theres no difference between rods and rod bolts.

when we rebuild these bottoms its common to put say arp bolts in but stock nissan is extremely good.

but most ppl just get em resized then the whole shootin match balanced - rb30s are tough as guts

We'll have to agree to disagree. I build these engines too, and the VLT r/bolts are definately an upgrade from the NA type. They even have a different PN...but apart from that, I can say the material is superior, having actually tested them in comparison. But as you say rods are identical.

ARP don't make rod bolts for any RB engine. The closest thing they have is VG30DETT bolts. Of course, it's possible to ream out the bolt holes to accept something for another engine (eg we use chev bolts in 2L U series Nissan engines).

It seems to be a standard belief that high power motors need big oil pumps. I have never understood this logic.

The larger capacity oil pumps are only needed to maintain oil pressure at idle. Think about it.

If you have an RB30E, you only need a certain sized pump to stop the oil light coming on at idle. Now if you have an RB30ET the turbo oil flow bleeds off a lot of oil from the engine, so they fit a larger displacement pump.

Same thing with the RB25DE, extra camshaft = more oil needed. RB25DET, bigger again, extra cam plus turbo.

RB26DETT, has two turbos, extra cam, plus oil squirters, so you need a really big oil pump, but only really at slow idle.

Now oil pump flow is proportional to engine RPM, so at say 2,500 RPM even a small oil pump is going to easily provide enough flow and pressure for any situation. The problem really only exists at idle RPM.

So the theory that you need a massive high volume oil pump for that 9,000 RPM racing engine is simply not true, quite the reverse in fact.

But if you are building a street RB30DETT, a big pump would be a very good idea, no matter what the final power rating.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      With the system, once you drive it for a bit, and before you turn the car off, does the car fix its date and time? When you say the date is wrong, what date does the vehicle think it is, and does it always show the same date? My thoughts from a process driven view is; The system may be defaulting to a standard start date/time. The main reason you'd typically see this occuring, is the system is losing its constant/backup power supply.   If its always defaulting to the same date/time at start up, and especially if it fixes itself while driving, I'd say either the non volatile memory has an issue, or the power supply to the volatile memory that stores this information.   The other thing I'd check is if there is anywhere in the system you can adjust the date and time from. If the date/time is still moving forward since it wished you happy new year, then it is 100% possible the system has just had a bit of data corruption occur, and you likely need to find a way to reset the date/time in the vehicle.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Scissor Jacks are an accident waiting to happen, the only time they should be used are in an roadside flat, even then a tyre and rim should be placed underneath

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      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?
