oh and in regards to the patrol pathfinder, etc block head combine, i was a bit off :cool:

you use the rb30 block, rb26 head and nissan Navara or pathfinder (forgot which one exactly, but a bit of google will surely ifnd it) pistons, conrods and crank.

they will make the engine to a 3.2 or 3.4l engine.

Care to elaborate on exactly how this "might" be possible? Larger pistons dont solve the problem of the block being thin in the bore. Fact is, you can not bore past 88mm with an RB block (all of them) before the cylinder thicknesses get below 2mm.

You can use that bore size if you wanted to grout fill the block as well, but thats not going to work for a street engine, as you would need to do a complete fill to get the strength in the block where it's needed (at the top 1-2" of the cylinder). Even then, an 88m bore is only 3.1lt anyway with an 85mm stroke.

Stroker crankshafts like the one that Spool are developing, combined with a sleeved block (to allow an 88mm bore) are about the only way you can get anywhere near 3.4lt.

3.2lt is easier to achieve. A 6" chevy rod with 1.88" big ends on an offset ground 87mm RB30 crank, with an 87.5mm piston will get you a 3.15lt. 87.5 is about as large as I've "read about" people running without sleeving (not my recommendation though). And you'd want to be dam sure about your tune, so you dont go splitting the thin bores. Having an engine that can only be tuned to 7/10ths is pretty pointless in my opinion.

im not 100% on how it all got done, i didnt do it, the tuner doing my mates skyline did it, i will be going there tomorrow and ill see if i can get a couple of answers.

could be that conrods are shorter or pistons have a differnent top. in which case youll have really low compression but more litres. or even if the crank has a longer stroke/ turning circle. but ill ask him how the fkuk he did that all tomorrow.

since i havent done it i can only speak from word of mouth.

but on another note, i say buy a 24u block and keep your skyline a skyline not a hybrid "Commoline"

i know this thread is about the engine, but is there a car involved??? i kinda got lost after a while....

Well I haven't bought the car yet, like I said it will definitely be within 1-2 weeks. I just need info on this because the Skyline hasn't got alot of forums around, they're either Japanese or in the UK. This site seems to be solid. I only want 3/3.1 litres but if 3.4 is possible then the more the merrier. However I do want the engine to keep that "RBness" about it.

hay dude, whats this patrol block ur talking about, i think the old ones do run rb30's

mine will handle 1000hp and cost me 10k, how does the patrol block make it a 3.5litre, this is interesting...

Pretty sure the patrol block he means is the RD28 diesel block.

There is a 26/28 R33 in the latest Zoom mag with 937rwhp and has run a 8.3 @ 163mph

This thread gives me the shits, bigtime.

Buy the car. Take to someone who has done the rb30 conversion before who is local to you. Pay money. Done.

Mine is a 3L. Makes enough power to scare other built GTR owners. Still revs like an rb26, if you Fu(k it up it won't rev.

I agree Steve. This thread is almost a waste. Why would you want to buy an already well done 400kw R34 GTR [ACCESS] and then go for an RB30 stroker?

Anyway, don't waste your time, I am buying it as a daily driver. :)

Exactly Steve, thats why I popped my head in here..... but I gave up, too much cluelessness here for me.

not sure which Patrol motor you're referring to, RB30S (I have one) is an R31 motor with a carburettor (and 4wd sump, also takes ~6l oil). RB28 or TB42?

Try driving a reletively stock one IMO, then decide whether you want to go more displacement, or bigger turbos etc.

I think I'll be getting the OS Giken 3.15 motor, it seems to be coming from a solid company and I calculated it, I could make it work into the budget. Now because this thing is so expensive I want the best tuner in the country. I would be willing to go interstate for a tune if its necessary. Does anyone know a good tuner with a good workshop?

If you are so concerned about displacement, get a Clubsport!!!

or alternatively:

M3 is 3.2 or 4.5 (?) if it's the V8

2.6x1.7 turbo multiplication as per motorsport regs = 4.42, so basically the RB26 is equivelant to an NA 4.4l, but is even easier to get HP out of. Seriously get the car, drive it for a bit, play with what you get then decide what you want to improve. if it is STRICTLY a road car what the F do you need more than 300hp for? even my stock R32 with a pair of -7s is quicker that all bar the top Porsches/Ferraris/Lambos etc to 100... The way you are talking I would personally be suggesting maybe this

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
