Just a quick intro on my ride http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Hr31-Gts-t228525.html

I have been reading thru this section and partly thru the (167pages of the r33 rb25-30) thread for a few weeks, I have been inspired to do something different with my car.

At home in the garage I have a R33 S2 RB25DET and a R31 S3 Rb30E

I want to build a 25-30 NA, to plonk into the HR31.

I need some recommendations on building a high compression NA hybrid.

What I plan for the block so far, full strip down clean etc. hone, new big end bearings main bearings, if in good condition re use rods, new bolts etc. but unsure weather to use rb30 pistons, balance crank.

Basically give the block a freshen up.

Need some advise on combination of OEM pistons to use with head gasket to get a high CR (9:1 or close?) for throttle response, head shaved etc.

There seems to be so much wealth of knowledge and experience here any help or tips is much appreciated.

What would a more realistic CR for a NA be?

I was thinking of leaving the VVL head functional.

I reasearched the 26 ITB set up it would be definatly the top choice, however i would like to get the engine together then look at more development in the future. for now sticking with a custom plenum and single TB.

Gonna run standard R33 ECU and on 98RON petrol.

Im using;

RB25DET head, RB30e Block, RB30e Pistons.

This should give an approx CR of 8.3-1

Just not sure on head gasket, will prob use a RB30

I will have the block shaved to Xmm to increase CR.

My question is how many Xmm to shave to increase CR to a good level for NA. taking into account pump fuel and standard ECU?

Not trying to knock what you are doing, but just remember that it is unlikely you will make more than 160rwkw, which is easily achievable with any of the turbo ortions. I would take this into account when building it, and allow for the fact that you may want to turbo it in the future.

Well my initial plan was to go turbo i have the 25mani and turbo. but i just wanted the simplicity of NA. I thought 160kw more guts from down low and throttle responce would still make some fun in the 31.

Im still open to beeing talked into turbo..

So what ecu would people reccomend to use as i have just read that the 33 can not be retuned,, is that correct?

power-fc, otherwise late model SAFC with the oem ecu, all depends on how simple you keep it.

my first motor was one of these in an aus spec 31, mid range is great. Used rb25de non turbo pistons and ran off the OEM ecu entirely. It was a fairly basic setup but just hi comp with hacked up rb30 extractors to suit the 25 head.

Any idea on what kw it made?

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
