I have a trust return flow intercooler and has made up to 290rwkw on the dyno without any issues. We pulled out some timing and reduced it to 279 and its been great.

The previous owner also on here made 310rwkw with it.

It seems to be a discontinued model as I cant find them still for sale anywhere. I think the blitz one will do it also.

What cooler do you have now?

Rebuild?? Please explain

Mines making 350ish on E85 with a Blitz Return Flow, its showing no signs of restriction at that level.

Hamish's motor may have knock from the bearing, hence he's talking about rebuilding his 25.

Harey, his FMIC is currently the one that goes through washer bottle (R33 by the way).

Hamish, you going to dirty 30 and pray Melbourne's finest doesn't pick 20mm taller motor?

plan at this stage is to rebuild and do the 3.0 yes.... and there is no way they will notice the extra height

currently i'm running a hybrid GT cooler

Any info on what happened mate? Or still a sore point

Have you decided on what turbo you will use with the 3.0L?

not sure really... as i was driving home (sedately) i was just ambling along in second about 50m from home and heard a slight "thunk"

i figured it was just a rock hitting the front bar so parked the car and went inside

next morning i turned the key and i could hear a faint knocking coming from the engine bay. i popped the hood and listened for the sound and it was coming from the back of the motor.

i eased on the throttle cable and the knocking got faster... i then turned the car off and it hasn't been fired up since.

oil pressure is correct, oil and water both look good, no leaks, oil level is perfect.

the plan for the 3.0 is to build a setup that will be responsive as all hell, and reliable! hence i plan to use the same turbo, even though it may be a little small, and possibly prone to creep, i think the delivery will be phenominal

.68 will be too small for a 3l, need a 3076 in a .82 like Al ;)

i dont want to make as much power as al, as i cant afford a top dollar build at the moment.

i'm planning to use the small turbo for lightning response, and sub 300rwkw for longevity

Pretty easy to work out what went wrong :)

15yo motor making over double the factory power...

this....

well i always said it was gonna happen eventually... and anyone that knows the car knows it had a good life.... hard... but good ;)

mostly i'm just srprised it didn't happen banging off the limiter mid slide... it just decided one morning it had had enough lol

problem is i just wont know till it's pulled down and from that point, the difference in goin 3.o isn't all that much

That doesn't really sound like a big end... Sure you don't want to get it checked out before possibly forking out when it might be something fixable?

Anyhoo sucks when it happens :(

If I was you I'd be going another stocker RB25, so much easier than a RB30 and I bet a hell of a lot cheaper!

Edited by SimonR32

Could be heaps of things, maybe take it down to Trent or a mechanic and ask them for their opinion :)

Or are you just using a noise as a excuse for a upgrade :P

PS: To check if it's a big end you could always do a limiter skid down the road, if a rod comes out the block it's probably a big end haha

trent's gonna have a listen when he's in the area next... he's heard it over the phone and said it didn't sound great...

i am of course looking for an excuse to do a 3.0 but if i can fix it for a grand i'll be going that route....

i'm not really thrilled at the idea of a kinder surprise, which is why build comes to mind i spose

    • That's f**ked up. I'd guess it's more likely that you have an entire S13 subframe in there. Does it still have HICAS mounting points? Seeing as it is quite possible that yours is the only such converted car in the world, you'll probably struggle to find someone who can tell you from direct experience. 'Twere I you, I'd be looking for 4 stud Skyline rear brakes and convert back. At a minimum. Preferably go find all the stuff you need to put it back to 5 stud (assuming you're happy to change wheels) and upgrade to some decent brakes. You don't even need much stock stuff. Don't need calipers or rotors, as you can go fully aftermarket. Just needs hubs and the other bits and bobs that are different to what you have now.
    • The engine has nothing to do with it. The physical space behind the headlight is the limiting factor. And the height. The height of the NS70 is the same as stock. So the clamp bar across the top goes on nice. The battery tray is big enough for it to sit on. The X is for extra capacity - it has even more lead in it than the non-X NS70. Heavy f**ker. But it's not a track car, so I will suffer a couple of extra kg. In the case of the R34, maybe the physical space there is not as deep (forward-backward, not up down). Hence why they say the 60 is the biggest. But I would never trust a catalogue to tell me what will fit. I have the car. I have the existing battery. I have the tape measure. I have the dimensions of all the available batteries. I find the biggest box that will go in. (With the right terminals in the right places, of course).  
    • Hello! I have been having a hard time finding the answer to this question… I have a R32 GTS-T Sedan than has been 4 lug swapped using S13 hubs, rotors, and brakes. The front has also been converted to S13 suspension.    When the swap was completed, the handbrake cables were never hooked up, as the S13 rear calipers are the “handbrake”, and not the typical drum on rotor that the R chassis are. Does anyone know handbrake cables that will work for this conversion? I’d like to not use a hydraulic handbrake and stick with the traditional cable style. My original thoughts were to go with S14 cables and try to make them work, since I’m pretty sure S13 cables will be too short.    Any help would be appreciated!
    • I did some research, considering you have a neo engine, how is that battery compatible? I checked centuries website and super cheap and says it's not compatible. Only this full size one is. https://www.centurybatteries.com.au/products/ns60-mf
    • No, lets be honest here. I went to Winton and did a track day, for all the mods and V8 power and craziness I posted up a time that a K24 stock motor Honda Accord can do on the same tyres (narrower, too) 250kw and learning how to drive the f**kin thing is the sweet spot.
