Hey everyone, am nearing completion of my RB25/30 build, but I seem to be stuck on setting up the timing.

 

I have drilled and tapped the block above the water pump for the timing belt tensioner, am using a RB25 idler below the water pump, crank is at TDC, but am unsure on where my cams are supposed to be at. I also have adjustable cam gears to go onto the cams, once the motor in full is set to TDC correctly. To make it easier, the block is a standard A6 VL N/A block, and the head is standard aswell, valves, cams, with the exception of the VVL being blocked off in the head.

 

If someone could help me out with this it'd be muchly appreciated. Have tried searching in this thread alone and also the whole of SAU, but cant find a definite answer. With 359 pages worth of thread here, I tried looking, but it seems a lot of people like to talk shit in here too which makes it all that much harder..

Install the adjustable cam gears straight off and use the markers as per Ben's comment.  Then pay someone competent to degree your cams.  Hint: this is far easier and less time consuming to do on the bench/engine stand.

Hey team. 

Massive thanks for this thread. It's amazeballs. 

Just wondering if a factory 25DE ecu could be used to get a 30DET running. Just temporarily so I can check everything for leaks and I'm eating myself noises before it goes for dyno tune.

Not sure what ecu I'm going to use yet will speak to the tuner before to see what brands they are familiar with. 

 

Once again cheers guys

Is this still the thread to read with regards to high hp sohc rb30 applications?

Most stuff on here will relate to DOHC heads.  
What info specifically are you chasing?

Just thought I would bump this 20 year old thread because the Skid Factory have just posted up a video summarising a lot of the content, format might be more familiar for newer members

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
