I should also say that I remembered reading somewhere that the the RB26DETT crank nose is larger in diameter than the other RB engines. If this is correct, then the ID of the pump gear will also be larger. I can actually confirm this if you like as I have an RB26 oil pump on the bench, and RB30E one (buried somewhere)....let me know.

As for the water pumps, don't know for sure, but it's possible the RB26 type would have a higher flow rate as it has to feed 2 turbos - but then again, the same thing could be achieved using a smaller diam pulley....

Good question Joel, :)

I think Tomie/Jun? make a adapter for this. I just have to speak to a few people and see who sells them. I havent started looking for that just yet. As i am trying to find a set of good cheap forgies, i think there called Aries? "rocket industries" make em. got a quote off a guy on here for $1100 with rings!!! :)

So iam just buying all the little cheapy bolt ons that i will need for later, like this oil & water pump. But thanks for bringing this to my attn.

So were are you at with your RB30 build? progressing?

PS: if you find a place that sell them, drop me a PM.

PPS: also for oil squirters.

Cheers,

Joel!

Let me know where you get the jun adaptor and pistons etc.

Do the pistons have to have provision for the oil squirters?

Or pistons are pistons oil squirters or not?

I'm using the oil squirters from my RB20DET.

I'm at the stage where i'm just getting all the bits together.

differences between rb30 and rb30t are as said above , plus the rb30t releif spring is about 4 mm longer.

the gtr pump is i think same size as rb30t pump , but has different shaped gears and the releif valve is slightly larger diameter.

best to check though.

a mate is using a gtr pump on his vlt

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
