For someone as new to this as you....
Start with a pod, stractors, zorst, ecu and tune.

Most benifit will be the tune. The other will open it up for the tune. Oh and a manual transmission.

In time after research years .... and some more knowlege maybe a cam.

Then its to boost and at this stage the higer head flow is important and vct with dohc will be shid loads better than sohc when setup and tuned correctly lots of setup lots & lots.

Dont open your motor. You do not know enough yet and may regret it big time.
Goodluck hope you can pump the rb30 up a bit. Its all a bit of fun.

Doing lifters atm myself.

So i plan on rebuilding the top end of my rb30e out of a 86 r31. I want to a bit more power and economy. Is it possible to achieve that by keeping the cam stock but replace valves and porting the head? I plan on getting the stock head flow tested so i compare the difference. Not sure how i should go about it. I plan on talking to an engine builder, aswell as reading forums and books for knowledge. Yes i am a rookie when it comes to internal work 
 
If im thinking to far ahead, let me know please

@Slap thanks man, ill just stick with those basics for now! Im doing a manny conversion very soon just need to buy new master and slave, cause i aint trusting used ones, and a gearbox mount. Thinking about modding the original cause im not too keen on a single piece gearbox mount! I have a spare rb30 that im pulling apart atm,ill be putting it back together with new bearings and rings, (atm its purely to educate myself on rebuilding rb30s and hopefully its not much different from any other engine except different specs) i know ive got alot to go before i know my shit but you gotta start somewhere and its best to start wrapping my head around everything now rather than later! 

 

Thank you for your input man, i appreciate it!

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • 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
