Had my the 34 a couple years now and been wanting to upgrade to a det. Well last week my brother inlaw offered me a rb 30 with a reconditioned 25det head. But coz I want it real bad and he’s giving me a mad deal I’m gunna take it off his hands when I can get over to his( not any time soon) was wondering if someone would be good guy or girl and give me a list of everything I will need to insert this into my 34 and all the parts I’m going to need please. I’m new to this sort of thing and would like to get in and learn how this is done hands on.

Most people will say you need a turbo car to start with but in any case if you have lots of time do the reading first. Read through some build threads and read the RB30 PDF which you will find at the top of the forced induction section. As a minimum you are going to need some better brakes,  transmission,  suspension, an aftermarket computer so just because you are getting the engine cheap it won't be a cheap project. Does the engine come with manifolds, injectors, turbo?  There is no quick answer...there are pages of info in this site and when you have done reading  you may be left with some questions but do the research first.

Cheers bro @KiwiRS4T nah it doesn’t come with manifold turbo and injectors. This project going to take me a year at least. But your right I have a lot more research to do. Thanks for your input man.

And @Ben C34 got more spanners than I do skin on my knuckles lol.

cheers guys

      Returning after a long time!

      I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.

      I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
