Im hoping to be selling them in a package deal with rods and pistons to suit. ( Either std length rod and custom piston or vise versa )

I had been thinking about it for a while and it was Kyle who got me back on track with the idea. Once I get the RB30 crank sorted I want to do one for the RB26 and so on.

You guys must have a shed full of old race motors by now :-)

awesome news brad! Kyle was talking about doing a stroker conversion kit for the rb30's to bring it up to 3.3 or 3.4 litres also. But that was a little while ago. If youve got it going already thats great.'

I think we will be due to build a new race motor in the new year when we get back from the states. Depending on price, I could con my father into a stroked rb30 if its not too exxy.

dano, I've already got one lined up :D

And 33's must have more clearance standard than 32's.. standard mounts and my bonnet rubs on the front of the intake manifold and the timing belt cover, that's with 10mm spacers at the back (all the spacers did was stop the bonnet from flexing as much when I shut it :D)

will this 3540 fit lowmounted? apparently the housing has been rotated and a spacer mad up to clear cam cover

The sort of money you mentioned is a great deal for all that stuff. He normally sells a long block for 4995.

Id be interested in the plenum if its to suit rb25det (r32).

Personally id swap to the 33 head if i was in your position, for simplicity

actually he dosnt. i asked him when i saw him. unless i misunderstood but he explained his using something else. he complained that a 3.0L was to much of a hassle. he used something smaller size wise. :blink:

Correction: You are right.

His original engine did use the rb30, but i know he has redone the engine since then and he may have changed his setup. As you know Ben likes to keep his secrets :)

Some crude measurements of the GT35R left us thinking it will hit the strut tower if on a low mount in the stock location. Can't be assed with squeezing stuff in so going high mount instead along with a RIPS plenum. (low mount I would have been able to keep the stock plenum and piping). Looks like I'm going to use a TuneAgent exhaust manifold too :whistling:

OT 'again' :S

VQ30DET in an R32 GTST. All alloy; possibility of working something out with the VQ35DET. :rofl:

This was done quite some time ago now, i know the guy that did it in Perth, made high `460rwhp on < 10psi. not bad for a stock engine and a "blower"

Steve from Maytech Performance in Perth is the VQ30 guru - he puts them in lots of different cars and has custom bell housings etc

    • For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...
    • I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it. 
    • MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.
    • Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
