The RB30 is a 3ltr, the 3ltr from the R31 Skyline or VL Commodore. Not a 2.8ltr.

The 2.8ltr stroker kit is bought from japan from Jun.

Sky30 used a second hand running 270,000km's RB30, dropped it in his R32 GTST bolted on a R32 RB25DE head and off he went - Very side ways.... :(

$$ - What ever a second hand RB30e and r32 rb25de head costs, + a few gaskets and the modification of engine mounts. ~$70 if you pay some one to do it.

If you are a little mechanically minded the job can be done for rather cheap.

mmm, i'm only up to just over $3000 and thats everything major new and reconditioned! Can't beat the rb30 for value and bang for buck, thats for sure!

wait till the injectors max out, the fuel pump shits it, the afm is too small, the std turbo is too small, the exhaust needs to be free flowing, the exhaust manifold sucks, the cams will be played with at some point, the pfc is installed (then tuned with a datalogit - u will need to do this), then when u think you have finished upgrading the gearbox will go, the rear subframe will now flex on its old mounts, and finally the tyres that you classed as expensive will be a must because there is no way the torque will get put to the ground.....

Thats about 9k (being conservative)....

But the actual motor is a cheap job..... :lol:

The price that was paid is between Andrew and i if you

wish to know private message andrew and he will tell

you if he so wishes to.

There is a new line in the future but this is at least 12

months away yet. for now i will be buying a brand new

nissan Pulsar to get around in, then hopefully a 34 in 1 to 2

years time.

Hope you all had a nice christmas.

Have a good one guys and girls.

i know exactly what u mean but included in that figure was the turbo, injectors and fuel pump which i already have, but we'll let everyone think its too hard and expensive to do so that no more 32's do this conversion! hehe!

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
