My Rb26/30 Build

[j2fast]

well i just wanted to share my build with my fellow RB peps. so not only am i building the motor but im also doing right hand drive conversion aswell. for the most part the RHD is complete well the body part but still need to do the wiring, the motor is coming together. im doing rb30 which its gonna be 3.1L with big turbo(S372) 1000cc injectors dual fuel pumps on E85. Full over haul, 1mm oversize valves springs retainers, port and polish. i have a blog i started so ill keep that updated aswell this post when get things do to car. my goal is 700-800whp. hopefully this will do good and last long time. the site is http://www.j2fast.blogspot.com

Just a pointer re RHD.... Have you looked into compliance on a japanese car? It would be a hell of a lot cheaper to buy a car out of japan and get it shipped to the states.

It just seems crazy doing a RHD conversion on a car that was always designed and mostly produced as a RHD vehicle. Would save you so much heartache to just buy one..

If its an S13 you can pick them up for next to nothing (probably similar there in the states).

Isn't there a Projects, Overhauls and Build-ups section on this site?

In the states it's not that easy. Here these cars are highly illegal, so customs will sieze these cars as soon as they cross over here. You cant bring them over in the full car, so thats why you usually see them chopped in half. That's why we only get front clips. People who have these cars are getting them taken away by the government and they get crushed.

RB30 block is 38mm taller which is 1.496 inches,

youll need a new manifold fabbed up once engine is in the car

Needs some wider tyres! That's a massive turbo... are you having a bonnet bulge or scoop?

I have made a spacer for the hood for now but I'm thinking of making a cool looking scoop for tho. What you think?

have you made sure this one doesnt catch on fire again...

Are you after a 'your so cool' post or did you actually have a question?

maybe you should put this stuff in the build thread...

back pats galore there...
