Hey, i was wondering if it is at all possible or if anyone has already done this?

I have been doing some research and thought that using the RB26 block would have its advantages like the added strength as well as not fouling on the bonnet.

any ideas would be great

cheers

You would need a spacer between block and head or you will punch the pistons right through the head.

I believe that's the way they do it in Japan ala OSGiken 3L with custom crank/rods/pistons.

Note the deck spacer and sleeves :)

Yeah i also noticed the $31,000 US pricetag :)

just looking at different options at the moment, the vg30 has a shorter stroke and also custom pistons could be made to suit, i read somewhere that someone de-stroked the crank to 2.9 ltrs and put it together like that

Custom crank $5-6000

Custom pistons $1500

Custom rods (good ones) $1900

Waiting months and months when you couldve done a 3.0L, priceless.

If the racespec ones are in stock that would be a different story. One thing though, i dont like how they use 87.5mm bore.

Gold! :blink:

When Spools 3.4L kits become available (and if I have fundage) I'll start to build a 3.4L on the side to go into the skyline and the stag can have the current 30.

that would be sweet, hmmm have decided to just stick with the 30/26 been done before and dont want to fck something up trying to make my own hybrid engine

hmm now i have a complete rb26 bottom end to sell as well as a brand new R34 Nur Spec front diff and sump, any takers?

What's the deal with the sump? if it's fancy enough I could probably talk Mikey into it ;)

it wont fit in a 32 :) will only fit in a 33gtr or 34gtr, the 32 is too narrow for it to fit in, i got it with my engine as the person who sold it to me couldnt use it on his 32

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
