I assume adriano was implying that you use what ever head ur currently running in ur skyline

So no additional cost for the head

It would be legendary to see someone do a $150 rebuild and thrash the guts out of the thing, brilliant value

its already been done. from memory they did the whole conversion for $1000 you need to use the R32 RB25DE head if you want it to be a cheap bolt off bolt on affair. the R33 head will require modification to work.

ok ive done it

wrecker bottom end $50

timming belt $55

head gasket (reused a comeic we had laying around)

vvt line $90

labour (free im a mehanic and case for the boys for helping)

bolted all the accessries on which includes a massive turbo

end results 560hp at the wheels on 19psi the car has raced and run 5x10sec passes and over 100 dyno passes it has aslo done about 3000km of street driving. you cant beat bn rb30 for value

Well bugger me! I have had a series 2 RB30e block in the shed for about 4 years, wanting to do this project..

What stopped me was I was going to add new pistons and rods.. Looks like I'm about to get busey!

I have an R33, have big turbo, have apexi have $700 in the bank!.. hmmm.. Thanks for the inspiration guys!

I will go chat with my mechanic mate on monday.

ohh, will the stock intake manifold hit the bonnet? I know this is probably covered somewhere, so can somebody give me a link or thread to go and inspire me and my mate a little further?

Thanks

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
