is that a 30 bottom end?

also who did the porting job?

Noel, how long have you had your car for? 3-4 Months? just wondering as a new engine isn't a common skyline mod in such a short period of ownership, if you know what I mean.

Its a 25 bottom end mate. crack tested rods and crank, peened, cryoed blueprinted and balanced. Forged gikens.

Porting was done by japanese motor sport in Adelaide. Combustion chambers were modified by some dude from the Adelaide tech college. Must be proud of his work as he signed his name in the head. The head flowed a pupported 920 hp on the bench.

Selecting cams for this engine is going to require some careful thought.

As for why after only 3 months. Dude its been 25 bloody years, not 3 months. I ran wild bent 8 street cars in my younger days and only gave it away to get married and do the kid thing. I bought this engine as a built concern with 4000 kays on board. Subsequent stripping of the engine has revealed all that the builder claimed. Its a gem.

I didnt particularly want to tear down my own engine as it is in absolutely top notch condition. Why destroy a perfectly good engine. It will have a new home in an r32 sometime soon.

any reason why still staying with 2.5ltr capacity? :)

Coz 3L = SHIT!

He'll have all the torque he needs with porting and careful cam selection, combined with correct turbo choice. Plus the RB25 will rev higher and more reliably.

Plus the RB25 has better technology incorporated into it's block design.

hypothetically speaking, what if he put that head on a properly built & strengthened rb30? it'd surely have to make more torque? :)

yes, but it's alot more money than following what has been proven to work to achieve similar results.

whats different betwwen either? only difference i see would be enlarging the oil galleries in the rb30 to spin it to 8k

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
