Hello all.

I've have a question about RB31DET's.

What makes them 31's, different from the 30's?

I have a series 2 N/A RB30 that I'm bolting a RB26 head to & putting it in my Z32. I'm going to be using forged pistons antway & was wondering if the RB31 is just a overbored RB30. I've been searching around on here & the interweb but can't find the info on what makes a RB31 a RB31.

Any replys would be graetfully received.

Thanks

Stu.

Thanks for the info guys.

87mm bore with stock stroke is only 3032cc, your far better to keep the bore as thick as possible and if you want a RB31 or bigger go with a stroker crank with custom pistons and rods etc.

Not worth the trouble/expense unless your after something different and even more torque than a 30.

A well built 30 is usually plenty in any case.

Hi Rob

Since no one has asked the question I will.

What does one of your RB33 stroker kits cost ? and what does it consist of ?

I am just curious as are a few on these forums.

Cheers

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
