Hey guys im about to embark on an engine build for my R33 GTS-T

The engine will be a RB30 block, with an RB26 head with twin turbos.

i was looking on the net and came across a website that sells a 3.4L stroker kit for an RB30

I was wondering if putting that in would be much of a gain? iv searched the forum and cant find anyone that has done it.

It would give me more displacement and torque obviously, but i guess that would also cut the ability to rev down as well

Would it be worth it?

cheers

Davy, I highly suggest thoroughly reading the RB30 subsection of the Forced Induction forum.

If you have any questions after that, then post up or PM me. Haven't done a 30 with a 26 head but we've built them with 25DE and 25DET heads so will advise where I can :(

And yes, Spool Imports will be making the 3.4L stroker kits. I believe he has two set of pistons and cranks ready to go in test engines, I wouldn't be holding my breath as to when they're available though. Which in that case, if you really do want to go RB34 at some point, maybe a stock rebuilt (freshened up) bottom end is the way to go until the 3.4L kits are released.

cheers for that i wasnt aware that it was only a test package lol

bubba: i have read the subforum. from what i understand the 26 head will bold straight up, just needs a little modification, but not as much as the 25. i will probably be in touch when i start the build :down:

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
