UPDATE I have found both an RB26DETT Head and RB30 Series 2 Block (from two different sellers) that are most likely going to be the ones I purchase for the build. I have also stumbled across another stroker, Nitto's RB32 Stroker which has more credibility and testimonials than the RB34, however it is still up in the air. Coming in at just under $10,000 further research must be done to justify using this stroker. One last thing, Kelford camshafts are going to go into the head of my RB26/30 as JHH has some pretty wicked history with them getting an extra 70KW out of a car in ZOOM magazine is just nuts! Thats all for now, OUT

G'day fellow SAU members, I am chasing an RB26DETT head that has no modifications and is in perfect working order with no damage. I can drive up as far north as NOOSA and down to about BYRON BAY. Cheers, Aaron

Cheers mate, If you want to follow my build here is the link, http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/358635-rb2630-build/page__p__5737479__fromsearch__1#entry5737479

UPDATE I have had a chat to JHH Engineering and it looks like I will be going with them for my head work and I may be going with over sized valves however, I have to go down in person to JHH to solve that matter. I am going to get my head ported and polished because I will be pushing around 24psi through it as a rough basis and it is always a good place to start as the bottom end cops the power while the head controls it I have also stumbled across the RB34 Stroker Kit from Spool and priced at $5,500 that is fairly priced seeing as it comes with the I Beam Con Rods and CP pistons. It looks very enticing as I am after a 600hp weapon that has a lot of torque rather than an insanely high power figure that will give be an unnecessary top speed that I will never clock .

Oh yer, I didn't mean to sound cocky I was just trying to say that this will be my life's work so it isnt just a pipedream and I am going to commit to it. I am going to get my head ported and valvetrain put together possibly with jhh engineering. I may balance and machine my crank with them also. I am going to build the components as I go and in the end get it tuned by an engine builder that specializes in motec ecu systems. Student wages are shit I know but it won't be going together for another year or so, so I am not expecting to finish it by July. Thanks for the advice though Aaron

Good call, I was just thinking about running 24 psi and possibly in the future amping up the power so I would do all of the flow and strength upgrades now. My dad's best friend just blew his $50,000 chev big block drag engine up because a valve snapped because it possibly was getting slammed shut to hard, I know this could be due to the duration and lift of the cam being to steep but to give myself some piece of mind I would like to purchase after market, strengthened valves. Just my opinion. Don't get me wrong I am not denying the idea, Thanks for the feedback. Aaron

G'day Guys, I am chasing a series 2 or 3 RB30DET Block around Brisbane. I can drive up to Sunshine Coast and down far as Byron Bay. Cheers

Nah mate not yet, I am acutally planning on building the 26/30 myself to learn along the way a bit more about valve train lifts, durations and position along with installation, other dimensions like what is huge and what isnt and what not. Thank you for the offer

UPDATE I have found a port and polished head in Melbourne without the camshafts and valves and this led me to my next potential purchase valves. I am torn between Supertech +1mm OR Ferrea +1mm because both are well known and have been used in several big engine builds. Supertech is recommended by a few Brisbane engineers and are slightly cheaper however you can't go past Ferrea although they are an extra $200 for a set of valves, so let me know what you think? I am going to wait and make up my mind when it comes to the time of buying them.

Sorry guys, actually building an RB26/30 so won't be needing the DE. Thankyou Anyway

My budget is fairly extensive BMYHOE, that is why I am building over 18 months and I want the possibilities to be endless. cheers titan for that

Yer, dad was on your side he said why bother when you can build a turbo and in 18 months you can drive it, thank god for parents right

I am 19 in July and I am a second year mechanical engineering student at QUT and my mother and father have an r33 series 2 gts-t and dad has been working on that for the last couple of years. So I have some guidance, how do you think I got the rb26/30 idea

PWR Radiator/Oil Cooler So as you have probably already realised this is the beginning, and these are the parts I have thought up tonight after some research and RB knowledge. I may have missed a few things but it is 1.30am. The build will start when I purchase the head closely followed by a block and working out the fitments and what not, then I will be getting into it. I will be building as I go so I am planning on building it over the next year. Feel free to pitch in your ideas, it will be street driven and yes I am aiming for 600hp, I don't want to just wing it and end up with a random figure. That is all I can think of at the moment, my name is Aaron by the way. Cheers.

Í am not doing it, I was going to a while ago then I had a sudden urge to get a skyline again after getting over them because they became quite common in the recent times. Now I settled back on my idea I had about a year ago and that was building a RB26/30. So over the next 18months I will be doing this and a thread will be going up within the next couple of weeks if you older boys want to give me some tips. I have been reading a couple of other threads mostly huddy's and Simonster's, so I have a fairly good scope on oil mods that I didn't know of before. So hate if your gonna hate, but if not welcome Cheers

It works out to be cheaper in the long run, I believe if you have a hoist.

Hey mate, Sorry for the mess around, I am now going to postpone this purchase for a while as I am going to need cash to build the engine. Cheers, Aaron

Chasing a decent R33 or R32 shell, with minimal parts missing such as engine and box. Although I am open to any offers. Located in Logan, QLD so anywhere in Brisbane/Gold Coast/Northern NSW or Sunshine coast is alright. Must be complied and be able to be registered.

I thought I would give an update, in Queensland it is legal on p-plate restrictions as long as a change of vehicle particulars form is submitted which indicates to main roads/policing body that the car with that specific VIN is now a non-turbo/naturally aspirated vehicle.

All good found a set up Keeping in mind I was chasing the stock 5 speed which is not worth anywhere near $1500 and a non-turbo RB25, I understand that the RB25DET is worth more.

Looking for an RB25DE preferably with low km's, with the 5 speed gearbox, and if possible the loom & ecu but that is not a necessity. I am located in Brisbane so Gold Coast is an option to of course. Cheers, Aaron

No Worries, I thought I would ask before going and doing it. Cheers for the replies

Yes that sounds about right, Thankyou mate

I am chasing an R33 Rolling Shell that is only missing running gear or has minimal parts missing as I have a new engine and box lined up. MUST BE Complied and able to be registered.
