hi there i just got my self an 87 r30 skyline a week or two ago in pritty bad shape.

there was no starter motor, alternator wiring, fan, and it hadent been started in eight months. so far i managed to buy a new starter for it and wire up the alternator but for some reason i have no reverse and it doesnt rev past 2,000rpm

i was just wondering if any one knew whats goin. any help would be apreciated

2000rpm is the highest it'll go and it does strugle a bit to get there. also if i lift off really quickly it just dies.. i was thinkin it was the air flow meter but it reacted diferently when i took that off just gonna take it to work so the boss can analize it i thoght maby puttin the battery on backwards may have stuffed it

probably has.

So it won't rev past 2000 in neutral or in gear and it's hard to get there anyway.

Have you checked timing and all the other basics?

Do a flow and pressure test on the fuel pump also. This could be a reason for it not revving very well.

disconnect one of the lines and put it into a bottle. Then crank it for 30 seconds (exactly)

double it, then double it again coz fuel flow is only around half during cranking.

You should get around 2 litres per minute.

after 30 seconds of cranking you should see about half a litre in the bottle, maybe more.

that will equate to around 2 litres per minute.

  • 2 weeks later...

since its an rb coming out and another rb goin in it will be a clean swap

just have to look at 'other' costs like exh mods, tailshaft, cooler piping, power steering, possible brake upgrade, computer, wiring, engineering(unless your sneaky) the list goes on

but dont let me deter ya... the payoff is worth it

what would be the advantage to a 20 over a 25 do they rev higher or something? im thinkin of tuning it into a drifter thats why i wanna get it up and runnin so i can accualy drive it and get a feel of how the thing handels that way i can deturmine weather it would work

    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
