lets get this striahgt EVERYTHING i have spoken about in this thread has been turbo. the only thing im talking about thats non turbo is the motor im planing on putting in my car. now relax your pussy flaps everyonethis has become ridiculous

Edited by obsesv

what i meant by my mates motor is non turbo is.. its a factory non turbo motor, with a turbo setup on it. im terribly sorry for wording that very wrong!

i was trying to get the point across at the strength of an internally standard rb30

ahh so you meant to say, non turbo bottom end?

having a non turbo bottom end really makes little difference to the equation but now we have that cleared up, we can continue, fully enlightened

The size of my pussy flaps is rediculous, this topic has nothing on that

yes i meant its a non turbo bottom end, and head. wich doesnt really matter anyway cause the only difference is the cam which has been replaced anyway, but thats the extent of the headwork done to it.

i worded it badly :/

The pistons (comp ratio) is different also.

What Nismoid {edited for accuracy} said before was correct, though, you won't be able to make the chassis backwards compatible. You can put engines of equal vintage in but I'm pretty sure putting a less efficient engine into a newer car breaks all their rules

look im sick of arguing with everyone in here, i hope ive corrected all my mistakes by saying everything ive previously talked about has been turbo. big power n/a rb's just doesnt happen.

now, if we want to talk about my car. the idea of putting an rb30 in came to me because as ive said i can get one for basically nothing and i can do all the work myself. being an apprentice i dont earn lots of money so i want to do it on the cheap, and n/a rb25 is hard to find in its self, and expensive when you do find one. im not looking for performance out of this car at ALL while it is n/a, i just want a nice cruiser. due to previously having a turbo car and being on my p's i have a daily driver so i have plenty of time to do all this. SO in summary, an rb30 is the cheapest and quickest way to make my skyline n/a, then when i want to step it up all ive gotta do is chuck a twin cam head on and away i go

if anyone else wants anything cleared up feel free to ask!

yeah the head gasket in it is thicker thus making it the same as a factory turbo rb30

If you want to do it and your budget allows, then ring DOT/RTA and see if they will allow it. As far as being ABLE to be done....sure it can. Go for it.

You can always rip the head off and go twin cam later if the peer pressure gets too much.

yeah im aware of that, its not my biggest worry

Go and read my post.

Then read it again.

Then continue reading

The car is BUILD PLATED as TURBO.

- You cannot put a RB30E into a R32 and be legal if my recollection of laws is correct (I'm usually pretty on the money), meaning RB20E and RB25DE are your choices etc. You cannot put an older motor, into a newer chassis.

- You need to RE-ENGINEER it, that is not free to begin with. They might also emissions test you, again not free.

It's not a simple case of "motor out, motor in - I've beaten the system".

It might pay you to investigate the laws before getting wild ideas.

yeah ill look into it. ill see if its able to be engineered or something.

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
