A littel off topic:

1.st question:

Do "arias" make a set of NA pistons? for RB30. i went to www.rocketindustires.com.au and found them but they only say "tubro" and there is no RB30DE listing.

2nd Question:

What pistons do you guys recommend running? a set of NAs or the Turbo flattops??

NA:s 8.3:1

Turbos: 7.8:1

I currently going to be running a T04E on there but looking to run a GT3540.

What set do you guys think i should run?

Cheers,

Trev

Hi Dreg01, RB25DE heads are cheap and the early ones have no VVT, much simpler than RB25DET heads. I bought a complete RB25DE engine for $900 and sold the bottom end for $600, so the head cost $300. Plus I think the camshaft timing was a bit more aggressive than the RB25DET.

Hope that helps

Adelaide Jap were/are selling RB25DE heads for $750 as they couldn't get rid of the motor/head packages.

JNR24... Arias do make RB30E NA pistons.

They are $1600 inc. Rings from RPM Performance in Adelaide.

Apparently the Arias are one of the better forged pistons, CP's are apparently good also.

I would realy like to see that dyno chart referenced with RPM. I just need one of you to to look at the RPM when you are doing 100km/h in 4th gear (I assume raist has a manual with standard diff gears). If someone checks it out fo me I will modify the chart to include RPM and post it up.

Raist: What other mods have you done to get the 240 KW?

Bump

"I would realy like to see that dyno chart referenced with RPM. I just need one of you to to look at the RPM when you are doing 100km/h in 4th gear (I assume raist has a manual with standard diff gears). If someone checks it out fo me I will modify the chart to include RPM and post it up."

If the RB25DET makes peak power around 6500rpm I think I worked it out to being 38.15km/h every 1 rpm.

So at 95km/h * 38.15 = 3624rpm.

At 95km/h or 3624rpm it should be making 168rwkw.

At 149km/h or 5684rpm the RB30DET made its peak power of 252rwkw.

At 164km/h or 6256rpm the RB30DET made ~250rwkw and started to dropp power off quickly.

It sounds about right?!?

Raist were u using Adj. Cam gears?

Being it a RB25DET head which apparently has a less aggressive cam than the RB25DE NA head it should make power earlier in the RPM and slightly less?!

This is maybe why Sydneykid stated that when he did a conversion it made its peak power at 6200rpm there abouts. I think that was using an NA head, I could be wrong as so many figures etc have been posted and its easy to get muddled up. :D

Hi Joel, isn't that 28 kilometres per hour per thousand RPM?  Not 38 kph surely?

If I were to use 28kph the RB25 would be making peak power at around 4844rpm.

Where as 38.15kph equals 6599rpm.

I'm not really sure but it does seem roughly right.

It would be interesting to see exactly where the RB25DET does make its peak power as on paper it is 6600rpm.

Here it is using 38 rpm per km. That would mean that a R33 GTSt does 3800rpm at 100km/h in 4th. That seems a bit high to me but it could be right. I know my R31 has taller gearing but it does around 3800rpm at 100km/h in THIRD. 4th comes in a 3000rpm at 100. That seems like a huge difference. It won't be hard for one you to check it out to make sure. Just look at the tacho when you are doing 100 in 4th gear.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
