i also just noticed that you said its a rb30et bottom end, if thats true then having a turbo bottom end with that head i possibly think could be worse than a bog stock rb20, i know its a big call but i think you could've wasted the little money you spent!

They have different compression pistons.

cheers, andrew!

Rb30et is 7:8:1 and rb30e is 9:0:1, he said he didn't touch the bottom end so that leads me to believe he is going to be a tad dissappointed with what he has!

the rb30 et block has oil squirters to cool the pistons.. the rb30 e does not.

Where did you hear this culater?

I've seen both a turbo and n/a block and they were identical apart from the pistons.

I bought the n/a one sitting next to it for $150.

I remember it was mentioned some time ago by some one who confused the bore/rod squirters or what ever they are called with the piston crown oil squirters.

The bore/rod squirters squirt oil on to the load side of the bore.

Not sure of the exact terminology.

the rb20 head has a smaller chamber but has been cc d it also has the turbo et bottem end so it should not be 7.8.1 it should work out around the 8.5 -9.0.1 witch should be great just gotta finish painting my bay then motor goes in and car goes down to boostworks

: >_< I'm afraid you've got it round the wrong way buddy, having the turbo bottom end with the turbo pistons will lower your compression, not raise it. I'd be guessing somewhere round the 7:1 mark which should be interesting to say the least!

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
