Thanks, I think the build is pretty much finished, as far as I want to go with it anyway.. Actually considering selling the car and moving onto a different beast cause of work change and it mostly sits in the garage, may as well have a ute that can be used everyday... :/

No!! :domokun:

Been following this thread for a while and saw the car up for sale. My plans where to do identical mods to your car :D

Have i missed it or do you have a dyno graph to see how the curve looks?

Cheers

Wait, it actually up for sale? :(

And yeah, where is the dyno sheet?

yeah, doesn't mean its going to sell though..

thinking $500 for a dyno sheet might be better spent on the next vehicle, butt dyno says its 320kw's, it was breaking traction in third today :P which only happens when its over 300kw's and Power fc says less than 20knock,

although a power run might be interesting for the record...

Power run = $50 :P

really? is this backyard tuners lol.. i called 3times over the last month and must be backed up with work.

Anybody else around there that can do it for you? Surely its not that hard to get a dyno run...?

yeah the thing is I wanted the same dyno that I used for the GTX so I could have a direct comparison...

hmm, well I may be hitting the drags Saturday night, lol.. wont expect anything spectacular with hard tein suspension and shit tyres but will be fun anyway, anything in the 13's ill take :P

34GeeTeeTee- when you going to get a time at the drags, see what the HTA can do :)

hmm, well after quite a while and going from trying to sell it to giving up and loving the rb again, ive got some passion back and have decided to build an RB30DET and im going to use a neo head to get the goodness of 9.5-1 and no

hydraulic lifters, current plan is to use a GT3076 with 0.82 external with power fc and go for 350kw's but use 1bar for daily and hopefully will make over the 260kw for a reliable daily with good low down torque. This is gonna take

probably 6-12months so a long haul project but hopefully worth it, cause I decided I wont sell the RB ever, RB for life people, fTW....

not sure what model this RB30 is but it has the oil feed and return for the turbo.. the build will be a journey for me im sure, been done before so hopefully not too much heart ache, just after a strong street performer.

Ok, so its slow but the project has a heart beat still, lol.. Have ordered a GT3076 with 0.82external housing coming Monday, pictures then for those interested..

But to outline the plan and those in the know can add input if im going off track

ENGINE

Stock RB30 Block rebuild with Stock NEW RB25 pistons ( 1.5thou piston-bore clearance), rings, king bearings? , balanced, new RB25 Balancer, cleaned, Block decked flush

Reuse/check RB25 oil pump and bolt on all other stuff from my RB25

Compression- approx. 9.5 and dedicated E85 and see what she can do with 20psi on the dyno then pull back to 1bar daily :)

Face head and clean exhaust ports

Turbo- GT3076 0.82 external with a Tial 44mm and using stock manifold which will be port matched

Exhaust- 4inch dump and reuse my 3.5inch I have

Fuel- 1000cc Xspurts or thinking 2000cc Xspurts if they still idle etc properly cause they are shorter plus reg and rail

Other stuff

Splitfires and Z32 to work with my Power FC and Apexi AVCR

Purpose- Massive torque between 2500-6500rpm..

oh and I picked up some 34GTR wheels,will try to take some better pictures later.

Picked up a GT3076 thanks to STT, and pulled the head off the RB30 to inspect the clearances, safe to say this isn't a 120k old engine as I was told, piston to bore clearance as double checked checked by the old man is 20thou. Must of been had a turbo on this and used at the track to get that much wear.

Considering going down the forged rods and pistons route so I can wind up the boost, im assuming I could run 25psi and it will choke off to 20psi up top.. thinking maybe I should of gone a bigger turbo but im sure ill be happy for a while.

anyway some pics, not sure why the pistons have a shiny mark on the top edges, im assuming that's from pinging?

20140820 111416 (640x360)

20140820 111444 (640x360)

20140812 193454 (640x360)

20140812 193017 (800x450) (640x360)

Yeah i maybe should of gone for a 3582 but ill try this out first and see how it goes, should give some great midrange and sound awesome thru the streets.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
