Angryrb's R33 Street Sweeper

[34GeeTeeTee]

Yeah i maybe should of gone for a 3582 but ill try this out first and see how it goes, should give some great midrange and sound awesome thru the streets.

Should have bought my old 3037

If its just for a responsive streeter the GT30 should do a pretty good job, will run out of puff for sure but sounds like outright power is low on the priority list?

[AngryRB]

Yeah, I think ill learn how to drive it with a 3076 and see where its limits are for a year, then it might change direction toward HTA3582, its never a closed book with these builds lol.. that's why ill build the motor strong

for future increases. but will love the 3076 spool ups on the street , I don't think it will be that slow, probably do a 12sec quarter still. I hope.

Have you been down the quarter yet matt?

Haha i know, the build never ends

Nope, been too busy thrashing on track... Will run the quarter one day but after breaking the last gearbox i have decided not to try launching the car anytime soon...

What gear and under what conditions did you break the box Matt? Trying to keep mine safeish

3rd gear, low boost, full throttle lol

[iruvyouskyrine]

Just stripped? Presuming on track during a session with very sticky tyres?

[AngryRB]

low boost being like 20psi, lol.. that will teach you HTA people..

was actually thinking bout wether to have the box checked when it comes off, wonder if you can strengthen/replace a few gears without massive cost..

Actually low boost is spot on 20psi lol

I dont think there is any cheap way around it mate, freshen up the oil and just use and abuse

[DJ-Static]

No way around the massive cost if you're doing it properly:

At the stage of deciding on pistons now, pretty much set on the wiseco pistons( with coated skirts) and rings with forged rods ( brian crower rods) off ebay,

if anyone has any input/advice im open, pretty much going for the RB25 forged pistons and decking the block, and going with the rebuild of the RB30, wondering if I should reuse my RB25 oil pump and harmonic balancer as well.. should I be testing the pump or should I be ok to assume that it will be ok? ( 180ks on my RB25 pump, no issues with it last time it was running)

Collecting parts at the moment, the RB30 is a fairly big task and don't have a lot of time at the moment so I think I might try to resurrect the RB25 , that will give me a back to back dyno comparison that way and I can enjoy driving the car again rather than who knows how long getting an RB30 built. So will try taking the head off this weekend to see what went wrong with cyl 5 that is at 60psi, meanwhile ill keep the parts coming in , tempting to buy secondhand but I know buying quality parts is best for the best results.

got a 44mm tial gate today and have ordered a Plazmaman Plenum too .. be good to drive it again hopefully before xmas, and probably push the RB25 to 340kw this time if all goes well.

Received the plazmaman plenum today, wish I had a hoist, get the head spins . Forget previous post, changed mind again to do RB30 .. got this far, may as well rip it out and on with the RB30.

Hopefully it will be reasonably straightforward, looks like the RB30 block doesn't have knock sensors so I assume I can drill and tap to use the RB25 knock sensors.. will have to read the RB30 threads more. The Plazmaman i'm assuming will solve the bonnet clearance issues.

Yep is has the bosses on the block so just drill and tap them as you said, piece if piss

[AngryRB]

Picked up a new daily,

don't know why these Gen3's cope so much hate, fricken love driving this thing, all I can say is TORQUE!!

Been a while, deciding to follow other peoples path of an unopened RB30 bottem end and slap a neo head on, found a R31 skyline, started it up and she was purring nice so no problem sorted there.. just need slowly source parts and slap together...

Took her out of hibernation, and heads are turning , lol

no updates yet, got to get ass in gear, loving these pics though, looks angry, gotta get shit happening, waiting on $$$ to get this moving feeling motivated though

Really loving the GTR wheels, tough but not over the top, this thing deserves an RB30DET bad lol.... 400kw's long term but will play with GT3076 for a while with it..

Not bad for an old beast, paints held up good

That bloody dog is evil, what's with the first photo in your last post, damn dog's a spirit! I think he's out of Twilight...

[AngryRB]

haha... yeah that's my Black German Shepherd ( big boy), always seems to be in the pic's, he's a good sort, just don't try and open the front gate at night cause he gets pissed off and you wont see it coming haha... id feel sorry for who ever jumps the fence looking to touch the RB in the dark...

Is there much difference between neo head compared to r33 head with tomei cams??? just weighing the cost savings as my head doesn't seem to be getting much interest at the moment so obtaining a neo head then a cas then rewiring it and getting it serviced starts to add up in cost when my R33 head is in perfect condition with tomei cams....

should I stick to getting neo head or will the R33 head just mean it can be tuned with more ignition timing??
