I found out about ths engine while I was scouring the world for a cefiro for my old man... and I've found it in Nissan Altima 2.4 (Ceffy's with 2.4 litre RB24S engines) around Asia mostly (specifically in Saudi Arabia and the Phillipines).

Its apparently a inline 6 carbed engine rated at 141HP.

I'm also making a website cataloging most of the RB series engines, and the cars they were in, so does anyone have any more info on this wierd and wonderful RB engine (and yes it IS an RB engine).

Apparently these engines also exist:

RB24S

RB30S

CA16DE

CA18S

CA20S

SR18DE

RB20E

But I'm not really after info on em

RB30S VL Commodore (New Zealand model)

CA16DE EXA (the targa top ones)

CA20S S3 Bluebird

RB20E Skyline pov pack (apparently these even come in a NEO form in R34s??)

and ive seen a video with an r31 coupe with an RB24 of some sort with triple carbs and a heap of stuff done to it and it sounded horn!

yeah RB20E's are the Plasma series Engines from R32 onwards, along with RB25E are options on 32's, 33s and 34's.

Hey you'd be a good person to ask, know of any 1989 Cefiro's goin around with RB20DET's or RB25DET's in em that are for sale? Preferrably Auto (for my old man, I want the engine)

i'm interested in the 2.4 engine, after all i am looking into getting a 32 with either a rb25 or rb20.

i called the distirbutor here once to ask them about parts for the RB20 or RB25 engines, their response was that they never had any parts for any engine that has initials starting with RB, also they told me that spare parts for the CA20 engine are available (orignally on a laurel).

i guess the parts are interchangable between the CA20 and the CA18, but what about the altima's 2.4 and the R32's RB ?

many thanks

heard quite a bit about the rb24s but nothing exciting.

also dont forget the sr16ve.

there were a numbers of other rb motors but they were specials put together by tuners so not nissan. never heard of an rb 25e I have heard of and driven an and rb20e yuk yuk yuk they wont go over 150 or 160 klms some one told me. I might know of an rb 20det cefiro auto here in aus. and lastly dont for get the rd28 diesel as used in the laurels and a few other cars.

cheers

I believe there were some diesel R30 and R31 Skylines in Japan. Perhaps this engine saw use in those as well. Will get back to this thread with more info.

i meant if they were compatiable in terms of pistons, rings, bearings, belts and bearings seals...etc.

because as far as i know, the 1jz engine shares a lot with the 2jz, thats why many people around here are getting 1jz powered mark ii's. just wanted to know if it was the same with the skylines.

RB 24S replaced the L24,L28 .for counties like carbean that cant fix RB20E.

2 liter block and crank with 3 liter bore size.RB30S is also speced for the R31,GULF STATES.

My RB20E R31 passage goes good now ive using a rb30e auto trans controler.

I have a RD28 manual fitted in pintara wagon.all factor R31 diesel bits.good for towing.13.5 km/l worst tank.4200 rpm in gear on governor[5500 free rev] loaded or un loaded..

well cefy's are the old maxima's... so I guess the RB24S was the standard maxima engine in that region... come to think of it, I think Sri Lankahad the same car.

    • If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • 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
    • 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..
