Ok i own an r32 gts4 4 door and, well i got over the 20 prrreeetttyyy quickly and thanks to the old girl and my missus buying me an rb30 for my birthday, and buying a rb25de head i'm getting rid of the old 2ltr as much as it has been reliable and fun. Few question i have though upon doing my own research and not finding a consistent answer to any of my questions through VARIOUS workshops, magazines and other forums, google, altavista, bing, google chrome, blah blah etc etc i have decided to open this topic to see what more information i can get together

1st Q: RB26 cams we all know and love em, BUT will they fit into an rb25de head???... I know i can go tomei poncams, hks, crow cams etc etc, but i have to maintain SOME normality in this car as it does carry children....sometimes, rarely though but sometimes. and being that rb25de cams have not much better specs than '20 cams i'm going to ditch them, and go with '26's and cause i can and want to, i think...

2nd Q: WILL a gtr flywheel, clutch and pressure plate albeit they will all go together, will the flywheel fit the rb30 crank???

3rd Q: has anyone fit the oil squirters to the 30 block and if so how much did it cost?? YES i know you can ceramic coat the crown etc etc but i want oil squirters i know they can be done via drilling and tapping but as the top questions poses i would like to know who has done it and the cost, why, cause i can

4th Q: I am going to have to hook up a Q45 AFM already have 300zx afm for increased power, BUT is it really worth it?? or should i just go with power Fc de jetro???

5th Q: who makes 40thou' oversize pistons that i can get in oz??? or if needed can rb26 pistons fit due to the head change and the stroke length yes in know '25, '26 and '30 pistons are all 86mm from factory but i am trying to consider comp ratio??

6th Q: what do i need to do to obtain/maintain an 8.5:1 compression ratio???

This engine would be looking at around 5-600hp at the engine which would be around 450 to 520 hp at the wheels MAX on high boost and maybe if i want 350 hp on low boost. the way i see it is if an rb26 in stock form can make 300kw at all four in near stock form then i can do it here to with a little ingenuity.

it has the following supporting mods atm cold air intake (inclosed pod), 300zx afm, R32GTR gearbox, Bosch 040 600hp in-tank pump, HDI fmic, gtr injectors with impedance restrictor(already on the rb20), chipped rb20 ecu, t04, top mount and 38mm external gate, hks style cam gears, high po valve springs, n1 water pump, nitto oil pump, trip core rad, clutch fan (keeping).

AND would like a very sexy sounding nismo exhaust but it's got a straight through 3inch iteam instead that is going for a nismo sexy sounding one mmmmmm.

Ok so shoot gimme ya ideas and thoughts and knowledge PLEASE.

I also apologise if this may seem a little to straight forward in the typing but i'm over rude f*cks.

Hey mate, what dump adaptor are you going to use?

And which intake so it doesn't foul the bonnet?

I was looking at doing this I'm my 32gtr, but have decided a different route.

I highly recommend reading through a lot of the topics in the 25/26/30 rebuild thread.

ALOT of usable info, and things you may not have thought of.

Also pretty sure I saw answers to most the questions you're asking.

Good luck with your project. And try and post up a thread whilst doing it.

1st: yes up to 10.8mm lift, you will need to machine out head and as bubba said solid lifter conversion and make sure you get springs to suit the valve lift

3rd: 1 in about 20 blocks can be successful in machining for squirters. best bet is make sure the rods have the little squirter hole in them not as good but same idea

5th JE/ srp, cp, only pistons i recommend, mahle hypertech few others out there

6th how long is a piece of string? Nitto gaskets come in 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 1.8mm thick with 88mm gasket bore, plus deck height piston dome volumes combustion chamber volumes... best to leave to machinists

what kind of power level would the 444cc gtr injectors be able to sustain/obtain at 100% duty cycle or is that something that the tuner would know relevant to the supporting mods??? and thanks gerg for ya info too everyone it.s much appreciated.

you need 600+cc injectors for the power you have said.

i have 1000cc deatschwerks injectors in my 30/25 with 8mm or 10mm fuel lines to a 2.5L surge, bosch 044 pump with a no idea what feeder pump...honestly didnt check when i bought it they just hooked the external setup for me and i never asked.

went for a drive tonight with the laptop on my e6x (ancient but still good!!) and it claims 93% duty cycle for the injectors @ 26ish psi (boost gauge broke so my gauge that ive got for the time being only goes to 20psi, cheers calibre >.<)

low comp, cant remember where my sheets are but it was something stupid like 8.1 or 8.3. was built a while ago by this old school guy. decrompressed it a lil too much but it goes fine. might be higher? should probably find out.

that being said, my fuel consumption is quite catastrophic.

Edit: Would help if i said the power figure. its around 500hp at the 22psi mark with a to4z + forged. hasnt seen a dyno for a long long time, i play with it myself but im too poor for dynos, they are too far away AND it runs fine so I dont touch it. something i learnt a while ago lol.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
