Well I want the bottom end to be bullet proof. Customising pistons through CP's is only an extra $200 from experience, so why wouldn't I go for that and have the peice of mind knowing that I push the motor to its limits.

No engine is "bullet proof"; otherwise the professional race cars, with their unlimited budgets, will make them :(

The only way round this is to make a 1000hp engine and only use 400hp :worship:

Hey guys im finding that when fitting the RB25 oil / water cooler onto the RB30 block that the filter fitting is quite loose over the RB30 filter thread. Any tips for removing the RB30 filter thread and fitting the RB25 o-ring setup for the oil / water cooler.

I'd prefer to keep it than just run it like the VL/R31 skyline setups.

if you do a search in this thread for my name you should find some info on it. i remember going through this dilema and i posted up some info, but i forget now and i ditched the std cooler arrangement :blink:

thanks shanef! been searching before posting a bit actually, but the answers seemed to point back at using the std RB30 setup which it looks like you've done. I know the RB25 setup can be done tho!

thanks

i just found out a couple of my valve guides in my head are split. Nothing major it happens sometimes thats why they make bronze sleeves for the valve guides. How crap is this Hi Octane are the only company i can find who sell them for rb25 head and they want $700 for them. ive got no choice but to pay it. Ahh so much money

Anyone using cooling pro intercooler from Just Jap? looking at the GTR style tube n fin, just wanted to know if the internals are any good or just a bit of shit? Anyone got one, or pics of inside one? Cheers!

Contact JHH performance ( they are in Bris ) - Im sure they can replace them for considerably less.

Cheers

umn so how do i get a compression ratio of 9 instead of 8.3...... i'm sure it's in there but i stopped reading at page 23... i read that using the N/A head will give me compression of 9? how is that so? the n/a head gasket?????

much appreciated.

i'v got an rb30 with only 105,000k's and intend to drop a 25 straight on. looking for about 500hp. if it blows up il put another bottom on!

    • Oh ok that makes so much sense. Thanks for clearing it up!
    • And these modern "environmentally friendly" EV vehicles also run on the same smoke! When the engine, wiring, or batteries let it escape it also stops running!
    • Yeah - I found the same information too.. 30% open is like 85% of flow etc. So it's probably going to be minor if not completely imperceptible. I also have a larger pod filter here, will swap that on and see if there's any difference. The hardest part is finding a place to uh, test this. It's quite noticable just how much having ducting to the otherwise completely open pod cools the intake temps down. It's better boxed, or shielded but driving for 30 seconds really makes it plummet to near ambient temperatures. I recall in the past when I was a RB land and had a nice flowing airbox -  - Then I took the lid off and put a pod there, and gained 9 psi of boost and about 60kw from the restriction I didn't know I had - with the controller at same duty cycle. However finding people using over the radiator intakes having similar KPA drops at WOT on built setups makes me think there restriction could be the exhaust or potentially the headers. Either way though, there's no real estate to play with and nothing that can realistically be done about it. The original dyno plot without the airbox, and the larger pod had a better curve. It was later I added the ducting and airbox, and a smaller pod to make it fit in there...
    • That's not completely truthful now is it? Any flex fuelled factory cars also had the option to run on steam.
    • Yeah so I guess your mechanic would know turnaround better than me....but I would have thought you had access to same day or overnight rack rebuilds there....any big city here in Australia has that service.   There are a couple of o-rings and seals involved, I guess the risk is the part is specific not general. Other option is if you can have it on stands in your garage for a while, steering rack removal is pretty simple (2 mounting brackets, 2 ball joints (separate by undoing the nut to the top of the threads, put a pry bar between the steering arm and control arm to put pressure on it then medium force on the side of the ball joint or top of the nut with a hammer to break it free) and then the trickiest bit is the splines to the steering rack (not too bad to undo, one nut then it slides out, but mark it first so you can reassemble it straight)
