read the thread mate

all the info you need

the pdf is also a good summary

AFAIK the rb30et single cam head is a fair bit taller than the dohc head, which means you will have clearance issues with the bonnet.

At the very, very least build a twincam 30 with the 20 head. Or, do it properly with a 25 or 26 head.

Is it the head or the manafold that has the clearance issues

^^ I would imagine the head AND the manifold (head at the front, manifold in the middle).

My bonnet rubs on the top lip of the timing belt cover (that goes over the backing plate) and the front corner of the intake manifold.. if the 30et is any taller then you'll have mucho problems with stock manifold!

my 31 30et was an awesome car to drift cheap and reliable

i could clutch kick 4th at 130ks easy and it wouln spin up new 235 17s

and i only wont 200rwkw but i wont my 500nm back

drift is not always about puting out big power

OT, but 200rwkw will have a lot more traction in an r32 than an r31.

i did the singo cam 30 in my 32 drift car for a season, the torque was great fun but now buildin the thing from scratch with 26 head on it, will be even better.

i never had a problem with clearance issues running the standard 32 mounts. i did though have a custom inlet plenum with good ole XF throttle body. lol

and yes the 32 will have more traction than the 31.
