Or is just jap just got really high prices???QUOTE]

Other place to try for good prices is The Toy Shop in Sydney.

Cheers

The toy shop is based in Newcastle (Cardiff and hamilton)' date=' not sure if it's assciated with the one in Sydney.

does anyone know any easy way you get the bottom crank gear(if that is what is called) off. people have been saying drill it and bang it off then get a new one. is there a better way? will a bearing puller get it off??

thanks

There is no room to get a puller behind it.

You have to drill a row of small holes along the gear from the front to the back.

And drill the same holes on the opposite side of the gear.

Then get a cold chisel and wack it.

If you drilled the holes deep enough, it will instantly split in to, two sections.

Just use a piece of tape as a depth guage, so you dont drill into the crank itself.

Hope that helps a little.

very informative thread, certainly clears up heaps for me - shall be doing this conversion soon, just purchased an rb25det vct head, and will probably go the powerFC route for management by the sounds of things!

Can't wait to get it on the road, I purchased a 1999 TH magna as a daily driver, so really, anything will be more exciting compared to that!

jesus! or you could just lever it off with a few large screwdrivers and lots of WD-40!

i've had four off and have never had a problem doing it this way.

thats how i got mine off. tight at first but use plenty of wd and keep working it back and forth and will eventually come off.

If anyone was wondering - i just assembled my 30DET and it was definately free running, which is good to know.

standard R33 head (DE cams)

standard nissan .047' head gasket

standard RB30E pistons (ACL)

zero deck height at TDC

geez it looks nice when it's all together - looks like a factory engine.

has anyone welded a gtr plenum on to rb25de runners e.g. cut the intake manifold about 2-3 cm where it bolts to the head then weld a gtr manifold on to the runners? cause for the price of doing that vs trying to run the cross over pipe it looks like a good deal, i am just not sure if it will work.

thanks

StockyMcStock,

Free running as it spins over by hand easily?

I had the sparky's in mine and couldn't spin it over by hand.

Without the sparky's it spun easy, my other half still couldn't spin it over by the harmonic balancer though.

The RB20DET on the other hand.. lol that was suprisingly easy. Comp in the rb20 was still 145psi+ aswell.

Once in the car the motor bike battery had trouble spinning it over. The rb20det was no problems. Nice big 480cc has done the trick.

I still suspect my rb30det is running around a 9:1 comp ratio.

My calcs tell me 9.2:1 with the piston comp height etc..

The engine builder said around 8.2:1.

I used Wiseco Rb25DET pistons and had the block shaved .020".

I remember seeing another person in this rb30 thread a little while back state they are running wiseco pistons and apparently they were told they will have a 9:1 comp ratio.

There is really no direct comparison between a comp ratio and the psi a comp tester will show as cam overlap between motors is different.

The only real way is to compare a result is to that of the factory result.

i.e if you run a R32 Rb25DE N/a head, compare the pressure reading to that of the factory specs for that head.

Cam overlap bleeds off cylinder pressure. Slap massive cams in the sucker and it may show 110psi. ;)

I'll be comparing my reading to that of the R32 rb25de head as I'm running that head and stock cams with an overlap of 8degree's.

The Turbo cams run 0degree's overlap apart from the RB26 head.

Hi retrotec;

they moved. i think they're in beaconsfield now, but definately in Sydney.

Cubes: free running as in if the timing belt snaps, none of the valves will hit the pistons.....

lol nice essay but :P

you can spin the crank with all pistons on by hand, but i haven't drilled the new tensioner or torqued the cams down properly yet so i'm not sure about the whole thing. cams are pretty easy to spin though, wish they were bigger :D

haha, yes I did dribble on a little didn't I. :D

Once you have oil pressure and the lifters are pumped up the RBDET's are interference.

I don't know why as it should matter but its the way it is. :D

RB20DET's are free running but once actually started and running the pistons smack the valves. Only slightly I suspect as Bl4ck32's only lost valves in 2 cylinders. The others had obviously hit but didn't completely snap. lol

Just skimming through the 100 odd pages as you do.

Whats the verdict on oil pump. Is the standard RB30 pump good enough. I guess you will see little more RPM with the RB25 head and the boost will add to the stress put on it.

An RB30ET pump is fairly expensive I believe. If you were only going for about 230rwkw it seems that

Staddard RB30E ACL pistons are the go

All other standard RB30E for bottom end including oil pump???

Thanks

I went a second hand low km RB25DET oil pump for $100-150 I forget exactly, the rb25 pump is actually the same as the std. R32 GTR pump.

Lots of oil pressure. Over 8 on the stock guage when cold, when warm 4000rpm+ sees oil pressure nudging 7. cruise is 2, idle is just over the first line.

To be honest the DET doesn't see that many more rev's over the SOHC. Around 1000rpm or so, say 6000rpm peak power providing your hot side is free flowing.

    • No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.
    • There is a known issue with the mix door motor on the Q50 which causes these symptoms, not sure if it is common on the Y51 though.
    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened.
