Hi guys, I am wanting to build an RB25/30 for my project car, have it all planned out, am getting the parts together and I know what needs doing.

Just wondering if anyone knows of a mechanic anywhere in Tassie who knows how to and can build one bottom to top and actually put 'TLC' into their work, do a good job and be fussy about it instead of just slapping it all together??

GT Garage built my car, from top to bottom, inside and out. Can't big them up enough, I love my car so much and it's all thanks to them, (and a few other special friends ;) )

If you're in the north of the state, you should check out Boost Automotive in Launceston. I think Brad @ boost actually defines fussy. Just one look at his R32 says it all.

Their down in Hobart yea? I live in Launnie but willing to travel or even send it to Melbourne. Have always been told not to go near Boost, but Brother actually called me 10 mins ago telling me to go see Brad because he built a 'fussy' rb2630 for a mate... So guess I'll look into it =) Cheers

I know Anthony shaw built a monster rb26/30 from shaw performance... Just the base tune (touched up rb26 map) was shredding toyo r1r tyres on the dyno, and beat a 330awkw gtr at powercruise... Motor is for sale aswell

probably to do with the power delivery/whack of torque vs how well its tied down and not so much peak power/quality of build when shredding tyres on dynos

(this is not meant to detract from it being a tough motor, just saying)

Didn't know there were so many factors haha.. But I know he was building it to make some stupid amount of power safely, something like 400-450rwkw.. Then rolled the car and has to re shell it :(

not so much lots of factors, just think all the 1000hp plus gtrs and cars on dynos that try to lunge off before spinning wheels.

I had brand new tyres and they turned to shit after a few power runs and started smoking on the rollers. Even with 2 guys in the boot and 2 in the back seat. Less tread next time for me :thumbsup:

My highest reading was 475

I think you will find that a lot of the big name guys will be super fussy with a build like this, their work is their reputation!

But if you wanna save yourself some cash and time, take tweetywoof's advice and buy my motor :P

Asking 10g for the complete package ready to go, owes me approx 14g

has only done all of approx 500ks. i kinda ran outta talent and binned it :S

i have reshelled it, but looking to put SR20 in it and put money into buying another gravel rally car!

Spread the word guys!

Rb26 head & intake, Kelford 272 cams

RB30 bottom end, forged pistons, shotpeened rods, nitrated crank, ACL race series bearings, ARP stud kit (top and bottom)

Stainless steel exhaust manifold with 50mm external waste gate and screamer

Garrett 35/82 Turbo

SuperSpark Coils

Haltech Pro Plugin computer

RB25 gearbox & Tailshaft

comes with all oil fittings and drain lines etc (braided & Heat wrapped)

and a heap of other bits i cant think of at the moment, but its a good thing!

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
