oh and in regards to the patrol pathfinder, etc block head combine, i was a bit off :cool:

you use the rb30 block, rb26 head and nissan Navara or pathfinder (forgot which one exactly, but a bit of google will surely ifnd it) pistons, conrods and crank.

they will make the engine to a 3.2 or 3.4l engine.

Care to elaborate on exactly how this "might" be possible? Larger pistons dont solve the problem of the block being thin in the bore. Fact is, you can not bore past 88mm with an RB block (all of them) before the cylinder thicknesses get below 2mm.

You can use that bore size if you wanted to grout fill the block as well, but thats not going to work for a street engine, as you would need to do a complete fill to get the strength in the block where it's needed (at the top 1-2" of the cylinder). Even then, an 88m bore is only 3.1lt anyway with an 85mm stroke.

Stroker crankshafts like the one that Spool are developing, combined with a sleeved block (to allow an 88mm bore) are about the only way you can get anywhere near 3.4lt.

3.2lt is easier to achieve. A 6" chevy rod with 1.88" big ends on an offset ground 87mm RB30 crank, with an 87.5mm piston will get you a 3.15lt. 87.5 is about as large as I've "read about" people running without sleeving (not my recommendation though). And you'd want to be dam sure about your tune, so you dont go splitting the thin bores. Having an engine that can only be tuned to 7/10ths is pretty pointless in my opinion.

im not 100% on how it all got done, i didnt do it, the tuner doing my mates skyline did it, i will be going there tomorrow and ill see if i can get a couple of answers.

could be that conrods are shorter or pistons have a differnent top. in which case youll have really low compression but more litres. or even if the crank has a longer stroke/ turning circle. but ill ask him how the fkuk he did that all tomorrow.

since i havent done it i can only speak from word of mouth.

but on another note, i say buy a 24u block and keep your skyline a skyline not a hybrid "Commoline"

i know this thread is about the engine, but is there a car involved??? i kinda got lost after a while....

Well I haven't bought the car yet, like I said it will definitely be within 1-2 weeks. I just need info on this because the Skyline hasn't got alot of forums around, they're either Japanese or in the UK. This site seems to be solid. I only want 3/3.1 litres but if 3.4 is possible then the more the merrier. However I do want the engine to keep that "RBness" about it.

hay dude, whats this patrol block ur talking about, i think the old ones do run rb30's

mine will handle 1000hp and cost me 10k, how does the patrol block make it a 3.5litre, this is interesting...

Pretty sure the patrol block he means is the RD28 diesel block.

There is a 26/28 R33 in the latest Zoom mag with 937rwhp and has run a 8.3 @ 163mph

This thread gives me the shits, bigtime.

Buy the car. Take to someone who has done the rb30 conversion before who is local to you. Pay money. Done.

Mine is a 3L. Makes enough power to scare other built GTR owners. Still revs like an rb26, if you Fu(k it up it won't rev.

I agree Steve. This thread is almost a waste. Why would you want to buy an already well done 400kw R34 GTR [ACCESS] and then go for an RB30 stroker?

Anyway, don't waste your time, I am buying it as a daily driver. :)

Exactly Steve, thats why I popped my head in here..... but I gave up, too much cluelessness here for me.

not sure which Patrol motor you're referring to, RB30S (I have one) is an R31 motor with a carburettor (and 4wd sump, also takes ~6l oil). RB28 or TB42?

Try driving a reletively stock one IMO, then decide whether you want to go more displacement, or bigger turbos etc.

I think I'll be getting the OS Giken 3.15 motor, it seems to be coming from a solid company and I calculated it, I could make it work into the budget. Now because this thing is so expensive I want the best tuner in the country. I would be willing to go interstate for a tune if its necessary. Does anyone know a good tuner with a good workshop?

If you are so concerned about displacement, get a Clubsport!!!

or alternatively:

M3 is 3.2 or 4.5 (?) if it's the V8

2.6x1.7 turbo multiplication as per motorsport regs = 4.42, so basically the RB26 is equivelant to an NA 4.4l, but is even easier to get HP out of. Seriously get the car, drive it for a bit, play with what you get then decide what you want to improve. if it is STRICTLY a road car what the F do you need more than 300hp for? even my stock R32 with a pair of -7s is quicker that all bar the top Porsches/Ferraris/Lambos etc to 100... The way you are talking I would personally be suggesting maybe this

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
