+1 for 9:1 static comp. I have just had my engine built with 9.2 aries pistons but the nice big mls head gasket brought it back to pretty much 9:1. Isnt half the reason for switching to 3 litre to gain some down low driveability??? I know obviously the extra exhaust gas brings on early spool and you have the increased torque as displacment grows to name other benefits buts whats the point in adding extra displacement and then lowering the compression. One gives u low rpm drivability and the other hinders it. nothing wrong with the 9:1 cr that rb25 have to start with. Especially for a car with regular street duties.

I'd pay big money to get even more response and more torque..

Like the everybody has already said, the RB25 has 9:1 comp, It makes no sense to spend

good money to build and fit a 3L to REMOVE response?

That poor dude needs to get out of his shed a little more often.

(Lots of honda drivers add turbo's without decompressing their hi-comp engines.)

Hey Guys,

Thanks for keeping my old thread running, fwiw I still haven't got my sh1t together and taken the plunge into dirty 30 land yet but the the car is half stripped out and I am still trying to make up my mind on wether to go the 30 or just stick with the 25 and chuck a 2835 pro s kit at it for a nice 280 odd killer wasps.

I have decided to not go with the original person that wanted to build the 8:1 cr and have been shooting emails to RIPS and they have suggested a pretty nice sounding package for the power I am looking at achieving (<350rwkw) using one of thier special non-forged bottom ends which they assure me is good for 650 odd hp so I am considering this.

Xmas cleaned me out a bit and I bought a nice interior so I'll have to wait a month or two to make the move...............spend 5k on the 30 bottom end or 5k on the2835 pro s, decisions decisions decisions

there are pros and cons for both options

I'll look through the emails when I get back home tomorrow night and let you know, I do remember him saying that 330rwkw would be fine with his proposed setup (with proper tuning etc etc)

It's not a totally "standard" bottom end so to speak, it has a few mods that I can't remember off the top of my head but dosent run forged pistons

sounds like the 1st block listed here, doesnt have much details but says stock internals. so 1 must assume stock pistons, which would mean ~8.3:1.

would be 600-650hp at the flywheel

Stay above 8.5:1 at least mate. We're in 2011 now. Its a no brainer. I had no issues in my rb25 running a factory 9:1, so why would issues in a rb30 running 9:1 come up? You're building s better more refined motor ( ported, deburred, etc) so you're actually improving your motors ability to prevent detonation.

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
