What do you want to know about them?

Ok, on their website;

Here

theyhave different sizes, materials (steel or aluminium), outer diametre ect ect...

To chase a high horsepower application (1,000) which one would best be suited.

Would a larger outer diametre with 3 ring setup help reduce harmonics as there is more weight to counteract?

I can get them for about $950.

My Gts4 came with, hks turbo, power fc, aftermarket fuel pump, 3" kakimoto exhaust, hks plugs, hks filter and 4 balled tyres so i guess it was setup for thrash ;), perhaps thats why it has a gtr box! Clutch was Gtr when i took it out too , do the gts4's have an lsd, when i do a sharp turn at about 5kph up a hill sounds like i have a locked diff, sounds like one of the rear wheels is moving faster then the other???

Not the cv's, drive shafts or diff as they are the same as GTR's and very rarely do you have problems with them. Even at that power, you will have to be a nice guy to your gearbox, depedning on its condition and the life its led, always be gentle on 3rd once you have over 300rwkw!!!

i found another RB30 conversion thread on gtr register.

good to see the popularity of the conversion.

of particular note is post number 3 & 47 bagging the "aussie" supplied sump adapter plate. i hope it is not someone from here.

No its no one from here, its not really bagging just stating he'd like to know who supplied him the adaptor plate, I'm assuming the problem is the same as what I've heard, holes didn't line up perfectly, and it must be perfect when dealing with countersunk bolts.

RIPS did the first 4wd rb30det that I know of over in NZ, he's been around for a long time playing with these things.

He was the one to tell me the std rb30 oil restrictors are borderline but ok.

A quick question re injectors

I have nismo 740cc injectors in my s15 greedy plenum.

Would these also suit the GTR head? (R32 or 33)

pretty sure s15's are side feed, rb26's are top feed!

unless for some funny reason greedy changed there stuff to suit top feed as well as ive seen some aftermarket setups.

but yes generally SR, r33 RB25 = side feeds, RB20,26 = top feeds.

tho if you can get 6x side feed s15 inj's they flow more fuel than the stock r33 items.

Not Autos and not Australian delivered S15's, only the JDM manual has higher than 370 cc's

:D cheers :D

Hello .................... over here ............... RB30DET in R32GTR, started in 1999 finished in 2000

Shall I show you the first post on SDU, where I told RIPs the principles?

He can probably lay claim to the first R32GTS4 with RB30, no argument there.

In 1995 we also did a very early (not the first, but close to it) RB30 "D" ET, using an RB20DET cylinder head.

I need to check the exact numbers but I think we are up to ~10 X RB30's with 4wd.

The quality of the supplied adaptor plates (the race team fabricator doesn't have time to make them any more) has been steadily improving with our input. So what was a minor irritation 12 months ago, no longer exists.

:) cheers :D

Guys;

Just wondering how RB30s are treating hard driven (not abused) GTR and RB25 gboxes. I did a search on 'gearbox' here and got some threads from 2003 but that was it; found references to 320 rwkw being well wthin the capacity of the RB25 box, and the GTR box running happily with 650 hp (fly I assume) but not much on torque capability.

I'd hate to have to detune an RB30 so that the gearbox will live and I don't want to shell $5k for a gearset.

Cheers

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
