Only in the fact that it has to physically pump more oil around (extra oil in the lines etc) Personally I doubt an oil filter relocation kit would have enough effect to actually starve the head.

Edited by MintR33

wont affect anything. We use a truck oil filter thats about four times the size of the std skyline one and its got about 1m of line to it and then it goes to two oil coolers and back to the motor.

also what sump would i have to use to run in a s15?

That would depend on where you have the motor sit in the bay, best to install the motor without the sump, fabricate the mounts to suit, then see clearances to the cross member and sway bar etc

or have a chat to Fatz regarding what they did in his S13

I haven't used SolidWorks as such, but I used to work for an automotive R&D company and there I used SolidEdge - pretty much just a leaner version of SW :) At the moment I use microstation to do all my drawings whether they be .dwg or .dgn.

Waiting for my N1 oil pump and bearings to arrive then my RB30 will be running again.. after xmas will probably see a GT35R get bolted on :huh:

I'm just about to get the cams sorted from Tighe cams for mysetup.

I've been recommended by both my tuner and Tighe cams to go the 265/265 in/exh.

My only small concern is will the 265/265's lope over noticeably on idle? A mate has the 254/254 cams and the idle is baby smooth; the note did change slightly but there is no lope.

If the 265/265's do lope would the 254/265 setup smooth the idle?

I wouldn't mind a slight lope but I've been you tubing SR20's (same bore stroke) with 264 cams and they lope over like bridgy's. :S

All though the SR's do run a LOT more lift that I will be running (8.9mm).

The cams are hydraulic so no doubt slightly reduced ramp rate which may also smooth idle slightly compared to rb26 solid cams.

Any guesstimates based on sort of similiar experience? :S

Considering the cams you are running at the moment, either setup will be a vast improvement. Being that you aren't running a huge turbo, the power difference of the 264 inlet cam over the 254, i wouldnt expect to see an extra 20rwkw between the two. Its all up to you, but considering you are almost at the limit of streetable 2wd power, i would go the smaller inlet, to maintain the low rpm torque, and idle quality, but its all trial and error.

Cheers Adriano,

I do plan on dropping a GT35r .8 on it at a later date once I push the limit of the GT30.

As Uni is now all done with and I'm working I have a fair bit more $$ to throw at the car and have some fun with it down at Mallala. So it will be primarily a car I race down at the track. Similar to the Troymeister but I'd still like it to idle 'ok' so it doesn't attract too much attention. :(

I'm hoping some one has played with 265 cams in a hydraulic head and the RB30. ;)

this vid is of a 33 gtst i've help built this year. its a built rb25, solid lifter head, 260/9.15 cams, big port work both sides, os valves on the exhaust side. its just sounds pure porn at ilde (~900rpm), and u should hear it on full noise ;) *creams pants*

Sounds very very nice. I've replayed it over and over and over. I could listen to it all day. lol.

All though partially due to the solid lifter setup. Hydraulic cams sound much smoother. :) A good thing for not being defected though. ;)

Cheers Shane. :(

i know myself and the owner dont get sick of it hahaha

they can be turned so its not as 'raspy' on idle, but then there goes hp, and who wants to do that? :(

he's running a 35r with the .82 rear, and power tips over at 8000rpm (although 1 silicon joiner is sucking closed at high rpm so that could be playing a part in that) so i reckon something closer to 270deg would be ideal on an rb30 with the 35r

How many ponies did it produce?

You could try sourcing a set of A'PEXi 270 degree cams, pretty sure these retain the hydraulic lifter setup... from memory they run 9.0mm lift.

The downside is they went out of production some time ago so Yahoo auctions may be the best bet...

    • 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!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
