Was on the dyno today... and was chasing a issue.. no one noticed this...

I was puzzled so got someone else to drive the car on the dyno while i inspect the engine bay and guess what i saw?

man its times like this i love my job... i cannot stop laughing.

that is nasty. just imagine how much a restriction it must be to be able to suck itself shut. even if you put a rigid frame in it the restriction it's causing is huge. would be interesting to measure the vacuum in the intake pipe!

Want to thank you for this thread, I've just read it all and you're doing things lots if us wish we could!

All this talk of big fat 4wd's with monster snails is giving me some evil thoughts though!

Any idea where I can go to read and learn more about the particular requirements for each? Is the Toyota or Nissan a better place to start you reckon?

And your car, it has R34 Gtr diff gear in it. Yyyyyyyyucky! :)

here the land cruiser 1fz and the nissan tb48 are just as popular as each other.

people like the nissan better because of the VCT, (they call them VTEK) and people like the land cruiser because when you build them they can take a massive amount of power and they are half the price of the vtek engines.

Just do exactly what you would do with a skyline except go for some big big cams and lower then 8:1 compression and get a gt45 turbo :)

R34 gtr ? damn.. can i just drop a r32 gtr diff into it?

Here is a car i tuned the other day... Starting to like Haltech more and more these days.

  • 2 weeks later...

nah the manuals are the strongest box's

I picked up a full r32 gtr rear diff today, it cost me $430 us, then a friend offered to help me go pick it up, and offered me a brand new set of tomei pro cams lash type 270s in box, 2 tomei cam gears in box and brand new 1.2 mm tomei head gasket for my old r34 diff, who was i to knock back his offer? and he actually gave me them... they are legit lol. its going on my rb30

Also when i was at the place today picking up the diff, i tripped over a Holden RB30 single cam with auto trans, i swear i had to look twice, i thought i pollymorphed into wrecking yard in sydney for a second and had to get my bearings back... WTF. and they only wanted $400 for it, it definatly came from Aus they knew what it was.

UAE is one big f**king surprise after the other i tell you, might go and pick it up next week, need to try convince the boss to use it for his drag car.

Yes :)

Okay, i pretty much blew the GT35r, i drove it for a while when it was half gone and then it jammed and wouldnt even spin, and started spitting oil :(

This is my second GT35r on this car, they last less then 4 years, both turbos lasted 3 years each! sucks! is this normal for the BB GT series turbo's?

So i got a new list of parts to install the car, what a perfect time! do it all together!

Parts to go in motor!

Nissan Infinity Throttle Body and backing plate

Tomei adjustable cam gears x 2

Tomei 1.2mm head gasket (not needed)

Tomei 270 cams, hydro types (no springs as of yet going to try my luck the lift aint too much on them)

Bullseye 259 turbocharger

Bye bye stock cams, we have been through alot together! Summernats, power cruise, WSID, 3 different countries, all kinds of street racing and drifting, 10.8 seconds at 135mph - time to move onto some upgrades, emissions tests not needed here!

Cams out!

I decided to try my luck and find some parts to freshen up the cam train of the ol RB30DET, so i looked around, to my suprise i found some goodies to make everything back to new again! I could not believe it!!!

1x RB30DET cam belt, old stock Mitsubish diesel item, it had sooo much dust on it. (you wont find a RB25 one here but the 2530DET you can!)

1 x Timing belt tensioner

2 x cam front seals

1 x crank front seal

Total price??? 175 UAE Dirams, converted to english ?? $51.00 AUD. FIFTY 1 DOLLARS. WTF.. Nissan parts are sooo cheap here! You guys are getting ripped back home!

Also i snapped a cam cap bolt taking it out, the indians working in the shop found out, bring the big welder out and i start shitting the gear WTF?? they weld it up and put a bolt on it and remove it no problems, but finding a new bolt? i looked everywhere, called all the nissans and nothing.. then i had a silly idea to check if the nissan TB48DE cam bolts fit, and what do you know? EXACT FIT!!! but they have been changed and look stronger then the RB25 ones! and we have many of those in the spare bolts bin in the engine build room, WINNER!!!

New cams installed, and ready to put back together

Car should be running again, the turbo is a S259 bullseye, borg warner, i am after a good streetable drift setup, i hear from people with experience from this turbo that says on a cammed rb30det it should make full boost before 3000rpm and up to around 500rwhp, if so il be one happy man!

Stay tuned for more updates, might add some water meth injection also.

Anyone have any ideas what i should do with the solinoid of the VCT ? i want to remove the wires and use it for my water meth injection, can i just remove the solinoid and block it? leave it disconnected ? or connect it to ground perm?

if your not running vct just leave the solenoid in there unplugged. or a short bolt if you have one in the right thread, dont block up the oil gallery though as it feeds the front cam journal aswell as the vct

no results yet, still trying to get my hands on 5 litres of 300v competition oil before loading it up, the turbo sounds great! just like a t51r!

I know its not skyline related, but this is a car i tuned yesterday.

its a packed kit. do not have any pulleys for it.

the headers and free flowing exhaust apparently brings the boost down a little also.

we will get heads and get a pulley for it later on. depends on the customer

421rwhp on less then 20psi, car sounds great and it burns the tires pretty good =)

Got boost control issues, its not going up when i tell it to. need to investigate solinoid and hoses and fix a exhaust leak on the manifold.

is that good power for the s259 ? anyone know?

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
