A 26/30 will be less laggy then any other rb, if you could buy a "new" rb30e and put a "new" rb25 head on it, and make 160-200rwkw, there is no reason it wouldnt last 300,000 if the tune was ok. Once you want big power, it changes, but only if you start stressing things beyond their capabilities, ther are a couple of 300rwkw rb30det's on here that have lasted longer than 60,000 and showing no signs of distress. If you have 400rwkw and thrash it every day, then it will last as long as an rb25 with the same power.

Consider I bought a previously unopened RB30 bottom end. All stock. Then I got a near new RB26 head, still with stickers on the heads lower surface and had been in plastic for a while with almost no carbon in the combustion chamber. Built with H beam rods and 9:1 comp pistons, without receiving the boost it makes on the twins (basically kept atmo for run in) it makes 160rwkw.

What do stock 25's make? Wait till this baby gets 18psi.......

Lag? I don't think so!

As with any question you might ask without giving enough detail. It depends. Put a V8 Mack truck turbo on and yes it will lag, but the right turbos for the application then it will be lethal.

Hi Geoff, do you remember what sort of revs yielded the 160 rwkw?

Cheers

I'm not reading 260 pages worth of stuff, when from what I've read so far of it (about 10-15 pages in) is mainly people going "OMG, that's great, I plan to do that too"

It seems more of an RB30 chatter then a technical guide

yes you just run an external oil feed to the gallery from your OPS feed. T piece from either the ally heat exchanger or from the bunged hole in the block and run it to a newly tapped hole in the front inlet side of the head where you can see a tube like casting running up the head to the inlet camshaft area. Make the fitting thats in the head feeding the gallery to have about the same size hole as the std feed from the rb25 block which i think is something like 1.6mm....but im probably wrong.

Though this is probably the biggest thread in the tech section, it would definetely have the most tech info available. Sometimes the chatter is techinical :thumbsup:

Mark I don't really remember. I just asked him to tune it to start and run at 60, 80 and 100 so I could run it in.

I'll be getting the bov and boost control sorted so I can have the tune redone soon. Should be interesting. Then it's time to throw it back at the track.

BTW I'm on skype, geoff.williams89 if you feel the need to chat sometime.

Hey Geoff

Did you get the cam gears installed ?

I got the 3.5 inch exhaust done last week, just finished installing a new 10mm fuel line, with new outlet on the tank cap today also.

So booking a tune in as soon as Matts available.

Trevor at custom exhaust specialists said I should pick up 20 - 30 rwhp on same boost with the new exhaust as the old 3 inch would have been maxed out. So looking at over 500 rwhp on 18 psi. But I want to tune it until it pings on 100 ron and then back her off a bit.

Will keep you posted.

PS. Hope your gonna blow or turbo the XR8, otherwise you are going to be very disappointed with the NA V8 :-)

No I've been busy since moving into the new place but maybe later this week.

The Falcon will stay pretty stock. If I want jollies that's what the GTR and racecar are for. Never try to make a silk purse from a sows ear. The ute is for towing a boat and racecar and work.

That thing of yours just keeps getting better mate.

Thats right - I forgot about the boat. Now I understand.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • 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?
