Hey guys..Just want to see what everyones opinions are.I have a 240z with a rb25/30 gt35r 1.06 exh,external gate,microtech,greddy plenum,injectors etc etc.Its stock internals but rebuilt with race series bearings,linished rods etc.Its making just a tad over 500rwhp...

The car is about to twist its self in half.That much power is unusable in a rwd not to mention dangerous in a car weighing 1020kg.I could put slicks etc on but i dont really race it its just a cool street car so i dont want to.

I have been trying to sell my 32 gtr for a while now and the market is dead.For the prices ive been offered id rather just keep it and put the 240z gear in it.

Question is,do i put the 30 bottom end in (with the 26 head) and all the other gear (turbo,injectors,microtech etc) OR just freshen up the 26 and put the turbo etc on it.I love the torque of the 30 but i love the revs of the 26.Never driven/been in a 26 with decent size turbo/s etc (mine has n1's and they suck!).

does the 4wd block adapter have any problems?how strong is the 30 block in 4wd form.obviously it will have more stress on it than in 2wd.

Opinions?

Strengthen up the 240Z, they are notoriously flexible. Particularly the C pillars. Put some decent suspension in it and it will be fine. After all its only 100kgs lighter than my R32GTST which has 600+ rwhp.

:( cheers :woot:

rb30 blocks have known to break under the stress the front diff acting on it, the 26 block has extra webbing to support the torque of the front diff but then again there are gtrs out there with the rb30 block that go well with around 100hp more at the same boost than the rb26, ur defintely not wrong about loving the way the 26 revs, many people do lol

      R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
