Great info ...  go the sweet taste of Jack

But ... if you had RB20 setup currently, what would be the logical way to go? Which head would you use?

Also, can you use any bits from the current setup?

In R32 GTST's I prefer the R32 RB25DE top end as it doesn't have VVT. The RB20DET stuff (sensors and manifolds) all basically bolt up, so the R32 GTST wiring harness and ECU work perfectly.

Bits from the current set up, I assume you mean RB20DET. Note that the new RB31DET has an RB26 top end. So I used the injectors (S5RX7T), all the sensors, ignitor, coils, alternator, starter, oil cooler, remote oil filter, radiator (PWR), electric fan (Davis Craig), air filter (pipercross POD), heat shield, ambient air feed, Power FC, Commander, gauges (oil pressure & temp plus exhaust gas temp), sump (it already had wings & baffles), intercooler (std R33 GTR), some intercooler pipework, engine mounts, OS Giken twin plate clutch, fan belt, power steering belt, bottom radiator hose (silicone), alternator bracket, power steering pump bracket, throttle cable, fuel pumps, adj fuel pressure regulator (Nismo), adj camshaft pulleys (Jun), plus lots of mounting hardware, nuts, bolts and washers.

We also have a Stagea, and I will use some of the (no longer needed) RB20DET bits on it. Like the RB25DET turbo (GCG ball bearing hi flow), split dump (Performance Metalcraft), old intercooler (Group A Supra), some pipework, boost controller (Autospeed) and exhaust (suitably modified). I try not to waste anything that is good/useable.

Hope that helps, Happy New Year:cheers:

This engine drives very nice on the street.

I still cant get over the fact that the bottom end can handle 475BHP with stock cast pistons.. lol

What about stock bearings? like ACL brand ? can they handle that power too?

SydneyKid: what ignition timing have you seen RB30DET's (with 25 heads) use on full boost ?

The max power out of standard injectors i could have got was 240rwkw but that was standard fuel pump too. upgrade the stock pump to a bigger unit and you might get more with a Adjustable Rising rate regulator - but thats really unsafe way of doing it and its a prick to tune them at times. (can be inconsistant)

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

      So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.

      So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By Duncan · Posted

      I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.

      Good work to think to check that, and thanks for coming back to post up the outcome.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By Duncan · Posted

      Given it happened suddenly, and when you come on boost, I'd check all your inlet - hose clamps in place and no split rubber or silicone hoses. Even the hard to get to ones near the intercooler. It's possible air that went past the air flow meter is being dumped out a big hole.
