why? an RB25 is superior in every way and I'd even argue an RB20 over a single cam 30.

or if you already have a 32 or 33 GTST why not just do what everyone else does and use your 20 or 25 head on the 30 block? much better option.

They don't make big power without a lot of work. The heads flow pretty well the same as RB20 heads so not much point.. slap a 25 head on it, then drop it in your skyline.

SO much easier to go the twin cam route when it comes to management and ancillaries, keep what is suited to your car. I used an R32 RB25DE head which meant EVERYTHING that was on my RB20 swapped straight over to the RB25/30.

they dont make power? WHAT!!??

i had a 12 second vl before i got the r32 i currently have. the whole setup owed me no more than 2 grand and it made over 200rwkw with a standard computer and an untouched non turbo rb30. i have a mate making 380hp with an also completely stock non turbo rb30 bar a head gasket and cam. i also have another mate making 400hp with a stock turbo rb30, just has a cam and valve springs.

im not trying to say they are better than a 25, but they make power just as easy, and have an extra 500cc! and in my opinion are alot more simple and easy to work on. yeah as a vl owner i guess im just more biased to the rb30.

im thinking of doing it cause ive never seen it done and it would be something totally different. obviously the long term plan would be a single cam head for when i want to make some really serious power

like it or not - they don't flow without alot of work to the head. I had one in my last 31 RB30e + turbo and it was great (for what it was)

great for up to 250rwkw in a dirty 1, but in a jap import skyline...why?

If you were going to all the effort you would put a twin cam RB30 into it like most people do.

Spending all the money getting a SOHC RB30 into there is just pointless, hence why people don't do it and why you wouldn't see many. You would make more power, spending less money on the current engine in there than the engine swap just for the sake of "something different".

what would make it so much harder to do a single cam rb30 than a twin cam?

Nobody is saying its easier or harder, Just pointless. Do you seriously thing the single cam head is going to flow what the twin cam can do.

omfg read my previous post. i never said anything about an rb30 is better or flows better than a 25!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol no one would put a rb30 in a 32.... single cam... thats just stupid

You say that but there used to be someone who drifted a R32 with a RB30ET in Perth...

Pretty sure he must have come from the east though, I don't know any West Aussies that would be that stupid!

So to the OP, yes it has been done but no don't do it because it's a shit idea :cheers:

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
