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.

ahhh damn. got excited. still pretty impressive hey. I have trouble enough fitting my IC piping under my bonnet let alone an extra 15-20cm. If you removed all ancillary components you would be able to fit it with some bonnet mods for sure.

R33 engine bay would be the biggest of 32, 33 and 34 ay?

I reckon you could do with amazing results. A soarer would be an ideal platform I reckon. Wheely bar for sure haha!

We,ve seen some mighty impressive builds over the years on these forums but to my mind I dont think we've seen how good it can get yet. In conversation with my builder and tuner the other day I came

I'm not going to debate the merits or otherwise of the quick spool valve here, there is a thread on it already, Suffice to say I like the idea but to each his own. You are correct in your 25 v 26 hea

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 abou

Believe me I dreamed about it. Even took to one with a tape measure.

Rough idea for ultimate RB(street)would be:

26/30 stroked to 3.4l (with all the usual bells and whistles:bigger stronger better everything.)

HKS V-cam

Highmount HKS twins that pull 600hp

(when i build mine,permitting im rich enough and stupid enough to buy the V-cam then i will have my ultimate RB aha).

Another idea is to compound twincharge an RB34 like oldmate with the red VL that had compound twincharge 25/30.

Keen to see this RB30 section become a whole lot livelier :D

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By sonicii · Posted

      How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Either the installer needs to come back, you need an auto electrician, or you need to learn automotive electricals yourself.   First step Id look at is where that big thing came out of, is there still things unplugged at that location? Maybe they just forgot to put a relay in or something?

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.
