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,

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

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
