Well Wikipedia says an RB30 block + 26 head creates an RB32DETT. I am guessing this is where 'skyliner34rb26' got his info.....

A common swap for those GT-R owners in search of more horespower and torque is the RB30 shortblock. This shortblock was originally produced for Australian markets under Holden and several other brand names but due to its compatibility with the RB26 cylinder head it is gaining massive popularity with Skyline enthusiasts all over the world. The common swap is to merge the RB26DETT cylinder head with the RB30 shortblock to produce a hybrid 3.2L RB32DETT. The RB30 shortblock is essentially an RB26 with a longer stroke ratio, which in turn means more displacement and the addition of much needed torque. The stock RB30 requires a bit of modification to work with an RB26, or with the right resources OS Giken sells a fully prepped 1500 HP ready RB30 shortblock for $20,000 USD. A 3.2L RB series engine has been known to provide up to 1400+ WHP on a properly built motor.

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
