Mines just a dead RB30E ATM... Gotta start somewhere tho :)

I think Trina is gunna flip at "another" car bit as it is... So, your out of luck sorry Pred :D

Now I have to read that long arse RB30DET thread... And start to choose pistons, rods, etc...

*sigh*

rb30det is the way to go if you want a lot of power..

yeah, read through most of that several times :) i really have to work out how much its gonig to cost me, and what else i might need to spend money on.

So will be at least 6 months before i really think about mine. I asked around a bit and would probably cost at least $5k or so, depending on whether you go forged rods, etc.. And thats just the bottom.. never mind turbo, installation (assume you're doing that yourself :D ).. etc.

hehe - really only joking about the storage.. this is why the places i have been looking at renting *must* have a garage.. for all my car crap (and cars)..lol

Mmmm... Just started reading it... Looks like standard rods and crank are good for 350rwkw...

This is getting cheaper by the hour!

yeah.. just get em prepped :D In fact the whole bottom end is probably good for around 250rwkw or maybe more as they have cast pistons.. as my engine was just removed for a conversion and is still pretty fresh - i was even thinking of just dumping the head on, getting it all fitted up and just running it for a while like that.. if something breaks just has to come out and get built properly :)

Nah my 30 has got low comp as it is... So, I'm gunna take my time, and make it STRONG...

RB30's suck. Haven't seen a good one yet. Even John Munro's OS 3ltr was a waste of money, just ask him

look at the australian street car drag list though.. and some of them are even SOHC.. mattlow has/had ? a 11sec gts-t in melb using a 3L bottom end..

There are a lot of shitty engine builders out there though.

    • 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.
