its way too easy to not do just for the sake of laziness. peak hp doesnt change at all without vct but you lose torque below 4500 rpm, something RB's need every bit of. for 5 mins of stuffing around its definately worth it

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?

hey people i'm doing this conversion my self & noticed on the rb25det there are an extra line from the head running to the block. what could these be used for? & what do i do with it as the rb30 block doesn't have a tapped hole on the block to fit it...

here's a pic of the rb25det block with the line>>

If you have ever driven an rb25 without it you will know it is definitely worth keeping. Up to 10-15kw in the midrange on low throttle conditions.

alright i've worked out that line is the oil drain...

in that info guide it says (The Yellow highlight towards the rear of the block is the water return.

Water feed is provided from a hose/steel pipe assembly that feeds from the opposite side of the block) MY rb25 block has this blocked off do i run a water line from the other side somewhere?

Hi everyone I'm slowly building up my 30 was wonderingwat computer will run a rb25/30 will a normal r33 apexi power fc work or do I need the pro version first time I've mucked around with computers thanks guys

it doesnt work without an oil feed. the solenoid simply feeds oil into a section of the cam which causes it to advance 20 degrees, no oil feed means no vct

Well mine does, and so do a few others I know of - has been checked by three workshops and an engine builder.

But I'm not going to argue with you about it (moreso the fact I don't fully understand why it is working, but it was the engine builder who did the modification without the feed knowing that it would still work).

There is a thread on how to supply the vct with oil internally instead of with an outside line:

Can anyone tell me if there are any fouling issues with the RB30 sump into a R34. The guide says that with the 32's and 33's it's fine but nothing about 34's. I won't need to drop the engine any lower either as I'm not running the standard plenum.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
