Ive finally got my RB30det started after a build lasting around 3 years.

Its a 32 head with 33gtr oil pump, blocked rear restrictor and tomei front one. The block and head have been completely rebuilt and we cranked the engine for ages with no spark to get the oil pressure up.

A comment a friend of mine made was the engine is a little noisy. He think it may be something to do with the valve setup.

Any opinions would be great? I couldnt run it any longer as i had a radiator leak. Oil is a mineral Castrol GTX for runnning in. We obviously werent able to get this hot?

May be paranoid but wouldnt mint other opinions from those who have been there done that, particularly with non Gtr engines.

Cheers

Perfectly normal for a rebuilt head. Mine as well as many others have done the same thing.

You'll have to take it for a spin that will pump the lifters back up and all will be sweet.

Check for leaks/oil pressure etc and take it for a spin. Remember no cruise, no deceleration in gear - pop her in neutral and give it plenty of throttle between 2-4k. :wacko:

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
