Knowing the RB25 comp ratio probably won't help you much.

What pistons and gasket thickness are you going to be using?

gasket i haven't worked out, same with pistons, i was going to keep the standard ones, i want my compression to be around the 8.5 - 8.8 mark, only really want to run 12psi boost. I know i can get that with a smaller turbo but if plans ever change down the line i can alway squeeze more from that turbo rather than buying a new one.

I really need another engine stand, bloody vq is hogging the other one

What's the point of going a dirty 30 if you aren't going to do it properly?

Cast pistons and 12psi on a 35 will net you around 300-320rwhp. Nothing that can't be done on a stock 25 with less mucking around.

true, but i want to muck around, i have been wanting to build one for a long time now, i have a spare good running rb30e here, and i got a 25 head cheap, so why not?

yer true, i could go forged pistons, but thats another $1000 - $2000 for pistons then i might aswell replace the rods. If i dropped a 25 into it i would be following much the same process with the mods. Plus there is too many rb25 r31's around. R31's need 30 love

i dunno never watched it fully, think i fell asleep...

in other news, monday morning will be fun, testing a car for a misfire at 6500rpm on the icb anyone? i'll get the boss to drive it

    • Thanks for the update I truly appreciate it. I was trying to figure out the sensors. 
    • My son recently purchased a 93 Skyline GTS25 (NA), I am hoping to get some insight as to what potential this car has.  I have auto mechanical experience, and I am capable of working on this vehicle, but I know nothing about it.  Where's the best site to purchase parts (maintenance, repair, upgrades)? What kind of upgrades are available?  Thanks again and I look forward to any information that you all have to offer!   Darrick
    • This is a pump I have used in the past; no oil ever leaks or gets past the regulator plug.I was trying to understand what caused Nissan to not only mention it in their manuals but to also state it's a replacement part yet the part cannot be found on my pump or on any new pumps and there doesn't seem to have ever been a replacement part#.  First time I've noticed something strange like this from NIssan.     
    • yeah I have brown peeking out from in between some metal sheets close to the hood hinges. Strut towers look fine, even around the edges. some images https://imgur.com/a/brGt3Tu the one that looks the worst is the panel(s) going away right near the firewall on the passenger side, from underneath. Driver side does not look that bad.
