If memory serves me correctly, there was a blue Ti sedan in adelaide about 5 years ago, powered by a rb30et that was good for a high 11.

Car hasnt been seen in awhile

I reckon that would have been more like 2001 or so, before I even had my DR30 I used to see that thing getting round, till it got sold.

I know of a DR30 in the build that will be pushing the mid 300rwkw's I reckon or somewhere along those lines, with a forged FJ. But it probably wont be "fast" as such, we dont have a strip in adelaide so there is no point even putting effort towards that side of things

Break 11 seconds and you need to get an ANDRA license.

Break 10 seconds and you need the ANDRA license and parachute & full cage and A BLOODY LOT OF MONEY!

Ghost is right here but since he is already talking about tubs and power glide trans. i'm sure he'd know the costs involved...

best of luck with that ambitious time the matey, would love to see an R30 up there giving them hell at the pointy end of the stick.

hat's off if you get there

I don't know that what you have is enough?

I know of an KHR31 GTSX that's getting a twin turbo'd VH45 fitted to it. That's a 4.5L V8 all alloy Quad Cam 32V motor with twin turbo's and the engine weighs less than the original RB20DET.

If your planning to stay with your 6 cylinder, I would be doing the RB25/30DET conversion first & formost, before anything else and remember there is no substitute for cubic inches.

You might have a chance with 3.0L as the torque will be so much better as well.

Up against the VH45DETT I don't like your chances.

Hi thanks for the support. i am very aware of the cost involved with breaking into the 9s but since i havent seen too many r30s kicking around on the strip i figre why not!! was considering an rb30 bottom end with a 26 head but sinice i already have the 25 sitting there i might use that until its at its limits then build a new motor.

Cheers Alan

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By myrbgivesmeheadaches · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?

      Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts

      There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)

      What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
