After a broken valve spring demolished my last 25 it was (or so I thought) the easier option to drop in a fresh forged 30 engine I had in waiting.

Quite surprised at how many little changes need to be made to make it work such as oil and water lines, vct oil feed, engine mounts etc.

If all stays on track we should be on the rollers as early as next monday so heres hoping for some same 450/ 500 hp fun at less revs.

This is a sad day for SAU... :(

Its actually a sad day for me Ash. I loved the wail of the 25 givin it to some bogan at powercruise with more engine out of the bonnet than under it. I guess I'll never realise the full potential of the setup now. However i just cant afford to continue down the same path.

What really cuts me is that beautiful cylinder head is now a doorstop, That was the last straw, I either find a way to do it without leaning on it so hard or i go lawn bowling.

Noel, do you have any better pics of your cars rear guard flaring ? Being black , i found it very hard to notice what you had done in your other thread, whenever that was :(

Welcome to the club.. i have a spare forged 30 sitting inside the house too.. only cause i can't afford the 26 head work yet !! Tempted to just whack it under the current 5cyl RB25 for the sprint season.

Indeed, i gotta say i loved my RB25 as well, not as much as the 26 though... lol.

Tell me you are going 25NEO/30 with VCT and 26 intake... hahaha :(

Its quite minor gary. The guards have only been pulled about 15 mil.

When my mate gets back from hols with his big mofo canon camera I will try and get some pics that show it more.

what you on about willis, the 30 drops into a GTST without any mods to the engine mounts (or are you using a standard intake manifold?).

The rb30 'forklift' (thanks paul) will pick up and crush an rb26 in every aspect of performance let alone the rb25 :P

The r35gtr has increased capacity for every logical reason, easy and effortless power delivery.

My previous rb26 feels like a 2 stroke in comparison haha.

Anyways, will be good to get your take on it when you kick your rb30 in the guts

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
