Oh I suppose I could have posted a dyno plot of an R34 GTR with stock turbos vs the same car running an RB30DET with a T04Z:

Overlay Paul's dynograph in Twoogle too, that would be interesting.

Bare in mind Dirt Garage's car was built to basically set records, the R34 was put together to be an awesome street friendly one- more about drivability and general accessible grunt. A better comparison would probably be one of a RIPS built street/drag car running an RB30DET with a GT4202R on it - here is a comparison of each of their pump gas tunes.

(edit: I had the RB30DET T04Z overlayed initially but it looked like a lower powered big block V8 compared with a RB26 so it wasn't really a logical comparison)

How do you drive the car (drag, street, circuit, etc.) and how often?

All of the above. It's just started to see some circuit action but have also had it down the drags (just the once on shitty old tyres). It's built as a track day car and am planning on doing more events / track days in the near future. It certainly won't do a 9 and I would say at a push with better tyres etc it may, just may crack an 11.0.

I drive it everyday I can but I work offshore and overseas so probably do max 5000kms per year in it. The response is awesome and pulls like a train (Ant Scali's technical term) to 8000rpm. Feels like it's got a lot more than 522hp now and as I write this planning to get some more tuning done as soon as I get home.

I guess whether to rebuilt with a stroker or not is a generally a personal preference in how you want your GTR to deliver its power/torque.

It is easy to see why people are looking at RB30 blocks when it comes to a rebuild, results speak for themselves, so does the price of the block. I am not sure about what needs to be done to make it fit into a 4WD GTR (my guess is a lot), but would be a good comparison pricewise. Full RB26 build to handle 10000rpm vs a built RB30. Maybe I have missed the point of the thread?

Anyway, I would rebuild my RB26 to handle mad rpm, but, considering the point of this thread I would go the JUN 2771cc to stay true to some sort of Nissan Motorsport heritage (the GT cars in Japan are 2771cc I believe).

$12k for a standard rebuilt bottom end RB30..no thanks.

I don't know where you got that info from, our forged shortblocks that hold over 1000hp arn't even that expensive.

Our rebuilt stock internal bottom ends start at $4000.

It would be nice if you could get your facts right before you post

Hey Rob, Just wanna say nice work on all your cars, you are by far the best fabricator ive seen.

Should start trading on SAU, im sure you would get alot of business once people see your threads on the UK based forum eg Black r34 gtr and black drag gtr.

That build thread kept me entertained for ages.

+1 ... All the work I have seen come from your shop is absolutely stunning, not to mention I have watched some pretty astounding videos where some of the cars you built are at the drag strip. Props my friend, props!

I got in contact with Rob From RIPS today and basically for a fully built turn key RB30/RB26 good for 850+whp what I'm looking at is in the area of $40,000 plus. This kit is basically a turn key kit with everything and I mean everything included. I was adding things up for the total build and its actually more, plus you gotta factor in all the time and extra labor when it come to building a whole car like that. So looks like I know which route I'm going.

I've just decided I'm gonna put the car down for a while and just do the entire build at once. I better start working more hours and saving more money lol! :ninja:

Sorry it might be that my brain is on holiday today - but I'm not quite sure what you mean by you have decided. Does this mean you are going to do RB30? And if so you will soon, or will wait for a while first?

+1 on the list :D

Most people don't realise how much is involved in doing a high power re-power properly.

When you build a real good bottom end with big oil pump, big sump, good quality front damper, balancing etc, water pump, cam belt etc etc, then buy a brand new head and get world class porting and fill the head with tomei components then use good studs, good gaskets and cover the 3 or 4 days labour it takes to properly blueprint and assemble a complete long motor your up to nzd30-32k for a long motor easy as.

Then you start adding ex manifold, turbo, dump pipe, oil and water lines, air intake, wastegate, screamer, gaskets etc, intake plenim, throttle body, injectors, fuel rail, fpr, rocker covers and other covers with custom paint etc and you can soon see how it all adds up.

From what I have been told, its very common for a UK built 1000hp capable motor without all the extras to be 25k pounds at least and the top guys there are only running similar mph in their pro GTRs as we have run in our heavier street car with street tyres so we give very good value for money.

basicly, it soon adds up to alot more than most think when they start there "1000hp" build.

What percentage of the cost would you apply to the head versus the bottom end Rob?

And why would you go for a brand new head?

    • 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.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
