Built Rb25/30 Power Figure ?


Recommended Posts

Don't roll over that easy, it's the principle of the matter. If it's been done to you and the guy gets away with it, what's to say he won't do the same thing to someone else again later?

I say confront the bloke about it, but don't start accusing him straight up. See what he says when you question him about what you have found.

yeah i have confronted him about other things he said he put on the car but he didnt, but he didnt like it much at all he was getting so annoyed by me cos i know what am talking about but oncei get the head off and see what the real drama is i will definatelly give him a call and tell him a few things he might not like

yeah it was preety much like that lol am not really pissed off its just it came at the wrong time i was always wanting to build an rb30 that can withstand a real punishment. maybe this is my time, SPOOL has got a preety good stuff that he sells. but finding a trusted builder in adel is a bit hard u hear stories of other people and it just makes u wonder :(

thats y i do as much as i can, i am a car sparky but have a broad mechanical knowledge

I've got a RB28 built by James at Nisspeed in adelaide, its done 30k+ hard kms, seems to know how to build an engine.. ;) and does quite a few 30/26 & 30/25..

well well well oh boi do i have a story for you guys, well during the last 3 days i have been pulling my engine apart and i have found out that its only a standaard rb30 no VCT either, it has cracked a ring land like most rb30 do when pushed a bit. now this is supposed to be a built engine my friend got screwed over and i ended up being screwed over cos i bought the car, not blaming a friend one bit, i spoke to the guy that said "engine is built and he denied it, he was certain he built it blah blah blah. I then sent him a photo of the piston, and then he saaid he will see what hes gonna do about it, will be waiting for his call sometime this weekend.

now i am not a f@####n idiot and i am getting a bit annoyed by how much bullshit he can talk ohhh myyy.

ive checked the bore its a 85. something cant remember so its standard,

pistons are standard rb30, its even got a nissan print inside the piston

now cams that are suppousecd to be 270, 9.11mm are not

ive measured the cam lobe and calculated and my lift end up being about 8.9,

what cams are in it f*k knows?

now ill try and get some money of this guy at least for the rebuild kit which is 2k from spool imports

will keep u updated on how it all ends up being

so disappointing :( :(

how streetable are those 272 cams? mine are only 256 and its on the verge of too rough on idle/stalling almost.

Almost stalling?

Sort your tune out.

Well just a lil update guys i have stripped the whole motor and will be sending it back to sydney for a rebuild by the guy who originally put the whole engine in the car/ rebuild. I have also found out a full story in behind this engine and it ends up that the guy from SMD workshop has bought the short block of anothey guy who wanted to do the conversion, so basically he has lied to the guy from the workshop that the engine has been done, it all looked legit with shiny pistons and all but pistons were only new rb30 pistons. I do appologise for calling him a lier and a bullshit artist. i just didnt know the full story but still doesnt change the fact that couple of the things he said didnt make sense anyway ill leave it at that. we just got off on the wrong foot. anyway. will be rebuilding the engine properly and hope it all goes well :)

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
