Hi all,

I recently ordered some CP RB30\26 9.0 to 1 CR 86.5mm pistons and when they arrived I was surprised to find that they don't have any valve reliefs cut into them. Is that correct ? Bit worried as I'll be using 10.8mm lift Kelford Cams with them.

The build sheet is :

Heres a picture of the pistons :

I maintained the 8.5:1 scr on my rb26/30 build and was running jun 10.5mm lift cams, and the pistons had fairly serious cutouts in them. Pics are in this thread:

If it were me I'd definitely be checking with plasticine - once it's all put together and timing set up how you want it of course you would be carefully turning it over to check no interference but you'd want to know what kind of margin there is for stretch etc, espc if you're playing around with the duration of lobles and/or timing with slider cams etc.

But then I'm a fairly risk averse person.

Actually drifticon I saw your thread and was keen to seen a photo of it with the bonnet closed, just because I'm yet to see anyone else space the subframe and was curious to see how close to flush the bonnet closes,

Cheers Brett

Sorry for the hijack

It's not very flush at all - we had to turn up spacers out of alloy, which are 20mm thick. Looks a bit agricultural.

Reasonably confident that it's the "twin turbo" pipe that is causing the problem, rather than the timing belt cover. Im going to a single turbo eventually so assuming I can get a manifold that sits the turbo low enough, it should be possible to get custom piping that clears the bonnet and also allows strut brace to be fitted.

Just getting ready to build the engine (at last !) and trying to work out deck heights, compression ratio etc.

The build sheet for the pistons lists a dome height of 0.055", does anyone know what that equates to in CC ?

I'm aiming for a 1mm squish clearance so I assume, as I'm using a Tomei 1.2mm 88mm head gasket, they need to protrude from the block by .2mm. Will be CCing the head shortly as its been skimmed in the past.

Cheers

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
