any tips on the rb30

Sell it :)

All jokes aside, it really depends on what sort of set up your chasing, if you want it to remain legal/street registered or a trailer queen? Whats your budget, auto/manual, are you only wanting to do engine work or rest of drive train etc???

Give us some more details and we can offer some advice :)

i would like a rb30 turbo setup not sure to go rb25 head tho street legal registered budget is 6000+ i have a mf5 5speed and just looking to do the engine at the moment

Well would pay to look around for a blown rb25det with harness

Then bolt it together then get a plenum, high mount turbo about a gt3540 size, power fc, 550cc injectors and you should get about 270-280rwkws or so

thank you mate

Or not, I mean you could buy all the same stuff, good standalone ecu, or Nistune for the stock ECU, and make the same power with the original head for the price of a couple of psi more boost.

$6k won't get you an RB25 head swap and good support parts, but you might squeak it in with the SOHC head.

well im doin up a a rb30 and just after any tips at the moment its my first time

Is it an N/A VL? I'm assuming it is.

Your gearbox will limmit you to around 200 rwkw... after that it will break. (If it's a VL turbo box.... 250 rwkw and not much more.)

Dont bother with a twin cam swap...

Basic Recipe:

- Basic re-build, with turbo pistons, good bearings and good oil pump. Clean the head up and use a new timing belt

- New injectors, z32 afm, upgraded ignition coil, nistune and a VL turbo computer.

- Front mount intercooler, VL turbo exhaust manifold, T3 flanged- internal wastegate turbo of choice and plumbing.

- Ancillaries... clutch, consumables, hoses, pipe work, exhaust, intake, plugs etc...

Tune it and go...

BUT- Dont forget to upgrade your brakes, suspension and brain.

If you want a quick streeter, keep it simple. if you want to go fast... how fast do you want to spend???

cheap- reliable- fast ... pick 2.

If this is your first build up... be warned, cars and speed is addictive!

Cheers

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
