I've also heard that I should go for a non-Turbo first, especially since I'm driving an auto atm. Seems like a wise move IMO.

The 15k includes stamp duty, rego and insurance for a year (so about 12 or 13k for the car itself).

R34 non-turbos go for about $13k these days.

Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

:devil: Just got to have a look at the girlfriends car, she's been complaining the last few days about overheating problems, turns out it's a stuffed head gasket. Trying to explain to her that you need to spend money on keeping a car going is like talking to a brick wall

Whos that Rad32 bloke? Had an awesome weekend in Blanchetown.

Ryan, me and Adrian were talking alot about RB30 bottom ends. What sort of difference would it make if i slapped one on my 25?

And Norman, if you think you'll be ok in a turbo, go for it. I went from an N/A auto S13 to my car, it all comes down to self control and, "easing into it".

all depends if its an early non turbo nonvvti rb25 head which came out in the late R32's or a later Turbo vvti rb25 head guys, im currently thinking about doing this for my R31. An oil gallery in the block has to be elongated to meet up with the vvti oil gallery in the head i believe, also a hole position is necessary to drill and tap a hole in the block for the idler pulley to incorporate the larger twin cam timing belt also. There is plenty of write ups about this on SAU and im sure Cubes has alot more information about it than i do...He'd be the one id ask if i needed information.

also, may take into consideration that most rb30's even tho they may be fine, would be worth either a standard spec rebuild with new rings etc..as a minimum requirement or either go all out and get a set of forgies etc....alot of work to just have a tired old motor wacked in.

You can run with the two lower tensioner locations. Just means a different cam belt.

Block off the oil galley for the vct in the rb25 head (not the block) and then drill/tap a feed for the vct or if you are running larger cams and don't wish to utilise the vct you drill the head to provide oil to the front cam bearing. Unsure exactly stockymcstock with his twincharged gt4088r rb30det worked out how to do it. :rofl:

If you run with the r32 rb25 head then its just bolts on and off you go. Its easy to lower the engine mounts ~13mm and should cost under $100. Boostworxs know what has to be done in this instance.

Once you go the 30 there's no going back. :D

      Nismo coppermix twinplate clutch

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
