hey crimmo i was just wondering how much did it cost u to get a RB20DET and where abouts did u get it from. also hows the swap going.

Hey boyd, i bought my RB20DET from Japanese Motorsport, it cost $1650, they were on special and i think they still may be. I also bought a VG30 turbo, 1 piece dump pipe + front pipe and a big f*** off front mount :D

The swap is going a bit slow, wiring looks imposible, and i think i will be taking it to fours'n'more to be wired up.

As for the cooler piping, i think ill run it over the rad pipe, not sure yet though, i will post some picture later today of the conversion so far :)

Coming along wickedly Crimmins mate!! Keep it up!!! Only issue is, ur motor was auto ay?? Is the stock ECU gonna be happy with the now manual conversion??? Just food for thought....Cooler looks like a nice fit to!

Josh i want them cupholders bro they rock :D

Crimmo nice work!Coming together well and should be a sweet ride.

DR JOSH thats one dirty engine!I gather it came of the boat like that as a front cut i just bought was a little grotty also.What did it spin up on the dyno.(Mine also needed people sitting on the boot due to the ark age rear suspension)

Here are some pics of the conversion so far

Stu_R30: Any tips for the wiring? How much need to be done before it will start/run? any pics?

i'll try to post up some pics of what my wiring looks like as i didnt do it and it looks like its all over the place, but it works!! also crimmo, those watanabe RS8 rims, what size are they as i'm looking at a set tommorro (ref to post 340 on page 14 for pic) any tips as thier wider than the hayashi's that were on the car to start with!

P.S. my car will be fin and engineered half way through next month in standard power output then once on road, rb25 turbo and unichip running the ECU she should be good for around 180-200rwkws!!

crimmo - to get them four spots on did you change to the r31 gts struts or did you adapt them with the standard mr30 stuff? im looking to do the 4spot converison soon and i have the 31 gts struts. anyone know of and hassles with this? and also crimmo, where did ya get that tower brace thingo (the blue thing) and how much?

also crimmo - was your car auto l24 once and did you get dragged by a trashed r30 with an rb20 down paynhem rd? (a while ago now)

Well you ain't getting the cup holders.

That was standard with a 3" turbo back exhaust. Made 117RWKW. It now has a cooler and some more boost and pulls alot harder yet to see what it makes, but I reckon somewhere round 140. Yep those pics are from it over in Japan still. And the engine bay still hasn't been cleaned to this day. They were the only photos I saw before I bought it and was very happy with it when it came over.

Josh/Crimmo when all our cars are back on the road well go have some cruisy fun and take some happy snaps..Maybe organise some kinda R/HR/DR30 cruise?? Those cup holders will be mine :cheers:

Mike Cash yeah Crimmo's car used to be L24 auto so yeah was prolly his...I beleive that they are S13 struts that he has used in the nose of his car as well, don't quote me exactly on that (my memory is CRAP) but imm pretty sure bout that...He'll explain it when he's on next i guess..

:inlove:

haha yes i do remember sitting on it with it trying to break lose on the dyno good fun :cheers:

josh very nice looking in not too bad condition for its age.

i just picked up a tower brace today $140 for a CUSCO hr30 brace in the same blue, was waiting for whiteline to make them but found this one instead!

problems - got it all wired up, she cranks, sounds like its about to kick over...then just keeps crankin

its got spark and fuel...timing perharps?

just about ready to set it on fire ...

i have this problem with my r31 every once and a while, theres a temp sensor linked to the injectors that plays up, it will shut the injectors off, no fuel flow at all, with my wiring there is a wire running from, ok you know where the radiator connects to the head at the top there are two sensors, now the one closest to the head has a wire running to some wires connecting to a plug at the fire wall where the wiper motor is! there are something like 8-10 wires running into it, different colours, do you have anything like this with your wiring?

Josh/Crimmo when all our cars are back on the road well go have some cruisy fun and take some happy snaps..Maybe organise some kinda R/HR/DR30 cruise??  Those cup holders will be mine ;)

Mike Cash yeah Crimmo lives on Glynburn road bro and his car used to be L24 auto so yeah was prolly his...I beleive that they are S13 struts that he has used in the nose of his car as well, don't quote me exactly on that (my memory is CRAP) but imm pretty sure bout that...He'll explain it when he's on next i guess..

cool. im up for a r30 cruise, that'll be wild, wipe some smiles off some HSV owners faces!

As I said I'll be down for a cruise just gotta get my little bit of damage fixed and front end back on. As would Tom, corey and Aids???? maybe mick if he buys it no doubt. We could get some decent numbers out with all decent cars. Show what old school skylines can do. A couple of weeks till my new clutch will be in. How long are others expecting to be off the road for? Shane not much longer now? crimmo?

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
