Hello all,

I used to have an account on here and would post rarely mainly about faulty mfd's. Well I've owned a r34 gtr for 11 years. I had to leave Japan and moved to somewhere I could legally import my GTR. The car was supposed to get here in the last couple of years but the dickhead I left the car with to deregister my car and send to the ship decided to hold on to the car and thrash it. The guy 'supposedly' blew my motor and the garage he took it to told me they could repair the motor for 5000000 jpy. long story short, I get the car back destroyed. like, I'm finding cam cover bolts in the cam cover itself resting right next to the cam. My cams are no longer tomei I'm missing fuel parts I'm missing coil packs I'm just missing random things. So after I analyze the damage I can't find myself trusting the integrity of the motor despite prior to jumping on that Japan airline flight had the motor rebuilt, body shop repair, you know the anal things that we do to take care of our cars. So I think to myself who could work on a RB26 around here how much would it cost? I randomly stumble on a RB30 so now I wonder what I need to do to put it in my car. Now I talked to spool back in '17 and they told me I need to get the awd adapter plate and drill a hole for a tensioner.  Is this all I need to do? So pretty much I take this block, slap that plate on, slap my head (with all the correct parts) on, bolt up my getrag to it, fabricate I/c pipes and radiator hoses for it and it should be good? What else am I missing? thank you for your feedback and advice!

Early RBs have a short oil pump drive spline. It self destructs. There is an enormous amount of discussion on upgrading to a longer pump drive all over the internet. Probably 5000 pages of it on here. You need to make yourself aware of the best course of action and the best option (for a 30). It is even more important to do it on an RB30 under a twin cam head because of spinning the longer throw crank to higher rpm.

The work is to machine off the old pump drive area and shrink fit a new drive collar onto the spot.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
