An RB30 SOHC head in a R32/R33 Skyline?!?? :D

Would be more trouble than its worth. -30rwkw from the SOHC head.

Thats roughly what the VL blokes think. The twin cam heads gives another 30rwkw approx. Wider power band, better fuel economy and more power everywhere.

The chev eagle rod is a small journal chev rod 2 inch big end bore and a 6 inch length the small end needs to be modded...the part number is CRS6000S3D if using an RB26 piston you need something like a CRS6125S3D which really should be a tad shorter....maybe you can use an offset small end bush to get it in the right spot....make sure your measuring tools are spot on for this type of stuff tho!

The big end and small end require modifications, both need to be thinned as they are too wide for the crank journal and the gudgeon pin. They also need to be rebushed to suit and use a 40thou over chev bearing ( which also needs to be thinned ) . The RB30 crank in std journal size then requires a 7 thou grind to make it suit.

The rods then require resizing.

ok rocket part number for scat rods is sc235060002000.... just tell them you want the same rod but in eagle brand...they might be able to help you then....good luck

Just verify the size/application before you order them

Sounds like a lot of money to spend on a road car . I'd have thought the std rods with good bolts and a bit of prep work should be able to take more power than most will have traction for , plus the price is good . I'll ask today if its possible to gas Nitride steel rods . Has anyone use oversized bolts in factory rods ?

SK , when these rods let go which part throws in the towel ?

Cheers A .

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
