I have an rb30det for sale i got it with a vl i brought which im currently doing a spray job on, anyway im not sure what head it is it is either a 20 or a 25de head but with out measuring the valves i can't know for sure, as this thing is put together and i have never even pulled it down, it just looks so good together plus i have never had the time and interest in it.

So their for i have no idea what is in it: what rods or pistions or even if the head is suited to the block as i understand it takes a bit of machining to make a 20 or 25det head to fit (it is definently not a 25det head no vvt) i would like an offer over

$1000 but realise you would be taking a chance on it as i don't know what is in it or if the head fis at all as i said i have no interest in it what so ever. I don't know how many KM's are on the engine either.

Sorry i don't know alot about what it has in it.

So offers over $1000

Thanks Aaron

hey there at the minute this is the only pic i have and it's an old one from when i brought it i had tidyed it up a lot more after i got it and then lost interest in it but i will endever to get a better photo of it.

How can you tell between the 25de and the 20 from the out side i throught that the oly diff was the valve size 25 de bing bigger and the port size other than that they look identical.

Oh and yes bare motor except exhaust mainfold and the bottom half of the inlet which has a shit attempt at being polished other than that it's a long motor.

Thanks Aaron

ouch, that timing belt looks awfully close to hitting, thats a ticking time bomb if u ask me!

Listen Mate no one asked you anything. and have you everlooked at a 26 with the covers off, it's basicly the same set up so wake up.

sorry my bad. i could only see from the differences in the rockers covers - but anyone can swap them over, therefore i have no idea what head it is. ps. the rocker covers are rb25de, dont know if this will relate to what head is there or not..

good luck with the sale - 600hp roller and yopu have yourself a 300RWKW+ machine right there.

re: timing belt close to hitting - good one d1ck h3ad. that looks very normal to me

im no expert but the way the top 2 intake pipes are slightly closer to the engine looks like an a rb20 (thast assuming the plenum and intake of the rb25de is same as the rb25det). if so the previous guy would have spent a lot of time and money getting a rb20 to fit on a rb30!

anywyas dude looks sweet, gluck with the sale

    • 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.
