Anyone registered/engineered an RB30DET?

is it a legal or illegal conversion to put an RB30 block with a RB26/25 head into an R32 GTS-T which came out with the RB20DET?

Last thing i want to do is do the conversion the get defected and have to fork out shit loads.

Anyone have friends who go the "original new block from nissan with BYO block number" route? ;)

Thanks for your time,

Scribble

its illegal

you cant get it engineered unless you go through the whole ADR Emissions testing.

The motor was never brought out that way and hasnt been tested.

In saying that, if your a resourceful person im sure you can find out ways to get around it ;)

I've been told that one is required to run it on the stock ecu.

Run the larger R33 GTST or R32 GTR brakes.

Motor Reg didn't seem to worried about it as they said there would be bugger all in it as essentially its the same motor simply stroked out a little.

You would no doubt need an engineer though.

How will they be able to tell just by looking at it?? Couldn't you just pass it off as a rb25 or 26??

all a cop/road auth has to do is look at the engine number... try passing it off then and you'll find it will go downhill very quickly :P

I dunno about running it off the stock ECU however. If you cant run a bigger turbo, you cant run a bigger capacity motor.

Emissions would be changed without a doubt, thus altering the compliance

Why does the engine number matter? Mine isnt recorded anywhere on my rego papers, and it hasn't got a stolen motor in it. It is the asme as if you bought a new block off nissan, then stamped your old number on it.

cubes ran his off the stock rb20 ecu for a while there.....

My engine number is on the rego papers.

Yes, I used the stock ecu for the first ~10,000km's for the run-in. AFR's were perfect and fuel economy was the same as the rb20det.

It was fuel cutting on anything over ~7psi or there abouts at around 2500rpm. Nothing an ecu remap couldn't fix. :D

The R33 ECU works perfectly fine. In the early stages of the r33 rb30det thread one of the blokes made ~200rwkw on the stock ecu. No power dips ran quite good. But it did need a bit more cas ignition timing as the rb30det comp was 8.2:1 where as the rb25det ecu was setup for 9:1.

ECU - as in terms of it being legal. thats the topic... not how the car runs, they beside the point when dealing in ADR requirements.

Just cause its a stock ECU means nothing. Its not a stock motor

Remember the 3ltr block has a different sequence to a 2.5ltr one.

what did they use on your rego then when they took down all the details?

I dunno how SA works but you wont get away with that shit here.

Thats about it. I could get it legal here, then drive across the boarder and get pinned for it. As the boarder is all of about 50mins away, its not that difficult.

That said everything is legal, just depends on how much money you got on hand to bribe the cop that pulled you over :D

    • 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
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
