Hi guys, most of yas all seem to know wat ur on about with regards to skylines/vl's (RB engines) so heres my situation.

I have a VL Berlina 87 model, have a large ass bore throttle body on it that my father made for me, CAI with a pod hangin off it and 2.5" straight through. Extractors, stage 2 cam and head work (courtesy of my father) will be getting done soon and it should be pretty beasty. Its strangely fast now as it is haha but i want faster.

He did an engine for a guy who had stage 2 cam on an RB30ET and he cant remember wat ECU he used for it. Wondering if you guys new wat i could use for one to cope with an RB30E with a stage 2 cam in it, and preferably not a whole ECU set up, rather a piggyback comp or something easier and simpler...

Any suggestions welcome,

Thanks guys

Josh

I'm not sure.. But I want to hear this thing :rolleyes:

apexi SAFC? or powerchip?

something like that.. there's a handful around - just comes down to what is easiest to tune, and if there's anyone in your area that can... no point buying something and having to take the car interstate just so someone can throw it on the dyno to tune.

Alright thanks man, I will run that by one of the guys at a dyno shop around here. But i've been told there pretty useless mothers workin those dynos so i might have to travel to try and find a not-shit dyno mob. But still they might be able to get that gear in and be able to tune it (hopefully).

Is that all i will need though to suit the stage 2 cam?

Thanks guys,

Josh

It depends if you just want the motor to "cope" as stated in your original post, or if you want to be able to squeeze every last little bean out of it.

I'm running a stage 3 equivalent in my RB30e with standard ECU, so there's no reason why the stock ECU wouldn't cope with a stage 2, providing the timing is properly adjusted to suit.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
