^_^ sorry was on a mates laptop and it started to get too me,

Im doing the 26/30 to my GTR and I have been told the twin turbo manafolds use a diffrent patten to the RB30 block.... I was wondering what other ppl have done to get around this?

I take it you just need to re stud the turbos for a longer bolt??

Also what about clarence in the engine bay? is there anything I need to move or watch out for?

My bottomend gave up on me and im am really wanting to do this conversion.

was thinking about S2 Block from a R31.

I would like to try and get the block to rev to around the same as the GTR 26 block but not too sure on what is needed to be done....

The engine from the R31 runs as it is now so eveything should be in somewhat of a working order.

so yer any help would be very cool :)

also I'm aiming at 400ish hp would like to get 450 if possable as thats a nice round figure.

If you're using a 26 head then your manifold bolt pattern hasn't changed..

It may be similar to the 25 head where I had to cut off a little bit of the bottom of the manifold as it clashes with the block.. is this what you were talking about?

are we talking stock block or rebuilt with the good stuff?

i dont think a stock rb30 will rev like a 26

even when built people seem to take then to 7500-8000rpm

you also need an adapter plate to get the awd working

The exhaust manifolds bolt to the head mate, not the block, you are using an RB26 head so there is no change.

That what I thought but cheers.

Also im trying to decide as to what I will need for 450 or so HP do I need to put the good stuff in or will he stock block handle it??

I have seen ppl EG. RIPS do some nice HP figures on just the stock bottom end so they seem to handle a little bit of power

the RIPS gear does use stock parts. however, they do not just take a stock block and slap a head on it, there is lots of prep to the bottom end to get it to do what they want.

I have read both threads but it's a little hard to try and sort through would be better if we could combine all the answers into a page or something.

Anyway I now have the answers I was looking for cheers guys sorry if I wasted some time but I really needed to know 100%

Also to titan cool didnt know that... But I guess they have to protect there research lol

stock gtr dump pipes wont clear the 30 block as there is a big overhang section on the top section of the block that Bubba also mentions. I have done the 30 into a 4wd car (stagea) and just used a 2wd sump for the time being and pulled the cv joins out of the front axles so i could bolt them back into the wheel hubs to hold the wheel bearings together. The dumps do need to be lengthened and not just 38mm added as they need to be spaced 38mm down but the dump flanges are on a 45 degree angle so u really need to make some new dumps. All the stock water and oil lines can be bent to fit on and the oil drains need to be remade and plumbed into the single oil drain on the 30 block. bonnet clearance is also an issue in a gtr from what ive read too. I also used a set of rb25 headbolts and that means u dont have to tap the 30 block headbolt holes bigger.

Most of the stuff is easy and cheap if your willing to get stuck in and also have abit of mechanical knowledge but if your paying a workshop it might be rather pricey.

Rather than starting a whole new thread why don't you just post your questions in the conversion sticky thread?

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
