not sure about the prices, we pay 900 for them in AUS, not sure if its 900 in NZ or what the go is.

i think clearancing will be all,you will have to have a decent search on the hydraulic lifters in the head.

as i said before, depending, some people have issues at over 350rwkw,i think larger cams may impact also? dont quote me on it though.

in the below thread are all the RB cam specs

Really depends where you want to make the power, my mate has 280' 10.5mm cams in his 25DET/30+T04Z, it's a bit laggy but fkn screams to 8000+, oh and sounds awesome :rofl:

I'm sticking with the DE cam for now as they made decent power in the last 30 setup, 365rwkw @ 21psi through a pair of 2540s (bad), stock throttlebody/plenum (RB20), and I'd prefer the lower down from the shorter duration, I'm not bolting a HUGE turbo (GT35R) on so small cams and keeping the rev limit sensible (7500ish depending on when it stops making power) is the name of the game for me.

I found the NZ version, it's $1200 nz...darn you auzzies and your exchange rate etc lol

will have a look into the lifters and see what I can find out, short on time atm haven't looked yet

Haha I checked out a few videos of t04z + worked cam rb's and they do sound f***ing AMAZING! lol

More looking for midrange power than huge lag tho...do you think the Kelford 272's 9.35 or the 262 9.3 would still respond pretty well without lagging like a freight train?

Already have a 25 head to use haha

plus over here at least 26 heads are ridiculous prices, waaay more than doing a solid lifter conversion anyway lol (seen a bare rb26 head, ie no valves valve springs cams or cam gears going for near $1800 lol), and since i'm gonna have the 25 head apart to be reconditioned anyway...

which brands make a good solid lifter kit for rb's?

Just waiting on my solid lifter conversion kit to arrive.

Its a supertec setup that includes oversize inlet and exhaust valves, Solid lifters, dual valve springs, Retainers.

Dan at ERD organised it for me. Website below

I'd go for something around 260' in the biggest lift you can get (that will still fit your head).

Awesome, if you don't mind my askin how much did it sting you? PM me if you want.

Let me know how it works out for ya and how easy it is to install

Sounds good lol, now I don't know much bout cams so forgive me if this is a stupid question, if I go ahead with the solid lifter conversion will this affect how much lift there'll be in the head?

Just out of interest what did that cost you, if you don't mind me asking?

If you get cams to suit hydraulic lifters, and then do a solid lifter conversion, it will run like crap as the ramp rates (time for starting to open to full open, vice versa for closed) are different for hydraulic and solid lifters.

I think you only need solids if revving high as the hydraulics get to a point where they can no longer pump up in time before the next cycle.

around the 2500 mark mate. The conversion allows you a much more aggressive camshaft setup. (higher lift and more duration etc) Plus its way lighter than a hydro setup.

For this engine I'm planning to get an internal lift pump surge tank and two Bosch 044 pumps for the surge tank to engine, but I'm just after an idea for the actual surge tank and lift pump...what size surge tank would I need? What brands have you guys use and found good? And what kind of in tank lift pump would I need? As above engine setup will be RB30det with t04z aiming for 500rwhp

Hey

my setup is still in the process of being sourced / built

but as for surge tank, I'm using a 3L tank to 2 x 044 externals, walbro feed pump, 6 x 1000cc injectors

on a 26/30 with gt3076r 0.82 on E85... hoping for around 350rwkw...

:)

Awesome, the 044's seem to be popular in most of the magazine articals I've seen just none of them list the size of the surge tank or lift pump lol. What sort of walbro lift pump are you looking at?

Wish e85 was commonly available over here...tho to be fair Im gonna be using mine on the street mostly so probably not practical lol...but still. lol

Okay, probably won't really be needed then, I'm only really planning to rev limit it at about 8000-8250 or so, so the hydraulic lifters will be able to handle that correct?

Not sure at 8000rpm.. I'm going to suck it and see how they go.

That's pretty overkill.. the 3L+T04Z I mentioned earlier is only running 1x 044 intank.

I asked my tuner a while ago whether I should run a surge tank and he said don't bother, they mounted an 044 nice and low in the tank for me and assured me that it would do the job as that's how they run all their drift cars. It went from surging if under half a tank when throwing 'nuts, to being able to whip 'nuts with no surging under 1/4 of a tank.

I'm only shooting for 500rwhp but I've got 1000cc injectors so IF we ever get E85 over here, I should only need to upgrade the pump setup.

pretty sure there is a thread for the fuel systems here somewhere,

a stock in tank pump is fine for the lift pump 2-4l seems to be the go for tanks,

make it a round one, as they are meant to swirl the fuel so no air gets in there.

Awesome thanks man! Is this another get one custom made sorta thing or are they fairly commonly available?

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
