I agree with MJtru I think I'll re build the bottom do the basics good head gasket arp studs and bigger oil pump and bigger sump, new timing belt water pump. Just leave it standard too begin with and upgrade turbo and comp :-)

No point in spending big bucks to rebuild rb25 back to standard - don't waste your money... Either throw in a rb30 bottom end or just get a second hand motor and throw it in your car.

I would like to follow this and see what he does. Drifting you will need to rebuild that old RB30 in no time. If it's not already shot. Well one good leason I've learned if any is. The most expensive idea I ever got was a free one much less a free engine. The 30 could work, all in saying is you will never know the health of the components in that rb30 block. Please keep us posted mate. I would like to know what you did. Both options can work, just work with new parts in them that's all I'm saying. Me personally I would go back with rb25.

If the ringlands are gone then chances as the bore a scratched so it depends if the damage can be bore out or not, on the other hand if the cheap or free RB30 block just needs a hone and rings and bearing then RB30>RBless capacity any day of the week and twice on Sunday

And the RB30 is an easier fit in to a R33 GTS-t then any GTR and plenty of GTR owners ( me included ) haven't gone to the trouble of fitting them for no reason

I have a "drifter" and everytime I look at it and how it was treated and look at how much his previous owners poured into him and I think WHY!!! I'm hoping to bring "Bashful" back to his former glory!!! Love my car even tho secretly I think he wants to kill me

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
