just dropped the r30 at the elicticans, would you believe it the only other car there was this stunning all black r32 gts-t running an rb25det, sweet looking beast, front and rear gaurds were flared or made to look like a gtr. Phat.

on the topic now, hope to get the car back soon with all the things fixed, lights, tacho, boost gauge all these thing were not finished as i had to take the car to get the suspention finished as they needed the car to run to do the work. also by the time its finished the parts from gus should be here so thats one more thing out of the way!

Hows it going guys, just thought i'd let you know how my rb25 conversion was going. well the old engine came out pretty easy. Now im just searching for an R31 xmbr, mounts and brackets to bolt the RB25 too. everything else isnt going to bad, clutch master cylinder was simple bolt off bolt on. However with brake booster, you have to drill out the firewall a little to get the new one to fit. no biggy. other than that im now just trying to track down some magna discs and calipers because apparently they bolt up to skylines quite nicely (only r32's and onwards though). we'll see about that though.

hey guys im currently trying to add some mods to my car and was wondering if anyone had any pics of the mods they have done and instructions on how to do them... all help would be appreciated as im only a newbie with limited experience with cars... btw my car is an 82 skyline hatchback with the l2.4e engine..

yeah we've lost about 3 pages of info, alot of good stuff, trying to think of where the oil would come from, have you looked underneath for any oil spray, as the only thing i can think of is the gear box as thats the only thing with oil in that area?

I just bought a turbo R30 ES and it's really sweet man!! I was looking into upgrading it a bit and was wondering what i can do that is practical and affordable tuning. It's got a GT-R exhaust on it already and a bit of CAM work but it is only runing standard boost and i want it to be around 200-250 horses. Any ideas? :D

Chu-rulz- firstly, are you going to stay with the l24e or look for something more eventful. if its anything to you, i have a ti hatch, now there not a bad place to start, they are not that power producing unless you spent big dollars. but if you want to start start with plugs, leads and filter, use a good fuel system cleaner every few tanks, then its exhaust, a custom set of tuned extractors will always help, get rid of the final muffler something a bit more sports like 2.25/2.5 inch system, theres a good start or just put in an rb20det and not look back!!

r30-turbo- i guess you are running the l20et engine? the only other things i can come up with would be maybe a bottom end swap for the l24e then big turbo, ecu chipping or swap?? for that power may cost big dollars as i mentioned to chu-rulz, a mate has a pual newman version with the l20et and is running 22psi with no intercooler and is getting around 200hp at the flywheel, the paul newman version is a slightly higher rated engine though,

rsx84- i am looking at sticking with the l24e at the moment until i got the dough for a bigger engine. it already has a huge custom tip on the exhaust. i am about to do the plugs and leads, i also want to modify the air filter but i dont know how... also where would i get extractors from?? btw im in newcastle, nsw

R30_Turbo welcome to the club bro!!! Its a very good club to be into!!! Whats done to your car?? Its an HR yer???

This friday, turbo will be in operation, well the oil lines will be done, and all the hoses and fittings will be ready for the water lines, then its a case of hooking it all up, and getting a dump made for the tubrz and thats that side of it done...Then pipe work to go and PARTS!!!

BTW the wheels look swoite as on the car, if i can find somewhere to host them, i'll put a link up for yas!!!

    • More assembly going on, with all sorts of "bolt right on bro" scenarios going on here. Smartly, PTV clearance was checked. And I say smartly because it turns out that the intake was 0.009" from piston meeting valve. This is 0.23mm. This is very not okay. A fast meeting was facilitated between engine builder in Australia and engine builder in the USA which was actually incredibly helpful and constructive actually, various ideas thrown around to get around this issue including: 1) Retard the cam timing which would have brought the exhaust valve closer to meeting piston (it was 0.065") which was uncomfortably close to begin with, and change the cam profile making it 'laggier' 2) Much larger head gaskets which would reduce compression, but half the point of this was to increase compression. 3) New set of pistons ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) 4) All of the above 5) Get ghetto The concept is you get sticky sandpaper and stick it back to a valve, slightly larger than the valve you/I'm using, like say from a LS3/rectangle port head. You now have a very super advanced flycutting tool to modify your pistons in your block. Then you install it in your head, and attach the other end of the head to a drill. Then you just replicate your valve smashing into a piston with your spinning drill.   This is the result. Repeat many times. It is strongly recommended you have some kind of fixed stop when doing this for extremely obvious reasons because if you press too hard then you're well into apocalyptic repercussion land. The minimum clearance on the intake valve is now 0.075" this is still in the "Too close to be really comfortable" and into "It should be fine" land. Supposedly in the real world the clearances will be slightly bigger. Guess this is what happens when people push envelopes for N/A engines instead of adding boost! Time to move onto the new, upgraded, higher ratio roller rockers from Yellaterra, all tapped and threaded with a stronger bolt for better stability. Very nice. Lets see how they fit. For f**ks sake. Time to bring the grinder out for these aftermarket, machined and CNC'd heads. Looks like the new, beefier rocker from YellaTerra has gone from Bolt on part to "Bolt on part". Well, lets see how this bolt on crank scraper and windage tray goes then, shall we? There actually is more clearance than they specify for this thing, but seeing it all move as you check it is terrifying when you see it all so very very very very nearly hit things. But after all, this is what the item is designed to do after all and actually did bolt on perfectly and have enough clearance to everything and some very clear and direct instructions. So +1 to Improved Racing I suppose. As above with the windage tray on. Photo of breaker bar wonkiness for added lols. Next up: Oil pump/front cover/water pump/sump and then it's time to actually install the heads, pushrods, head bolts, valve cover gaskets and such is all there and ready to go. (except the oil pump bolts which were previously longer for more clearance with the previously perfectly installed double row timing chain). There's definitely a sense that someone other than us has been here before and done everything perfectly, or at least considered it and came up with working solutions. Perhaps the previous cam was 6deg advanced to avoid PTV issues with the milled stock heads? In any case when I attempt to sell this stuff the buyers are going to be very directly informed.
    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
    • I just used a can that's easy to empty after every session and pour it back into the fill hole. Takes about 40 seconds when you have 40 minutes between runs :p I don't see how changing any catch can stuff will reduce pressure if the system is sealed. And if it's vented - Does it matter where it's vented with regards to overall pressure?
    • Welp, too late already committed to the cam cover breathers to be welded on. I did think about adding a catch can in line with the drivers side sump breather as a phase 2 along with a drain to the sump on the original catch can but with an inline ball valve so I can have it closed if needed.    Likely a single breather would have been enough but I think I’m overcompensating to hopefully not have to empty my catch can and clean up oil over flow every session.    out of curiosity has anyone actually measured crank case pressure before and after various mods? I’m considering adding a sensor for science
