The RB26 and RB30 gaskets dont have the provisioning for the oil feed up front so the water gallery hole should match the block.

With the oil restrictors some people make them a little larger (from memory status suggested larger than 1.5mm) but i wouldn't be going any smaller.

wouldnt there be a small chance of the water damaging the head gasket if its hitting it directly over time?

so thats 1.5mm on each oil feed correct?

could i fab these up myself with some cylindrical copper/stainless lengths? what would the OD of it have to be?

A slapper, is slapped together, with the mind set of "She'll be right"

You're doing a rebuild.

im doing the bare minimum on this thing mate. pretty much the things that will worry me in the future, other than that its going straight together with parts ive got laying around.

Yes restrictors in both, however they are only ~$30 each premade. At the end of the day your time to fab them up yourself isnt worth it.

If you keep it below 6500RPM, and keep boost below 18PSi, she'll be sweet man.

Unless you're a thrasher, that goes out every weekend ripping massive 2nd and 3rd gear burnouts.

Even then still depending how you drive it'll hold together for a while. My setups, I'd have no issues running IF I were just driving around on the street and the occasional WSID meet. But mine ONLY lives at driving events... Hence, a hard hard life...

They're easy!

Why do people dread them so much? :S

theyre a pain in the ass without a decent high powered air tool set i've found. the block is still in the ute so i might just drive it over to a workshop.

i wont keep it below 6500 because this entire time ive had an rb30 i havent been able to enjoy it properly since the motor kept failing on me. im going to build this one with at least the minimum covered so i can use it for something other than something to swear at.

its officially started. ive stripped it down, just need to start ordering parts.

im still a bit iffy about using the stock rb30 oil pump.

If you want a cheap fix, and to avoid touching your old motor (To avoid court complications) go buy a second hand RB25DET, use the head off of it. Use the oil pump from it.

Gives you the harmonic balancer you need also.

i just centre punched the new location for the idler. ill rip the harmonic balancer off and get the old tensioner stud off tomorrow so i can get the right size studs and drill bit... might as well replace both.

ok a little update:

i drilled and tapped the new idler location, like r33 racer said its a 8.5mm drill bit and a M10x1.5 tap. tested and worked perfect. i drilled JUST into the water galley but the guide says if you seal it it'll be fine, you wont get the whole thread in if you dont go that deep anyway... picture time:

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
