tongue:

checkout the supra vs mines gtr video and compare the revvy nature, and response/speed the rb26 hits redline compared to the supra 3L, no comparision ;)

sports engine vs torquey engine.

revs rule :(

yes revs rule so throw away these RB motors and fit a motorbike engine!!!! :yes:

Aaaaand (for Roy) there are plenty more bike engines with far more winning pedigree than any rb motor :P

RB20s do suck. I was in a a car with an L28 and it would blow the doors off my car, how old are they again. :confused:

I often wonder what the R32 GTSR would have been like if Nissan didnt invest so much money in the GTR to go Touring Car racing. Would it have had the GTR panels (alloy) with an evolution of the RB20, ie the GTRs solid lifters,6 throttle bodies etc? And kept it rwd to be in line with earlier Nissans which were light, mid power cars... Its a shame they built the thing to go Grp A racing, as i understand that if the capacity had exceeded 2.6L then it woudl have meant either a boost restriction or weight penalty...thats from a grey memory so dotn quote me on that.

I sit back and wait for the new GTR, a car that Nissan/Renaoult are building for a market, not racing. I suspect of the R32 wasnt for racing it would have used an engine bigger then 2.6L

As for talk about RB30s beign truck engines, its kinda funny. You look at M3s, some of the greatest 6 cylinder engiens gettign aroubnd, you read the reviews of its revvy nature etc...yet ppl seem to think dynamically the RB30 cant rev ????

    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.
