Hey guys and gals, i've just recently joined the the forums, and I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Roald, but you can all call me Roo.... its easier :)

Now, I don't drive a skyline, but i do have a RB30DET (25/30) in my VL Calais, and I figured this would be a good place to get some good info on the newer nissan tech, as the VL sites i've become accustom to are more 'SOHC oriented'....

I have some Q's regarding my setup etc. but I'll get to them at a later date (studying....)

Looking forward to getting involved,

Regards, Roo ;)

Ok, so its been a while.... I've been busy finishing my CIT course - flat out!

Here are some pics and info from the prevoius owner. I would have loved to do the conversion myself, but this came along and was far more cost effective :)

Engine

7,000 km's old

3ltr, acid cleaned, crack tested

bored and honed 50 tho to suit oversized pistons,

shot peened rods. New mains, big ends, small ends, balanced etc.

genuine Nissan head gasket

reconditioned RB25DET cylinder head with extra provision for VCT,

ceramic T3 turbo driven only on 6 psi

3inch exhaust with high flow cat

New bosch 910 fuel pump

Custom braided lines for turbo

Nizpro engine bay mounted intercooler

Wiring harness professionally modified to suit vl

Gearbox

R33 turbo 5speed manual box

Pulled down for inspection before fitting

Short shifter

Harness and speedo modified to suit vl

Heavy duty clutch,

shaved flywheel,

Fully balanced and modified drive shaft to suit r33 box

148RWkW and 530Nm on 6 PSI, std. R33 computer :)

Will get more pics up later on some time.

Cheers, Roo

148rwkw? :huh:

Are you sure that figure is correct? You should be making a lot more than that...

No offence intended.

None taken :) .The reason for such odd Power vs. Torque figures is due to a rather restrictive intercooler. Between about 2100-3300 rpm I have access to full boost (10p.s.i), but by the time I've reached 4500 rpm its all the way back at 6 p.s.i :) You can see on the dyno sheet where the boost really falls off. Once its gets up on the revs, the cooler simply can't flow enough air.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this setup should really start singing at around 4000/4500 rpm, right where its all over....

I'm condisering sending the cooler to Garrett for a recore (Nizpro tanks are good as far as I know?) and getting the turbo high-flowed/steel wheels. Any other recommendations? Will I need a fuel cut defender (sometimes it surges/cuts under boost at lower revs - i.e. full boost to manifold) or rising-rate reg?

Thanks for any input,

Roo

If I may voice my opinion... :)

Well if you want to get the most from your engine set up (RB25 / 30DET) then I would suggest a fairly large low mount turbo such as a Garret GT30 / 82R, dont bother high flowing the one you have.

Im using a GT30 / 71R (slightly smaller than the 82R) and it is good for about 250rwkw, the larger GT30 / 82R will be better for your engine because you have more down low power because of the larger capacity and it will probably spool a larger turbo pretty quick.

If youre going for out right power then you will need a fuel pump - go for a Walbro in tank or Bosch 040. You'll also need to upsize your injectors as the standard ones will max out pretty quick, go for some SARD 550cc brand new squirters, dont bother having the standard ones high flowed.

As for your intercooler, I have been using a Just Jap / Cooling pro 300 x 600 x 76 front mount for a while and Ive never had a problem, I would highly recommend one for the price.

Get in contact with GCG in Sydney for the turbo, Powerflow injection for the pump and injectors and Just Jap for an intercooler.

Im using similar equipment in my RB25DET (550cc injectors, 040 pump, GT30 / 71R and JJR front mount) and my car makes 230rwkw and 550nm at 18psi, very conservative AFR and it has bugger all lag.

:D

Great, thanks for the info :P

For the moment its on hold due to a matter of funds, but I will definitely take your advice into consideration. I have been considering dropping the whole lot into an R32, but again this is more likely to happen later rather than sooner, once I finish my apprenticeship :P

BTW, anyone know what a good R32 rolling shell might be worth, just out of curiosity?

Cheers, Roo

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.

      Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Duncan · Posted

      I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
