Hey guys and girls,

So ive got my hands on a rb30 block and i have a r33 gtst. How would i go upon making the infamous rb30? my block is bored out to 87mm honed and decked. i know ive got to modify my rb25det head slightly for it to work with it but ive heard a neo head works better ? is it true and if so how ? also what pistons would i need to you and crank. budget isnt really an issue for me i just need info i get mixed numbers all the time.

Ive got a 3 layer cosmetic head gasket also, ill be running 272 cams and ill be installing stiffer springs and upgraded lifters and all the supporting mods 1000cc injectors and all the good stuff. Once again my goal is anywhere around the 600 hp mark. i have alot of experience with engines as i have grown up around them but never really rebuilt one alone and which is mine..

Any help would be great thanks.

Read the PDF in the first post of the first thread in this section for a start.

600hp (330awkw) is pretty straightforward and should not require anything special....as Bob said just follow the well worn route. Even if you want 600hp atw (450kw) it's well within the ability of the combo on e85 with the right turbo

you'd put smaller cams in it for a start...272 and rbs are a good receipt for breaking shit, revs are not your friend, you want area under the curve..and lots of it for a streeter

small cams/ stock intake runners/.decent comp

600hp is pretty much a stocky, built right and tuned well..the vl turbo guys have been doing it for a long time..since the mid to late 90's ..skyline guys just take no notice..lol

and twin cams are far easier than a sohc head

Just depends what you personally feel comfortable with doing and your budget

cheers

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
