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.

Should have bought my old 3037 :P

If its just for a responsive streeter the GT30 should do a pretty good job, will run out of puff for sure but sounds like outright power is low on the priority list?

Yeah, I think ill learn how to drive it with a 3076 and see where its limits are for a year, then it might change direction toward HTA3582, its never a closed book with these builds lol.. that's why ill build the motor strong

for future increases. :) but will love the 3076 spool ups on the street , I don't think it will be that slow, probably do a 12sec quarter still. I hope.

Have you been down the quarter yet matt?

Haha i know, the build never ends :yes:

Nope, been too busy thrashing on track... Will run the quarter one day but after breaking the last gearbox i have decided not to try launching the car anytime soon...

low boost being like 20psi, lol.. that will teach you HTA people.. :P

was actually thinking bout wether to have the box checked when it comes off, wonder if you can strengthen/replace a few gears without massive cost..

Actually low boost is spot on 20psi lol

I dont think there is any cheap way around it mate, freshen up the oil and just use and abuse :yes:

At the stage of deciding on pistons now, pretty much set on the wiseco pistons( with coated skirts) and rings with forged rods ( brian crower rods) off ebay,

if anyone has any input/advice im open, pretty much going for the RB25 forged pistons and decking the block, and going with the rebuild of the RB30, wondering if I should reuse my RB25 oil pump and harmonic balancer as well.. should I be testing the pump or should I be ok to assume that it will be ok? ( 180ks on my RB25 pump, no issues with it last time it was running)

Collecting parts at the moment, the RB30 is a fairly big task and don't have a lot of time at the moment so I think I might try to resurrect the RB25 , that will give me a back to back dyno comparison that way and I can enjoy driving the car again rather than who knows how long getting an RB30 built. So will try taking the head off this weekend to see what went wrong with cyl 5 that is at 60psi, meanwhile ill keep the parts coming in , tempting to buy secondhand but I know buying quality parts is best for the best results. :)

got a 44mm tial gate today and have ordered a Plazmaman Plenum too .. be good to drive it again hopefully before xmas, and probably push the RB25 to 340kw this time if all goes well.

Received the plazmaman plenum today, wish I had a hoist, get the head spins . Forget previous post, changed mind again to do RB30 .. got this far, may as well rip it out and on with the RB30.

Hopefully it will be reasonably straightforward, looks like the RB30 block doesn't have knock sensors so I assume I can drill and tap to use the RB25 knock sensors.. will have to read the RB30 threads more. The Plazmaman i'm assuming will solve the bonnet clearance issues.

Been a while, deciding to follow other peoples path of an unopened RB30 bottem end and slap a neo head on, found a R31 skyline, started it up and she was purring nice :yes: so no problem sorted there.. just need slowly source parts and slap together...

Took her out of hibernation, and heads are turning , lol

no updates yet, got to get ass in gear, loving these pics though, looks angry, gotta get shit happening, waiting on $$$ to get this moving ;) feeling motivated though

Really loving the GTR wheels, tough but not over the top, this thing deserves an RB30DET bad lol.... 400kw's long term but will play with GT3076 for a while with it..

Not bad for an old beast, paints held up good :)

Is there much difference between neo head compared to r33 head with tomei cams??? just weighing the cost savings as my head doesn't seem to be getting much interest at the moment so obtaining a neo head then a cas then rewiring it and getting it serviced starts to add up in cost when my R33 head is in perfect condition with tomei cams....

should I stick to getting neo head or will the R33 head just mean it can be tuned with more ignition timing??

Use what you have got.

Enjoy it..

Don't worry about stuff.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
