Dude.... I walked into a dyno shop which had 2x R33s out the front in so I assumed yeah they might know something.

I was like yeah I have an RB30DET, 40 thou oversize, big cams, forged internals, lots of head work, big injectors, big turbo blah blah blah...

Then he was like umm... why are you running a VL engine in your car..... I was like omfg I hate people who say that.. its an RB30 block with an RB25 head. he looked very confused and then said well $1500 for a tune. leave it with us for a few weeks and we will see what we can do.

A guy owns a performance shop here, I buy a lot of stuff off him and hes from QLD. He said that all of the tuners here he wouldn't even trust them to do a power run and that he is getting a tuner down from QLD to tune his car for him and hes going to hire a dyno for him to use. I am going to get him to tune his car for me when he comes down.

Well go to some one else who has half an idea. Unsure how it is in tas but in little old country town Adelaide we have over 5 good tuners. There's only one that I wouldn't trust with my car.

Im sure there is a decent tuner there in TAS surely there not all numb nuts.

Regardless there's nothing special about an rb30det. Its simply a stroked rb25 so a dyno would have shown there's a fuel issue; at that point the fuel return would have been dropped and straight away it would have been known there is a fuel supply issue. That is standard fuel supply troubleshooting regardless if he didn't know an rb30det existed or not.

If the dyno tuner can't do the above then he would not be operating.

I hope you have a little more luck running the 30det on the stock ecu than I did. Anything above 6psi at 3000rpm saw fuel cut.

:D

Ditto, CEF11E's remap sorted that till I could get in for a remap to suit z32 afm and bigger injectors.

Guessin that he has found a DYNO Tuner he can trust and that is not an idiot as he has finally got it booked in for a tune next week...

Or maybe I should ring Brad up and tell him some of the shit you been sprouting on here about the idiots that cant run dynos in TAS.

Seriously, do you think that nobody reads this crap you post and that it wont come back to bite you in the ass someday??

I am almost embarressed to admit that I have just bought a Skyline now.

Might go join a VOLVO forum...

but then your probably a technical expert over there as well arent ya Finny??? :ninja:

How much power are you expecting from your 25/30??? Or how much did it make???

Brad at boost automotive tuned my old RB25 to 399rwkw at only 17psi, and I will be taking my engine setup there for a tune also. With a big shot of NOS to get things moving.

How does a 023 pump compare to a 044???

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
