Guy's dones anyone know if fitting a vented bonnet like the Top Secret or Jun style ones will be a problem with an RB30 conversion? Just had the thought as I know the bonnet it quite tight on the timing belt cover with the stock bonnet and these drop down in the middle where the main centre venting is? Help please! If some can reccommend a suitable bonnet to run with the RB30 if these are no good that would be great as I have some serious underbonnet temp issues wth the downpipe and top mount all in a very small enclosed space!

Cheers

Lee

I think you'll find some can fit, the 33 rb30 from my experience has more clearance cause of the shape of the stock bonnet in comparison to a 32 (which we all know has a terrible time fitting the engine in and bonnet closing).

Best bet will be to go to a shop with the bonnet you want, do a trial fit on site.

Hey mate,

I have a friend with an RB30 with a similar bonnet to Top Secret style (one vent at the front that dips down) and had to remove it due to it fouling out on the cam cover. An adequate solution would be to get the Nismo Z Tune style bonnet, it doesn't dip down near the front of the engine. Only problem is trying to find one. I bought mine about 5 years ago but the company that made them in QLD have discontinued them.

Hope that helps...

Thanks for the replies guy's Al, That is a possible solutoin I could either customise my stock one or maybe do a custom bonnet complete. Will see what comes up!

Sorry for the double post. Was not sure where this was best placed.

Thank you

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
