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.

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??

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
