Just thought I would bump this 20 year old thread because the Skid Factory have just posted up a video summarising a lot of the content, format might be more familiar for newer members

One of my fav cars at the moment. Engine combo is pretty insane.

Not bad for being built by a cement renderer lol

Can anyone tell me how thick the top of a CP piston for Nissan RB30/25 (86.5mm 9.0:1 comp) is, or roughly what it is?

Any info ASAP would be awesome.

My head and block is getting machined up at the moment. Apparently my pistons were missing there spec sheet so I did a search and came up with 3 thou piston to bore... thought I just read another thread that said 3.5 thou is the standard. Should 3 thou be fine for CP flat tops?

Cheers

A big 2 thumbs up and thanks to all those who have contributed to this thread.... Effing fantastic!

Just wondering if there has been an update to the pdf doc? The latest version I can get my hands on is November 2007? btw this is not the one listed on page 1, that one is 2006.

I'm currently in the planning/purchasing stage of my RB30 build up. I currently own an R34GTT and I'm planning for more of a "budget build" where my max power at the rears will be capped at 250-300KW....eventually. With a shit load of torque of course for that V8 feel! Apart from the S2-RB30 block I'm planning to keep everything as is. Sitting at the correct height by modifying the engine blocks I'm hoping to use my standard R34 head, then bolt everything back up for a standard looking engine bay. In the beginning I'm even planning to use my standard R34 turbo etc. Might end up getting it high flowed and keeping it coz the cops here in SA are nazi's and I drive this car everyday.

I don't want to be that guy who after 350 pages still asks "does anyone know..."? But if anyone has any thoughts I'm open to ideas, more importantly if anyone knows the right people to speak to here in Adelaide it would be appreciated.

Cheers in advance guys.

the 25 head needs to be modifed around the vct feed. the vct feed needs to be welded up and then the head re faced. also doesnt hurt to chuck whatever gasket your gonna use against the head and make sure the surrounding water gallery will seal properly

hey guys i'm abit confused with something that info it says head needs to be modified but doesn't say what needs modifying. what does this mean by that?

ohh ok so my s2 R33 rb25det head wouldn't be a straight fit onto an already built rb30 block that was used for the rb25/30det set up previously would it? if the head needs to be faced...

Has anyone played around with a RD28 diesel block... Ive seen that the Allout R33 is using one and running quick times

Kind of off topic but I would also like to know if anyone has done it and wants to share some information... would love to know the rev limit set in the Allout R33?

Why are you not keeping the vct? Costs very little to do - there is even a thread on doing it without an external feed.

couldn't be bothered doing the extra work haha & you only lose acouple hp with out so i've been told...

got any links for the threads anyone?

      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.

      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?
