No probs , I have done it,haha maybe too many times, I did it again today :(

I do search for threads but some of them are so old and with new tech and products I did not use them but I see that you can and someone will join in and the thread gets going again :)

Call or e-mail Rob at rips racing.....he has good advice and could build you what you want easily....he's just finished a car for canada.

Thanks , I heard they are very good but in the too hard basket for me , NZ.

I find CRD easy to get along with and always do what they say and I just drop the car off and pick it up , too easy :)

BC 2.9ltr stroker and type R poncams will make a world of difference to your car :thumbsup:,I have fitted the RB30 block to my R34 and would never do it again or recommend anyone else to do it but the torque that comes with it is just awesome just doesn't fit how i would like it to, but I'm just fussy, the BC kit goes into your factory block so everything bolts straight in

Too hard basket? I guess if picking up the phone or typing an email is hard then yeah it is pretty hard.

haha , no mate, getting the motor to NZ is the hard basket and the time it will take. I live in the bush not Sydney and most things are a pain when you want work done on your car here, there in no one to do it. I can get a service and that is about it :(

Thanks Mick

You used the RB30 Block, did you have the 3.2Lt stroker kit. What was it you did not like about the torque , did you loose top end power?. I thought you would also get some top end power from it?

What do you do with your car, track/drag ??

Trouble is I have this in my head now as I made my mind up to do it, so the RB30 block and Nitto 3.2Lt Stroker is going in, I am sure what I want from the work but when I get it I might have to live with it :)

The plan is if the car drives the way I want it I will sell the 350GT.

Cheers

The problem is the amount of custom work required to make them fit is a pain in the ass and not cheap if your paying someone to do it

This, plus its to close to the bonnet and I lowered the subframe 8mm, I have twin GT-RSs factory mount and can not put the factory strut brace on cause it hits the TT pipe, if you have a high mount 6262 you will have this issue and probably bonnet

I love the torque, its the fit I'm not impressed with, top end power is 623hp/458kw at all 4 @28psi and still 3.0ltr

It's an all rounder, street drag track whatever is going :D, mostly track though

The RB30 block is a PITA and not worth the effort

Mmmmmm, food for thought, you have given me a few questions to ask the shop. The bonnet problems worries me more than anything as I built a system under it to be able to drive in the rain without the water going all over the motor through the vents.

Once you went to the trouble and had RB30 block installed , why turf it once the hard work was done?

Sounds like plenty of grunt to do whatever you wanted.

What is a PITA ? Is the Nitto RB30 block badly engineered???

This is the sort of info I was after, thanks :)

I am going to see what they say about the height issue, maybe they have a method that works for them as they would have fitted them before. They usually tell me if what I want causes a problem , so I will wait to hear back from them.

Apart from the height issue, what you have said makes me want it even more :wub:

I could slow your car down and get it into the 13s, I would drive it :woot:

I will stop being a PITA for the rest of the night :blush: well try ?

Serious thanks :action-smiley-069:

Huh, call Rob, ask for motor, you pay, he sends, you receive.

I have just emailed him to see what he has to offer.

I do not understand, I buy a complete motor from them or the same as I am going to get here, what do I do with it when I get it?

What do I do with my motor.

Sure sounds messy to me , I do not live in Sydney I live in the bush.

Guess I will wait until I get a response from Rob

Here, I drop the car off and go back when it is finished, and then pay, all to easy :) Anything goes wrong with it they are in Sydney not NZ

If you build a NITTO 3.2, you'll have your bottom end left over anyway.

I know but the car will be with my mechanic and someone will have to do the work if I get something from NZ.

My bloke might also find someone to buy the leftovers? I do not want to chart it around.

I am still not sure what happens, is it a full motor or just the same parts my mechanic will order????

It will be interesting to get a quote and find out exactly what I would get

If you buy from Rips he will do whatever you want from a short block to a fully functional engine or anywhere in between. if you get the short block you can get it shipped to your mechanic and then drop your car off to him and then sell off the left over parts later.

Will Spool imports supply you a ready built 3.2 short block with awd sump?

Hi Brett

It seems there are a few problems doing the stroker but if you could do it without the hassle, would you????

I am lucky I can afford to have the work done, drop the car off and pick it up , hassle free :)

Imagine if you can lifting the head on your car 38mm, that is the problem with the RB30 block, the high deck setup lifts it 20mm, the BC kit leaves it where it is

BC kit 2.9ltr

RIPs is 3ltrs

Nitto is 3.2ltrs

The BC and type R poncams is the best option for what you want alround, but wait and see what Jim wants to tell you ( 3.2ltr kit as he is part owner of Nitto iirc ) and get a costing for it

Then contact Power Tune and get a costing for the BC kit, by the you will have a price from Rob so you can better decide what to do

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
