Hey

I have a quick tech question someone may be able to help me with.

In regards to preparing RB30 Crankshafts. I noticed a lot of people talk about grub screwing the crank

(Screw in oil gallery plugs fitted)

Where are these located on the crank and what is involved? I have a crank here and I'm going to take it to a local machinist to have some similar work done and there but there not what you would call a ' performance' shop but they do good quality work. If I have a rough idea of what is involved and the location it would make it easier to explain it to them if they are not 100% sure.

A close up picture if available of the finished product would be helpful.

Thanks for your time; any help will be much appreciated!

I wouldnt call it oil....more like solidified chunks of crap!

Thinners and rifle barrel brushes and clean all the holes out.

Tap, and bam!

Grub screwed, so next time you clean your crank out, you just remove the grab screws and then clean, then reloctite them back in! :down:

grub screwing is just a more reliable/re-serviceable way to plug the galleries than the factory pressed in plugs. you need to remove the plugs to clean the shit out of the oil galleries

any machine shop will know what to dom we do ALL rb and SR cranks just for safety. Many v8 builds its a pre

requisite.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
