Stock R33 bottom end before I rebuilt it (not due to failure of bottom end, just crank keyway) managed 352RWKW for ages no probs and reved her up to 8500rpm. Serviced it every 5000k and then 3000k's though, oil and filter.

600HP at the crank is a well known limit for a stock bottom end.

Rods are good for 400rwkw plus.

Pistons are pretty good, but will only take so much detonation/poor tuning before they fail.

Crank will take a lot, cars running up to 1000hp.

Oil pump and drive is a big problem with 32 cranks especially.

Blocks are good for a lot, unless bored out excessively, 1991,1992 had issues with cracking. N1 block (24U) is the serious block for big power...

Thats a quick rundown, other guys will add what I have missed. There is also a s%#t load of info when you do a search too.

Cheers.

Did you try the search button?

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Po...+internals+rb26

There are plenty more threads where that came from too.

Please have a search around.

na i didnt even think about it, sorry guy and gals.

so with what i have read and researched 315kwatw is a safe power output for my `93` 32gtr?

the next stage of my car mods will be a engine rebuild but not for another 6-8 months (to raise funds), ive had garrett gt2860r turbos put on about 3 months ago and with them running at 40% ( about 10lb boost) the car still made 315kwatw, when they tuned it i told them i wanted it at a very safe level for standard internals but really when it comes down to it i have know idea whats on the inside, for all i know it could be chocka block full of jun parts.

and if anyone wants to know martin donnan tunes my car

cheers

Usage makes a huge difference my 32gtr let go on the track making 427 hp at the wheels on a stock bottom end

I suspect would still be kicking hard of it wasn't used on the track. No oil mods just a catch can and baffled rocker covers!

next on will have all the oil control mods under the sun. there is a huge thread on oil control mods for drift track on here just search

sydneykid started the thread I think.

I remember seeing her in da dvd serious performance 7; seemed so innocent but she will blow your bottom end.

Not bad mate; pretty much a whole car worth.

      Chris' R34 GTT Series 2

      By hoodedreeper · Posted

      Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.
