Oil mods. Oil mods. Oil mods..

Baffled/larger sump with a couple of -10an fitting welded onto the sump running to the catch can to help relieve bottom end pressure so the oil can drain back quicker, and so the top end doesnt pump the catch can full.

Drill out the block and head oil drain out. I drilled mine to 10mm to help get the oil down quicker.

Head to sump drain/vent depending if you think its worth it. I dont but some people think its a good idea and acts as a drain. Also could work hand in hand with my first point.

Decent catch can vented or how ever you want to run it.

Will be using my current N1 oil and water pump. WIll be throwing stonger gears into the oil pump before swapping it across.

Restrictors in the block. Work out what you think will be the best size depending on vct, lifters and how you will be using the car.

Im using standard crank, balanced polished and tested.

Ill be ordering forged rods, ARP head studs, main studs

Have cp 86.5mm flat top pistons.

Not sure on my bearings or head gasket yet.

My head will get a full recon. New lifters, valve steam seals, swap my cams across, mods for the vct. GTR cam covers etc. If i didnt really care and was a budjet build id just slam the standard head on and be done with it. Im building this engine up over many years so im not in a rush as im still driving/upgrading the car over the years too.

Thats all i can think of for now. Ill be watching your progress and seeing how its all unfoulding.

Apparently once you let the Nissan out, they are never the same. But ill roll the dice.

Standard NA bottom end, standard head with wobble sticks if you can afford them.

Enlarged sump with trapdoors/baffles if tracking it. Put 2x -10 fittings on sump regardless.

Take baffles out of cam covers, fill with fuel cell foam and put baffles back on.

Appropriate oil restrictors in block depending on what head you are using.

Then put together and thrash the absolute f**k out of it like I do with mine. HTA3076 should be a killer turbo. If I was you i would go 1.06 rear and really turn up the boost and see how you go. I imagine you should make around 400ish kw depending on a few things.

Yeah better oil pump, but ARP studs and stuff all good. Doing the same, but slowly. Have RB30 motor, RB25 head with VCT, oil pump, water pump, and gasket set. Next buy is rods I reckon. So also interested in what you are doing, what you get, and how its going.

RBs have their peculiarities so ask around for a shop familiar with (and expert at) RB engines.

Limit revs= I found with mine that it was quickest when I shifted at 6250 if I recall right, it kept it in the sweet spot on the torque curve, your build will see a different torque curve so limits will be different, also from my understanding the 30 will be more reliable keeping the rpm down a bit, harmonics or some shit.

Noise limit= some joints don't like screamers due to exceeding their noise restriction limit, plus what is the benefit of a screamer over a plumbed in gate?

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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.
