My Rb30det Into Gts4 Build

[sky30]

As some people know i am working on dropping the RB30det i had in the Black R32 gts-t into a R32 gts4 with 4WD. The motor is just about ready to drop in, Just thought i'd share a few pics of the exhaust manifold i built to low mount my GT3540.

Very nice...

Got any pics of the the exh. manifold with its heatshield on?

Did you manage to get the stock heat shield fitted with a bit of manipulation or are you going to make one up?

If the stock heat shield fits its going to look almost invisible.

Bring your car cozza, take us for a ride, you had it back on a chasis dyno yet?

Joel:- I had a stock RB25 n/a heat sheild i bent up to make it fit. The RB25 n/a shield has thick white blanket material on the underside which should work good. I see if i got sum pics.

would of by now but thats to an engineering company in qld i now have a bend valve and a couple of chips in my piston, the collet pulled through them billet retainers on weekend. so am going through the legal process of getting it repaired. which could take some time.

Had street machine magizine ask for photo shoot on weekend too.

Darren, yeah i went 26head this time for the solid lifters to allow bigger cams and the better GTR plenum.

The aim is to keep it all looking stock, similar to my black R32.

NICE!! - Would like to do this to my GTS4 as well. Maybe later this year.

Like the stealth idea with the heat shields etc.

Can you get to those Cam Cover screws?

My HKS Tubular intake makes it damn hard but possible.

Like the full polished look as well, looks trick.

What sort of price would a manifold like that be worth to buy from you?

If it helps, blew a tyre last night doing the speed limit funny enough on the new front left tyre. Ended up with alot of hours lost, damaged radiator hoses, thermo fan had to be repositioned and wiring re-done, and exhaust re-heated and put back into shape (that was from the trailor).

Miss ya on the cruises mate, hope to catchya soon, and if you manage the photoshoot this weekend enjoy

Will do mate. You around all this week.

Craig:- usually at my shed after work(6pm), slowly gettin the motor ready to drop in. Give us a call or sms if you heading over.

Andrew,

Is the head bolted on?

If not I have a 1.5mm tomei restrictor you can have.. I have no use for it.

[mr_rbman]

looking good andrew, good to see everything is getting done again, can't wait to see her!

how are my cams coming along?

[sky30]

Ash:- yeah, getting close, still got cams here (sitting in cupboard), just havent been to adelaide for about 6 months.

Joel:- head is only temporary bolted on ( havent done final assembly), i have blocked off the rear oil feed with a screw i made, i may be interested in that restrictor. what do you think i should run 1.8 or 1.5mm oil feed at front and rear blocked??

[Cubes]

Its usual to run a minimum 1.5mm front with a blocked off rear.

'Some' (Jun pumps etc) run down to 1-1.25mm front and blocked off rear.

Either way you can have it.

[sky30]

Joel:- I thought the 1- 1.2mm were for those running GTR or N1 oil pump, im only using a std RB20det pump, thats why i thought id stick with 1.8mm, or 1.5mm.

Are RB20det pumps same or nat as much flow as RB25det pumps?

Do RB30 blocks come std with 1.8mm restrictors??
