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 ????

    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
