If the sump is similar to that of an RB26DETT no it won't just bolt straight on as the RB26DETT sump is a bit wider on the drivers side and has a number of 8mm bolts on this side to compensate for the weight of the front diff, it can be made to fit the RB30 block but there is a bit of work in doing this.

cheers

if you look at the bottom of an rb20 block in a GTS4, it has 2 complete sets of bolt holes for the 2 different sumps. The 4wd sump bolts up to the outer set of holes using 8mm bolts, whereas the 2wd sump bolts up to the inner set of bolts using 6mm bolts. There are also different oil pickups between the 2wd and 4wd models, although this would be easier to fix if you're going from 2wd (rb30) to 4wd, than it was for me to go the other way (i'm using a GTS4 rb20 in a rwd configuration, and it was a complete pain in the arse, despite the assurances of the import wrecker)

Keep the thread going ppls.

Interesting read Belly_up! :D

So what your saying is you could make an adaptor plate that is similiar to that of say a turbo flange adaptor plate.

You would then have to look at extending the oil pick up slightly to accomodate for the height of the adaptor plate.

It would also make lowering the engine slightly difficult??? Due to the 4wd gear.

This would require one to use a RB26 head or a custom plenum on the rb25 head as to prevent bonnet fouling issues.

I would seriously look at a rb26 head.

Has the injectors to make some decent power, slightly better cams, solid followers(higher .050" lift), and it will work perfectly with the RB20DET's wiring loom and ecu(powerfc) providing you wire in the injector resistor pack from a GTR/300ZX.

Any one have pics of the RB20DET GTS4 or GTR sump and block bolt up pattern?

Cubes: That was my next question. We definatly need some photos of the patterns here. Has anyone seen the RIPS adapter plate? And did he use a custom plenum on the 25 head does anyone know?

Really i would love to start work on an RB30DET but have to clear up the issues with the sump mounting and possible clearance issues the adapter plate could cause with the sump fouling on something.

It's for an R32 GTS4 btw.

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
