Hey all, I'm bored at work so I figured I'd make a little build thread to document my new 32.

Here's how it sits currently (Got new black plates though which look 1001234500101 times better)

M-spec side skirts and rear pods

Rear roof lip

Car was tuned by no other than DVS JEZ who managed to pull 307kws on about 18psi outta her

When I first bought the car I was a little concerned about running this sorta power on a daily but my mate I bought it off had been doing so for over half a year with no problems at all and I trust him and I trust Jez's tune.

But fuuuuuk she was a beast to drive.

So when I first picked her up the speedo didn't work due to the 25 box in it so I went ahead and ordered myself a new navara speedo drive from my parts guy at work, went and bought a little blow torch from bunnings and within the week , voila speedo!

Brought it into my workshop a few weeks after owning it and did a full service on it pretty much, tried out a 15/50 nulon fully synthetic, genuine nissan filters, gearbox and diff oil. About a month later I assumed the 25 in her would be pretty much on 100k, so apart she goes, new timing belt, tensioner and idler in, new coolant and she was swell. Should have taken more pictures.

But I blacked everything whilst it was apart

Then one day it started smoking when it came on boost, like bad.. filling the cabin suffocating smoke bad.. I checked the oil and coolant levels and the oil smelled like burnt dick so I figured I'd change it and try another oil to see if it made a difference. Sort of toned it down a little, sort of. But then I took it out for a drive that night, hit boost going up a hill in 3rd, started sounding like a harley, spat the dip stick, spat oil everywhere, game over hahaha.

So currently in the process of sourcing a new 25 to go in it as I just want a quick and easy fix cause I want it back on the road ASAP and dont have time to mess around building it and shit, I am just that stubborn.

Got a box of presents the other day, just building up the things I'll need when this I pick this new engine up.

Just got a genuine oil filter, spark plugs and a new nismo reinforced clutch brake, as mine is held in place with rivets and is bent sideways which pulls the speedo cable out of the cluster if you aren't careful, which is annoying. Looks to be a really back breaking job that I dont really look forward to.

      Rb26/30 build

      By Butters · Posted

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.

      lol no cats running str pipes … might put the high flow back on but I suspect it might effect my ignition timing a bit.
