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

Hi guys, is it possible to run a rb2530 (det head) with a nistune?

Just pick the nistune based on the head you are using, or you might have to chop and change sensors and looms. However R33s don't have nistunes, so you would need an rb20det computer or z32 to run it. Pretty straightforward to setup, email nistune themselves and see what board they recommend you.

I have the z32 ecu so that'll work? If so I will speak with Pete from nistune for more details.

Thanks for your help guys

I need some clarification after weeks of reading different info if anyone can help

Im planing on doing the rb30 conversion using the rb25det neo head.

Can anyone confirm the cc's of the turbo neo head, Ive read anywhere from 52cc to 60cc ?

Also im running an auto tranny and it shifts at 6800rpm (I cant change shift points) from what I have read standard rb30 rods dont like to be reved over 6500 without letting go. Is this correct?

Do I need to get the crank balenced to rev to 6800rpm?

I hope someone can enlighten me.

Thanks

Balance your crank rods flywheel and pressure plate to prevent unwanted vibrations at high revs that will cause problems

Neo 25 heads i have seen here at the machine shop i work at vary from 52-55cc's

non neo 25 & 26 heads I've seen vary from 63-66cc's

Power porting the compressor and turbine covers is not something I have ever considered. I have done cast iron exhaust manifolds, works very well. I have not experienced any restriction in an RB25DET inlet manifold or throttle body up to 525 bhp so I doubt that it would be worth the cost. Over that, an RB26 top end with inlet manifold is a cheaper proposition when you add it all up. If you are intending to use the GT35R to its potential, then that would be my suggestion.

Hope that helps:cheers:

Hi.

What kind of flow gains did u get power porting the standard rb25 ex manifold? Thanks

Ive finally got my head off time to drill and tap into the head for external oil feed.

first question Ive been trying to find a way to find all attached images within this thread.

looking at what people have done in the past for vct feed.

Also. Is there a particular spot alont the vct feed gallery where there is alot of meat to tap into.

Someone had suggested building up the alloy on the head before drilling and tapping. Whether its necessary or not I would rather find out before I pick a spot to start drilling into.

hey thanks for the nice shots, that second shot where you have drilled into it you wouldn;t be able to send me a high resolution copy at all would you?

looks like quite a large line what size thread is that tapped? I was looking at tapping to suit a 3/8 NPT bung.

From the shots I'm guessing that particular area has a wall of 4mm would that sound about right?

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
