Hey everyone, am nearing completion of my RB25/30 build, but I seem to be stuck on setting up the timing.

 

I have drilled and tapped the block above the water pump for the timing belt tensioner, am using a RB25 idler below the water pump, crank is at TDC, but am unsure on where my cams are supposed to be at. I also have adjustable cam gears to go onto the cams, once the motor in full is set to TDC correctly. To make it easier, the block is a standard A6 VL N/A block, and the head is standard aswell, valves, cams, with the exception of the VVL being blocked off in the head.

 

If someone could help me out with this it'd be muchly appreciated. Have tried searching in this thread alone and also the whole of SAU, but cant find a definite answer. With 359 pages worth of thread here, I tried looking, but it seems a lot of people like to talk shit in here too which makes it all that much harder..

Install the adjustable cam gears straight off and use the markers as per Ben's comment.  Then pay someone competent to degree your cams.  Hint: this is far easier and less time consuming to do on the bench/engine stand.

Hey team. 

Massive thanks for this thread. It's amazeballs. 

Just wondering if a factory 25DE ecu could be used to get a 30DET running. Just temporarily so I can check everything for leaks and I'm eating myself noises before it goes for dyno tune.

Not sure what ecu I'm going to use yet will speak to the tuner before to see what brands they are familiar with. 

 

Once again cheers guys

Is this still the thread to read with regards to high hp sohc rb30 applications?

Most stuff on here will relate to DOHC heads.  
What info specifically are you chasing?

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

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
