R33 Rb30 Conversion


JNR24

Recommended Posts

I am not chasing a particular hp figure, at this stage, at first I will be happy with whatever a fairly stock bottom end and head with a gcg or similar turbo, 550cc injectors gtr cooler and 3" all the way exhaust will give me :D:);) more than what I had anyway....(more smiles)

I have heard that the os giken twin plates are quite good, happy to spend 1200 ish prolly...I assume a rb30 clutch will fit into rb20 bell housing, it must, they are all pretty similar housings....

I also assume that the rigoli 4k drive in/out thing is for a 33 gtst not a 32. That way they get the heads and other stuff off your car and keep the bottom end etc...

Thanks.

Ender,

Ouch... RB20 GBox...

Might wanna see if you can grab a RB25 Box, that will hlod the power a little better than the RB20.

Anyhow, considering Matt lowth is only using a full faced, organic

from Exedy Daikan. With only an upgraded pressure plate and a Standard flywheel. I think the Extra Heavy Duty Cushioned Ceramic Button Clutch, that i am buying from Horsepowerinabox.com, will do nicely!

Whata find!

Intresting stuff in here! =)

Thanx Joel!

Also guys i got my RB26 Oil pump and it Fits straight on to the RB30 Crank, No probems!?

Where did this adapter fit?

Just thought I would use the rb20 g/box til it broke, then get a 25, haven't looked at prices for 25 g/boxes though...can prolly afford one at a pinch...may have to go the cheaper h-p-inabox clutch too then rather than a os unit....

Thanks,

There is a huge diffrence between the RB30 Oil & water pump compared to the RB26.

I will post some pics comparing the two side by side.

Two much to put into words.

not too sure about the RB25

Hi JNR24, You asked "Also guys i got my RB26 Oil pump and it Fits straight on to the RB30 Crank, No probems!? Where did this adapter fit? "

You must have an R32 RB26DETT oil pump, the adaptor is for fitting the R33 RB26DETT oil pump to the R32 RB26DETT crankshaft (which is the same diameter as the RB20/30/25 cranks).

Hope that helps

Ok thanks for clearing that up sydneykid, Joel i would say that the "Oil pumping factor" :spank: would be pretty much the same between the 32 & 33 RB26DETT. So therefor running a R32 RB26DETT oil pump will just save you the hassels of having to by the adapter.

There is a small issue with the RB25DET VCT head apparently.

They are harder to tune when the VCT turns off around 5000rpm.

Apparently the engine wants to ping when the vct turns off and causes slight power dips even with aftermarket ecu's.?!?!?!

Joel, does this apply to RB2det too? - I have been getting detonation when I floor it, usually just over 5000rpm, got any more info on this? May just have to get rid of the VVT, but it will be a pig to drive off boost. - think I shall test it without the VVT tomorrow.

    • Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
