Long motor includes bottom end and head and all internal parts but no accessories.

short motor is same as above minus the head, includes internal parts inside the block and sump.

It's obvious what you need for the det conversion.

ahh cheers thanks man jst what i needed to know

Does anyone know if you can use the High energy 7L sump and still retain the factory stone guard in a 32 GTST?

Also noticed that the drain plug is on the opposite side to factory.

anyone had their crank nitrated? The shop rang me and asked if i wanted it done since the whole bottom end is getting blueprinted. Cost me $900 though! I want a tough realiable engine and am cutting no corners using argo rods, jun oil pump and ati balancer. Ive been told the block is weaker then rb26's. What can i do to strengthen it? Resin fill? Can someone shed some more light on this?

cheers

All RB cranks are nitrided standard.

Hey all,

Just want to know what you guys did for the oil squirters did you put them in or not?

Bitch of a job, not all blocks will accept the threads and you can't tell until you start machining. S1, S2, Commodore, Skyline and turbo blocks, makes no difference, about 1 in 10 will take squirters. So we stopped fitting them about 60 RB30's ago, we machine oil squirters into the conrods, works perfectly. For heavy duty applications (over 750 bhp) we ceramic coat the piston crowns and oil retention coat the skirts.

Cheers

Is the $900 quote just for the nitriding ? or all the machining ? ( bore, hone, crank grind etc )

Hi Gary

When you say " we machine oil squirters into the conrods " are you referring to what is used in the OEM rod. A oil feed hole in the rod that sprays up under the crown fed from the big end ?

Could someone explain the process of nitrating for me? If all rb cranks come like that standard then why the heck they suggested it? Since the rb30 crank is fairly old, could it do with a re-doing? I was quoted 900 for nitrate alone and 2100 for bore, hone, grind etc.

I also got my pistons ceramic coated. far easiler then trying to get oil squiters i was told.

guys this is probably the best posting i have seen on anything technical..

anyway im about to start a build on my 31 with a 25/30 and wanna make 300 kw atw...

can someone do me a huge favor as i get confused with trying to follow the posts and give me a guide on parts to use... i have a series2 rb30 in my car so the bottom end is started but wat else do i need to achieve this without it melting down on me...

cheers...

Damn that sounds really expensive!

Hope they are not taking advantage of your ignorance :D

You can order the sump to gave the drain plug on the other side.

I made a custom order for mine to have two "-10" fittings for the oil returns (one on each side), one oil temp sensor fitting and something else i have forgotten. The mods were done perfectly and placed in the idea places.

first page there is a pdf you can download. covers allot of things.

Hoang, they are absolutely ripping you off mate.

Nitriding is a process of introducing elements through heat and proximity to create a different alloy near the surface of steels in order to prevent crack propagation and sub surface crack nucleation. It can never wear our as it is now alloyed in the structure. Redoing it is basically useless as the nitriding resists further nitriding. To remove it you need to machine away the surface material.

My bottom end machining, cleaning ready to assemble and head skim with full zero balance cost $1400.

gt35, low mount cast manifold, external gate... possible? don't think so but i like to dream. keep them cops eyes at bay.

If you were running a GTR head then the old HKS manifold for the T04R means that would woudl likely be able to do this dependant on the turbo flange as the hKS manifold is a T4.

Not sure about R34's, but on the 33's the hks manifold and GT30R or GT35R will hit the engine mounts.

Matt had problems because of the turbo size is bigger then the T04E that the kit normally runs. Its strange because the turbo he runs (3076) will fit on an R32 with RB20 (Legend01) and has been used on several RB30s. So the extrea deck height of the block will most likely get you ouf of troubel with clashes with engine mounts

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
