Ok , so from reading this im guess a rb30(n/a) bottom end will not just bolt straight in....

i have a rb25det (automatic) in a R33 gtst i dont wanna change driveline .

Will my box fit? will the engine mounts match ? its a great thread but im just looking to bolt on the rb30 bottom end without changing pistons and grinding galleries? is this possible???

thanks in advance

Im pretty sure all spigot bearings are the same. rb30, 25, 20 and 26 identical. Ask for an rb30 spigot bearing...chances of finding that are probably better as its from an australian car...some automotive stores dont know any better. Ask for a 26 and the list will only say rb30....and the pimple faced kid behind the counter will say 'sorry sir the computer only lists one for an rb30 out of a vl commondore, cant help you...'

Idiots...annoying sometimes.

RE: Belt sizes.

Just been looking on dayco.com.au, heaps of belt options.

94843: 153 teeth, STP8M pitch, 25mm wide (not that it needs to get any longer)

94407: 152 teeth, STP8M pitch, 25mm wide

94604: 151 teeth, STP8M pitch, 25mm wide

94777: 150 teeth, STP8M pitch, 23mm wide (this belt is equiv to gates t306,150 teeth)

94830: 149 teeth, STP8M pitch, 25mm wide (pretty much spot on for low low setup)

94109: 148 teeth, STP8M pitch, 25mm wide

94652: 147 teeth, STP8M pitch, 25mm wide (getting a bit short....)

Hope this helps a few people, Im gonna work out the best one for the low low tensioner setup for mine, will post up results.

hi guys i have these pistons

AP340754 Arias - Arias Forged Pistons Rb30 Non-turbo 86.5mm Bore Supplied With Rings

how good are they for this conversion???

what comp ration would it give with 1.5mm head gasket and rb25 vvt head?? and the block has been faced if that makes a big diff (not sure how much tho)

the non-turbo pistons are better for this conversion yee? or is that just the standard non-turbo pistons which are better??

whats teh differance in strength between the turbo and non turbo pistons?

Hey Scooby,

yeah, pitch is the same as std RB30 belt, Im 99% gonna use the 149 tooth option with the low low 2 tensioner setup. Gives that bit more clearance between tensioners. My local Repco doesnt stock dayco, gonna try get one tomorrow elsewhere.

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
