Funny thing is I like it how everyone says every man and his dog has a R33 But I hate to say it R32's are f@rken everywhere now. So I wouldnt say that any more.

but yer throw RB25 in, I think thats what the R32's needed all along, GTR proves that :wave:

Maybe in your area, but around my place i only see R33's.....I suppose it depends on where you are located.

I was thinking of getting a R33 when I had my R32 as well... Then 2 weeks later a chick smashed into the side of it and it was a wright off... :)

So once i got the cash back I ended up getting a R33. Thought I might as well do the upgrade. The R32 was great for going sideways and doing burnouts, but the R33 does feel alot more comfortable to drive and the dash doesnt rattle, lol.

I think if your using it as a daily driver the R33 would be nicer to drive and it has the RB25DET! Which feels and sounds very Nice! :/ but the R32 was alot more fun!! Depends what your looking for :wave:

I keep saying it.. but know one listens... if I could get it working with AWD id have it in my GTR :wave:

lol coz 1 it wont work with awd

and 2 it cost waaaaaaaay to much

and i think the ls1 is a better engine?

hmm something to think about i geuss, iv seen good drag times with those motors, saw a 9 sec pass once

wont be a 9 sec car without spending 100k son

11s or 12s is prolly more realistic if you can get the power down

ps you will need to take into consideration supporting mods when doing a hi-po rb30 rebuild

eg, injectors 700-800

clutch 1k

ecu 2k

diff 1.5k

rb25 gearbox as your 20 will just do a round the world with the 30s torque 1.5k

and the initial engine rebuild 8k~ varies alot pending parts

All that stuff is the same for any hipo build, it's not exclusive to RB30s. The point was, if "building" an engine, look at building a 30.

You can built a budget 30 and come in well under 2k if you wanted to. If you have higher aspirations (like I did), then you should be looking at all those other things too.

My 30 cost just over 2k to build (I did get a good deal on a block/forged piston/head setup), so it's not just a stocker build. As soon as I built it I had to go spend about another 3k on injectors, z32 afm and a tune.

Already had a good clutch, 25 box was already on the cards (that was a 2.5k excercise what with custom tailshafts etc). Oh and then there's the 1.6k for a GT35R, $500 for a TiAl gate, then we get onto exhaust manifold and exhaust fabrication I have to do. Intake manifold that has to be made. Just picked up a full 32R cooler piping setup which should make things easier.

BASICALLY, you need a goal to work towards. My goal is 400rwhp (with lots of lowdown drivability) with headroom for more and I believe my setup will do it easily.

If you just want a bit more *poke*, then a cheap standard 30 build is leagues ahead of 20. A similar "cheap" setup would be to drop a standard 25 and box in there and leave it at that.

If you want lots of power then you gotta be prepared to spend the coin where it's needed!

i was thinkn just a 25, larger turbo, new ecu, cams, clutch, injectors, fuel pump, inlet manifold and a tune would keep my happy for a bit
That's pushing 10k right there.

thats 10k in parts not even labour yet

sell 32 get an 33 and save yourself 4k?

inlet manifold would also require custom pipe work more $$ there

nothing wrong with the stock one unless your going berserk

how much hp can stock injectors on a rb25 flow?

The y31 Cima had an VH41DE AWD option :)

But yes it would cost to much, for now...

2 guys I know of are attempting it, one in NZ, one in Sydney

mmmmmmm would be awesome even without awd :huh:

definately a good idea for a unique car me thinkz

You've spent more than 10k to get where? a mildly modded RB20? you need a goal and to plan how to spend the next 10k wisely!

I have a loooooooooooooong term plan to eventually put a VH41 in the 32 when I get bored with the 30, there was a guy over east selling a VH41 with crossmember and mounts to suit 32.. I tried to buy the Xmember and mounts off him but no sale :blink:

Oh, why inlet manifold? the stock will flow enough for about 365rwkw. I wouldn't change it unless you're in my boat where you need bonnet and pipework clearance with a large high mount.

And I think stock 25t injectors flow enough for a little over 300rwhp..

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.

      The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
