why is everyone strung up on the damn strut brace.

Make new ends to offset the bar across the engine to clear the tb.

If your building the engine, you have to cut and weld the engine mounts, so whats hard about making new strut ends at the same time??

possible issue with making the strut brace higher is that i know my strut brace had rubbing marks on it from the std bonnet.. so i know i wouldn't be able to make the strut brace higher ..

saying that i am hoping i wont have an issue with the plazmaman front facing plenum.

yeah my rb30s now fitted. i didnt need to mod the engine mounts. just a slight hammer on one of the under bonnet supports. looks damn sexy.

should have it running on thursday :(

now only if it would stop raining so i could go outside and finishd changeing the fuel pump :)

yeh but how rigid is it going to be ?

I haven't seen any pics either.

See pic below, can't move it forward with the RB25DET head, have to go right back against the firewall.

Useless...

Same as the bar was before, or make it better. :blink:

I havent posted pics, but whats so hard to picture about it??

Your simply offsetting a bar forward, not making great structural changes

This is what came out of the rb20det gearbox + lots and lots of large chunks of teeth, be buggered fishing them out of that stinky oil. :O

Drain Plug

The back of the tooth where it broke

The mesh side of the tooth, looks as if the engaging gear was really digging in and not meshing with the whole tooth. :S

The new box is very very quiet.. Feels quite strange, like a new car. :P

Thats a fatigue failure as you can see from the close curved lines across the broken face and the rough area to the other side of the break.

Starts somewhere about where I've marked as best as I can discern from the photos.

Just couldn't handle no more Cap'n

This pic illustrates the close curved lines a little better.

Sorry Geoff.. I don't follow the Cap'n... :O

Do you mean repeated high load that attempts to and may very well slightly bend the teeth every time?

A little like breaking a coat hanger by bending it repeatedly.

So definitely rb30 related?

Can't go forward.

There's nothing between the induction pipe and the bonnet.

Running a bar behind the BOV is too bigger an offset.

It will flex under load i.e USELESS.

What head do you have ?

Gees you got that in quick !

What did you pay for it ?

ive got the 25de head, and you can move it forward.

edit/ im not going to argue about it, but in a 32 it will fit

hey guys...my rb20 just blew up..and im considering doing this conversion as i have heard its a great upgrade....just one question though...i have a rb20det power fc...but if i do this conversion i want to run the rb26 head...will my power fc work with this head (i dont mind if i have to rewire a few things) i already have modded the wiring loom for stock gtr injectors. any help would be good

cheers

It will work fine providing you stick with a single afm.

The only sensor that 'may' not be used is the intake air temp sensor, I am not 100% sure what pin or if it indeed can be used with the rb20det pfc.

SK has said it has or can be done? Not completely sure.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
