VCT question. Does anyone know where the hydraulic valve(ram) is on a R33det that controls the flow of oil to the camshaft phaser.

Need to know where to feed the oil to, as I believe I will be welding the vct oil gallery on the head

thanks

I must be a retard because I cant find what I am looking for even though I am sure its somwhere...

If I am going to put forged RB25 pistons (20 thou oversize) and eagle rods out of the same motor into an RB30 block, will comp ratio still be reasonable (8:1 or 8.5:1)? This combination will be fine I assume as in the .pdf its stated that bore is the same between 25/26/30. The rods are my concern but I am pretty sure they are interchangeable.

Sorry guys >_<

This is the wrong way to build the engine. The RB25 pistons have a lower compression height than the RB30 pistons, so they will be down the block about 0.5mm. The pistons have an 14cc dome on the top of them too. Assuming you deck the block to 0 thou you would have a cr of around 9.8:1, possibly higher if you have the head skimmed to make it dead flat.

Not machining the block to 0 thou deck would give you a little more chamber volume but this would also make the engine more prone to detonation as the sqush pads in the head are way too far away from the squish area on the pistons to make the combustion chamber efficent.

The ideal engine has a 0 deck height and a 0.040" (1mm) head gasket. Then set your desired CR using dished pistons after having your head cc'd. Using RB30 pistons gets you close to 8:1 depending on your head cc.

You should read the PDF file, it covers the options for piston choice.

how have people fixed their throttle cable issues. i have a q45 TB on a greddy plenum and using the stock throttle cable bracket i can hook up the cable but there is too much slack in the cable itself.

i heard you can get replacement disks that the throttle cable hooks onto on the throttle body so you can rotate it further to take up the slack. does anyone know where to get these? or am i better off getting the cable modified?

car is running and has an initial tune on it.

Arias 9.2:1 comp pistons

Stock RB25 cams & springs with slightly cleaned up ports (completely stripped and rebuilt head)

VCT enabled

Greddy intake with Q45 TB

GT3582R 0.82 on an ETM manifold with 4" dump pipe, 50mm external wastegate

The engine is so much nicer off boost than the RB25 ever was and once its on boost the thing flys (making ~5psi by 2300 in 4th)

290kw @ the rear wheels 18 psi and bugger all ignition timing, 11:1 AFR up top and not making use of the WMI as something is leaking into the intake and fouling up the plugs/ deploying a smoke screen (to put it lightly) on the over run (PCV leaking oil, valve guide/s leaking oil, brake master cyl faulty and leaking fluid) any or all of the above. so we cant lean on it till thats fixed, should have an easy extra 70 or so kw left in it.

does anyone know the nissan part number for the bolts that hold the crank girdle to the block?

i have asked Nissan but the say they can't find it in thier system.

what bolts do other people use?

thanks

I have the same TB with a CPC plenum where the rb20 and rb25 accel cables wouldnt reach. I found an Aussie R31 Rb30 cable that requires no mods to fit.

Make sure the one your getting has serpentine belt drive unless it's a race car

But u can get them at perfomancewholesale.com.au for around 1000

cheers

can somebody tell me the difference between those 2 items.

just looking on the ATI website now, and they have an "r32 model" and the newer..

shouldnt be the same?

Not sure if this has been mentioned...

I recently got my RB25/30 running (last Tuesday). I did the mod for the VCT, however, all I did was grub screw the hole in the head, with no other modification. My VCT works perfect. No oil control/lack of oil issues or anything (this was mod was done on the advice of my engine builder).

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
