Ive recently picked up an rb25de and gearbox and am weighing up my possibilities.

Becuase I was disqualified from driving, I will come under the new P plate laws so I wanna build a quick NA car.

SO i was wondering if anyone can shed any light on a vl rb30 bottom end with the 32 non turbo engines top end.

Some questions I have are, what needs to be modified

how much will it cost

what power figures will it produce

quarter mile times?

If other people have done this and arent happy with the results please let me know so I don't waste my time and money

try a search.. there is meny threads about this.

both me and dondensoto have built this. plus i think there is another 1 or 2 guys floating around but i cant rember there user names.

cost depends on how much you do yourself and how far you go wtih building it.

quickness - mine can keep up with 150kw r32 gtst and similar cars plus some other more powerful and lighter cars.

is it worth it.. depends what your wanting from it and what you want to spend. if your wanting to build a super quick NA car get a honda

if your wanting a torquy, fun engine with plenty of power that revs pretty quick with the rb sound then this is what you want.

head will bolt staright on to vl bottom end.

i dont think it was a waste of $$ at all.

    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
    • 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.
