Reading an article the other day in Zoom i think it was a guy had an RB30/26 setup which i well known to everyone as is the head/block combos but after reading his setup infact he has a RB30 with a RB25 head with RB26 internals in the head now i wasnt sure if this was exactly possible i have heard of people saying "my RB25 head is RB26 spec or better" but not RB26 internals and if so how many other parts and internal parts are swappable?

I did search for this maybe just wasnt using the right words if there was somthin on it.

Just means he wasted time puttingh RB26 cams or something into a RB25 head - as that is all such a conversion is, waste of time :P

You can do anything you want really, just need money.

As for the mods actually being beneficial/worth the time, that is a whole other story.

Could it not also mean it was a RB25DE head and the valve springs were changed to RB26 items?

I think I read that was done somewhere in one of the hybrid build documents ive seen floating around. Dont ask me though.. i'll leave head building for my machine shop.

If you can get another look at it, it would be helpful. Look for the VCT solenoid next to the intake cam gear above the coolant out hose. If its there, (or removed and plugged), then you have a RB25DET head.

Otherwise its a RB25DE head (non vct), which is a direct bolt on to the RB30 block. As well as they use a similar valvetrain to an RB20, so they can be upgraded with RB26 parts. IE, springs, cams and lifters.

Rb25DET's use a hydraulic lifter so the 26 liftes arent compatible for that head.

Was it a car from Canberra?

If so, thats Fitspatrick SPeed Works (yes, he's on these forums every now and then)

i thought that car was running 26 head with a 25 block as they broke the 26 and had a spare 25 they werent using.

or is that one of the other ones?

RB20DET and RB25DE (R32 - non VCT) are hydraulic lifter heads aswell..

      At SMSP, I mainly see Hondas, M cars, A90 Supras and of course, plenty of Evos. Have not seen a single R32 ro R34 Skyline on the night sessions that I've been to. That's really saying something.

      I like mine. Much better than stock. Like i said before the reverse/parking cameras look even worse than normal, still useable. When you buy one make sure it's the latest version. Heaps of cheap ones that run the old hardware and software. Got mine from AliExpress. Mine is quick no lag, boots up 1-2 sec. Menu is fast. Netflix is fine and so is YouTube. Android Auto is random taking 3sec to 15sec. Most of the time it's quick. Very rare it doesn't connect. But that could be a phone thing.   Now I think they use a Pixel 3XL to run this whole thing which i guess is fine, but the problem is that some apps will not work on old hardware like Disney Plus  Maybe Prime Video too 🤔. they will not update. Iv'e tried getting the APK Disney + but i still couldn't get it working. I have a Data sim installed so i have internet all the time. You can't Hotspot off your phone and connect Android Auto at the same time. Not that you need too, if you want you can hotspot off your phone and run any internet map app (google maps) and you can run the Spotify app on it's own (the app runs better than android auto) You can still access the INFINITI intouch system for all the o.g stuff    P.S i got new non Polarization Sunglasses too 😎

      I also don't mean to rain on your parade. But with a 5-10k budget for road only? I'd want to check confirmation that everything IS working correctly and I'm with @GTSBoy for a plan of action here. I'd be checking subframes, bushes, exhaust hangers, interior bits and generally QOL things and CONFIRMING they are working right before thinking about motor. You can get 250KW+ on stock RB26 hardware by simply removing the built in restrictors and tuning the stock ECU. If you want purity that's as far to take it, which I would be worried to do and won't think the budget would allow for when earnestly checking for 30+ year old car stuff.
