I have a set of ti rods but if i did not i would probably be going with these trick titanium rods..for the price i dont think they can be beaten , cheaper than pauter or pankl and still have exceptional quality and finish.

http://www.tricktita...connecting-rods

Now i just wish DART would manufacture an aftermarket tall deck RB based block that could be taken out to 91mm with .250 cylinder wall thickness.

I mean if they already produce a stronger aftermarket honda block then surely to god they can do an almighty RB26 based block.

At the same time if they would take the SR20VE vvl head design and apply the same technology to a absolute killer RB head .

Mmmmm ...my ultimate would be 91mm bore & 91mm stroke = 3.55L RB35VETT , now just give me a variable valve timing & variable valve lift (same as v-tec) mega head, with a pair of borg warner efr's.

Ohh i think a hollinger would have to be on the cards to cope with the above combolaugh.gif

At 400+ grams those Trick rods are fairly heavy.

I picked up a big block Ti rod once and i thought it was made of plastic it was that light!

Im pretty sure an RB30 Ti rod is under 300grams. I will need someone to confirm though *cough*

My Ultimate engine combo keeps changing every time i read this thread now :)

See my post re Bullet's Billet block.

the problem with a tall deck mega strong cast iron block would be the massive weight increse.

DART's 9.2" Deck "clevor" block is something like 30-40kgs heavier than a standard Cleveland block and around 20kgs heavier than Fords Nascar cleveland block and thats at standard deck height the 9.5" deck blocks are heavier again.

But if they did do a 91mm bore block I would run something silly like a 65mm stroke crank, super light rods and pistons and spin the bitch to 12,000+rpm using a large port billet 5 valve head.

I just finished porting a p12 20v head for a sr20

Went to the dyno it made 400 at the wheels at 8800

Turbo was to small but it didnt stop pulling till after 9

i watched a documentary on the bugatti veyron - that is a beast & a real marvel at cutting technology

titanium rods, w16 with 2 banks, 10 radiators, 20k to change tyres lol - sorry off topic but that engine would have to qualify as the best imo quad turbo

back onto rb's :)

-10's are fantastic, so is the rips racing sump kit!

  • 2 weeks later...

I've been thinking about this a fair bit lately aswell. Well since I bought my car 2 years ago lol. Anyway at the moment I think mine would look something like this

- 26/30

- Nitto 3.2 stroker kit

- HKS V-Cam for inlet side. Not sure what people do on exhaust side when running V-Cam

- Full Race twinscroll manifold

- BorgWarner EFR Series turbo. 7670 i think it's called. Good for 700hp.

- Dry Sump

- Hollinger

mmm one day...

If i were going to go to that trouble I would throw the ford engine in the harbour and grab the nissan 4.8 with a brian crower stroker kit.

Neither of them address the thread topic however.

Its about RB engines, You know, the ones that actually bolt in to skylines.

RB48 stroker...that would be nuts. You could run a T70 or T88 on that. Anyone put the 4.8 into a skyline?

What Defines an RB ?

Are we talking OEM Head and Cylinder Castings ?

Stock Displacement ?

We need scope before you can really start spending imaginary money !

I took it as RB block and head. Whatever you do to it is fair game?

Yeah I agree.

Here is the link as per our discussion at BNR the other night.

If I recall correctly they are in the 11k region. Twas posted up a while ago and someone got in contact with them re cost. Pretty expensive but if we're talking the ultimate RB then surely that has to be included.

They should have used their smarts and built a billet 30 block that would bolt directly to the gtr sump....Winnah!

You need to put liners in the alloy block anyway so may as well make a spacer and re-create a high deck but over 3L displacement.

Thats the RB48DET in action. Modified 4.8 litre with turbo setup. Patrol trucks running 12 second quarters up hill. That is the ultimate RB. Just pop that in a GTR - invincible.

Sadly it isnt an rb. Have you seen one in the flesh, they stand about 150/200 mil taller than the good old rb engine. Would be a bear to fit in a skyline.

In saying that it could probably be done. I ran in to a guy with an xr6 turbo ford engine in a 33 a while back. They are a big engine too. Bonnet mods required.

    • 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.
