One of my fav cars at the moment. Engine combo is pretty insane.

Not bad for being built by a cement renderer lol

Can anyone tell me how thick the top of a CP piston for Nissan RB30/25 (86.5mm 9.0:1 comp) is, or roughly what it is?

Any info ASAP would be awesome.

My head and block is getting machined up at the moment. Apparently my pistons were missing there spec sheet so I did a search and came up with 3 thou piston to bore... thought I just read another thread that said 3.5 thou is the standard. Should 3 thou be fine for CP flat tops?

Cheers

A big 2 thumbs up and thanks to all those who have contributed to this thread.... Effing fantastic!

Just wondering if there has been an update to the pdf doc? The latest version I can get my hands on is November 2007? btw this is not the one listed on page 1, that one is 2006.

I'm currently in the planning/purchasing stage of my RB30 build up. I currently own an R34GTT and I'm planning for more of a "budget build" where my max power at the rears will be capped at 250-300KW....eventually. With a shit load of torque of course for that V8 feel! Apart from the S2-RB30 block I'm planning to keep everything as is. Sitting at the correct height by modifying the engine blocks I'm hoping to use my standard R34 head, then bolt everything back up for a standard looking engine bay. In the beginning I'm even planning to use my standard R34 turbo etc. Might end up getting it high flowed and keeping it coz the cops here in SA are nazi's and I drive this car everyday.

I don't want to be that guy who after 350 pages still asks "does anyone know..."? But if anyone has any thoughts I'm open to ideas, more importantly if anyone knows the right people to speak to here in Adelaide it would be appreciated.

Cheers in advance guys.

the 25 head needs to be modifed around the vct feed. the vct feed needs to be welded up and then the head re faced. also doesnt hurt to chuck whatever gasket your gonna use against the head and make sure the surrounding water gallery will seal properly

hey guys i'm abit confused with something that info it says head needs to be modified but doesn't say what needs modifying. what does this mean by that?

ohh ok so my s2 R33 rb25det head wouldn't be a straight fit onto an already built rb30 block that was used for the rb25/30det set up previously would it? if the head needs to be faced...

Has anyone played around with a RD28 diesel block... Ive seen that the Allout R33 is using one and running quick times

Kind of off topic but I would also like to know if anyone has done it and wants to share some information... would love to know the rev limit set in the Allout R33?

Why are you not keeping the vct? Costs very little to do - there is even a thread on doing it without an external feed.

couldn't be bothered doing the extra work haha & you only lose acouple hp with out so i've been told...

got any links for the threads anyone?

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
