LOL of course I know you need to use Skyline parts - what I meant was whether the balancer has to be from a RB30, RB26 or RB25 or are they all interchangeable?

Keep it simple try not to think too much. :pirate:

I've said use the balancer that is suited to your ancillaries, so do just that. :ph34r:

All pulleys must match and line up. So... use the balancer that is matched to your ancillaries, that would be the balancer that came with the car.

Just to add to Cubes reply, You definitely wana keep it all the same.

VL's used two different Rb30 balancers (year specific/different belts).

I'm sticking with the VL setup -cheaper to replace pwr steer pump etc..

lucky, i just bought a sexy rb30 power bond harmonic balancer for my 25/30, lucky it still lines up then- i ditched the a/c tho as the balancer doesnt use it, one less thing to worry about.

my donk will start bein assembled this weekend and over the next couple, just dummied the head/block/plenum/turbo and ex mani up to see how everything lines up (pics below) and everythings sweet except the vvt oil feed which comes real close to the plenum. can anyone see any probs which i have missed??

also i heard that the block needs shaving on the ex side for the mani to fit, however mine was all good, is this normal??

It was a new one..however its just been rebuilt by Mr Turbo down the coast...so it should come back stronger and better.

Lucky there.

On the new motor we ran too tighter bearing clearances and the crank started picking up bearing metal and it clogged the oil feed line to the turbo..starved it of oil and bam...ball bearings in the dry sump tank! However that has now been rectified.

Well we plastigauged mains and big ends at 1.5 thou'or .030mm i think it would be if ive calculated that in my head right...rough enough maybe?

Need bigger for race motor with relatively big power, and doesnt get run in....gets built, straight on dyno and then raced.

I've got a RB30 block sitting on the floor infront of my RB25. I'm wondering if I should put a set a cams in it before i do the conversion? Sure you can make good power with the stock items..

But, is it a better option to do the cams and make a fatter power curve, or spend the money somewhere else?

I'm in 2 minds.. but leaning towards something like a pair of step2 HKS.

They will be fitted with adj gears. which I hope to buy very soon.

I want to make a strong power figure, but not so keen to have to pull 8000rpm to make it. Hence the conversion. I'm after about 420ish rear hp. got GT3040r. it should come on strong a bit earlier than the 35.

Am I thinking right?

cheers.

the right cams (not sure what they are) will certainly give you more low-mid power. However depends how big a cams u put in, you'll have to check the head and possibly get it machined to clear the lobes. Oh and you may also need heavy duty springs.

Also, it may be worth while spending the extra money and rebuilding the head and getting a light port job.

    • On 12th June, the mechanic could not figure out what the issue was, but the car seems to be flooding with fuel. He was suspecting the tune, thus referred me to a tuner. Although the tuner is not familiar with Nistune, last Monday (30th June), he came over to try and re-map it. Despite the tuner trying to completely stop fuel, it kept sounding like it was pushing fuel. Tuner ended up suspecting either the ECU or Injectors. I do not believe the ECU or Nistune is the issue, as the Nistune software reads and communicates properly. Today, I removed the (new) injectors to see if they are clogged or leaking. Surprisingly enough, after those 3 days of driving, injectors 2 and 3 look very blocked. You can see the difference in the picture. I blew a bit on 3, that is why it doesn't look as clogged as 2. I am still unsure if this is what is causing the no start issue, but I am now feeling that I may have bought the injectors and Nistune without the need to do so, as the problem seems to be coming from somewhere else.  
    • haha this shit box doesn't drink coolant, for now       Let me guess, they make heaps of power, use the car for straight line driving and don't care about noise
    • They’re so great that I know of someone pulling one out to go back to a sequential 
    • Hello everyone. I've recently started the research into R34 GTR front bits and running into eye watering prices. On the plus site it looks like some places make 'replacement' fender liners for these cars. At eye-watering-but-less than stock prices. I also noticed there's plenty of diffuser options available too. What I would like to know is if my following assumptions are correct. 1) The OEM guard liners are actually only 'half' the liner. They go together with the OEM brake vents which are a separate item which looks to be quite a large 'panel' that is part of the liner. The GTR bumper has bolt holes along the front. I assume the ones in the vent correspond to the ones the OEM liner does not have (circled?)   2) The V-Spec front diffuser supplants the brake ducts in the above item. I am assuming these still work with the guard liners as there's no alternate part that I'm aware of. I don't see how they go together, so I'm making the assumption that they have to, somehow. I know the center splash guard is different on the V-Spec (and is the price of the damn diffuser alone). How does the liner interact with this? 3) There's alternate front diffusers that do away with it all. Annoyingly, a lot of the clones and CF different ones... have no brake ducts on them. I like the idea of them though. My brakes get hot on the track. These alternate diffusers are a lot cheaper than plastic splash guards. I'm assuming you don't have to/aren't supposed to remove guard liners to run a diffuser. I suspect that quite a few people actually do not run the guard liner because with a front undertray you're getting a lot of 'splash' guarding anyway, and most people remove liners given they're probably running a pretty aggressive setup with a diffuser at the front. It would also be nice to know if anyone has ever run the 'reproduction' guard liners and know whether the fitment is OEM quality or "OEM Quality". Example: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/356254671561 https://carbonetics.net/products/nissan-skyline-r34-gtr-plastic-front-wheel-arch-set Is this knowledge still around?
    • Really, effort is pretty low. You hand fistfuls of cash over to someone else and pick it up when done...   And at least this shitbox isn't drinking coolant right?
