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

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
