i had a td07s low mounted on a trust manifold, could only fit it withthe rb30 bottom end that worked well, i just changed for a hi mount and front facing plenum

ben...

Did you have any heat related problems. In my engine bay, there's cabling and air-con fridge lines nearby.

What sort of power did you get then compared to now.

Did you keep the TD07S.

Sorry to blast you with so many questions.

Regards.

weally!! no s$^t! and what would that be? you guys must have some idea what your going to use if your building these engines! sheesh! :(

I don't know what your power level would be.

Exactly as I said.. One to suit your power level; being a larger motor doesn't make a difference to exhaust selection.

Airflow = power. Push more boost in to a smaller motor or make it rev higher and yer.. more power so bigger exhaust.

See.. It was a silly question. :D

What is your power goal?

2.5" is generally ok for 200rwkw.

3" for up to 300rwkw

3.5" for over 300rwkw

All though you can still push a 3" to 350rwkw. :(

Fair enough thats all I wanted a straight up answer we arnt all mechs

I'm far from a mech. Reading and a little bit of visualisation is all I have done.

So... what is your power goal? :)

Sorry didn't mean to come across a smartass,

not sure of my power goal yet, recently blew my RB25DET and i thought instead of just dropping in another stock engine might aswell do the upgrade so Im just asking around to see how much its going to cost me, not in a hurry Ive got another car to drive so probably gonna rip out the old engine and respray the whole car while the new engines being built but just looking at prices at the moment.thanks for your input

ive got some acl bearings here and didnt know they came in oversize. those ones will work and work well, acl are known for their bearings

the acl pistons are actually made by ross in the states so are good also

Just a quick question about the water pumps..

if you use the RB25 one, the bolt pattern is different.. is it just that one bolt hole thats slightly different?

do you just not bolt that one hole? or is there something you can do to get it to fix?

i remember seeing a pic of one with an elongated hole so it would fit both... just cant seem to find it.

cheers

Ok, bit of an obscure question, I am pretty much sold on the rb30det, and I have always loved the shape of the 300zx, I have seen a few pictures of z's with an rb26, so similar things have been done before, but is this a match made in hades? or will it be a case of a few custom engine mounts, bolt up the gearbox, some piping ect... Baisically would it be possible for a backyard mechanic?

Sorry if this question has been answered - I have only read about 60 pages of this thread so far :)

as the manifolds bolt to the head it should be fine. there is a note in the .pdf document that you need to modify the water galleries as they can foul on the manifold. you would need to test fit with your setup to see if this is required.

I read this whole tread a few weeks ago but but didnt bother to read the VCT info. Now I have a few questions as im now looking into an R33 head.....

1. After plugging up the VCT hold and redrilling it and making an external oil feed line etc, where do most people attach it to the block?

2. do aftermarket cams work with VCT?

3. Does the R32 RB25 head need extra bits welded on it to give more metal around the coolant galleries or is this just the R33 VCT?

Thanks,

Matt

Just buy a brass fitting a kind of t-piece (which in reality is just a cylender with a thread in the side) from VDO.

It will screw into your block where the oil pressure sender goes, you hook that into the end of the fitting, and use a bit of braided line to run a feed to the head.

Some aftermarket cams work with vct but they are very expensive.

And no the rb32 head doesn't need extra welds at the front.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
