Preperation Required Rb30 Block For 3.2 Stroker Build

[Nismo 3.2ish]

What has to be done to the RB30 block to fit the Nitto 3.2 stroker with a 2.6 head

How long would the work take using a professional

[Duncan]

4wd or 2wd? 4wd is trickier as the oil pick up has to be moved to clear the front drive shaft in the sump

For 2wd presumably nothing is required; or rather it depends on what you want done beyond a basic clean and hone, same as any other build.

[r32-25t]

Isn't this something your engine builder should already know?

[XKLABA]

Yeah, just let CRD worry about it, they have done it many times before and will do it many times again

To actually fit the Nitto 3.2 to a RB30 block is a bore and hone and a line bore for the crank and assemble, many inlarge the head bolt holes to 12mm, i didn't do that as not 100% neccasary, what takes time is as Duncan said getting it to suit the 4WD application

[Nismo 3.2ish]

I am just trying to get an idea of what has to be done and how long will it take to have the block modified for a R34GTR, the car has been in the shop for 3 weeks and has not been touched.

It was booked in 4 months ago, all of the parts were at the shop 3 months ago and paid for, so I am just a bit disappointed that I took the car in when I could have been driving it, but I should not be too surprised after reading many build threads, I am just not used of dealing with performance shops and they seem to work on lots of cars at the same time.

It is like being a kid again and waiting for Xmas

[XKLABA]

I think that is poor form, they can quite easily build the bottom end ready for you to bring car in, transfer oil pump water pump, fit 4WD adaptor and sump and head then put back in car

It's why I don't pay in full before car is done, half yeah sure but never full cause what incentive have they got to finish it if they have been fully paid already

[Nismo 3.2ish]

I was going to give them more $s but I could not get an answer to my emails and thought stuff you!

There is a shit load with the drive line, Transfer case mods, Quaife front diff and the Clutch to be done.

He said it is motor work time next week, whatever that meant, I thought that was their main work, haha

Stuff it, my kids are out so I think I will head to the restaurant and sit on my ever increasing fat and let the look after me

[Nismo 3.2ish]

I have to say they have done everything they said on 2 other occasions and probably will do it again, they are pretty nice blokes there, it is just so frustrating waiting and nothing seems to be getting done

[Nismo 3.2ish]

Isn't this something your engine builder should already know?

Sure, it is something "they" know,BUT "I" don't?

These questions have nothing to do with my build, I would just like to get an idea from some of you blokes that have been doing this for a long time and have done it first hand or been able to see it as it was being done

I look at these motors with all of the electronics and everything else and it makes my head hurt and I understand just how good these blokes are.

I know from making things if you are in a workshop with all right men for different jobs, plus all of the professional tools and machinery it is SO much easier than stuffing around trying to do the same thing at home by yourself, no matter how good you are.

If a workshop has all of the parts needed to do a complete stroker build,pull the motor out, parts out to be machined and back in, how long would that take.

In my case,there is the driveline , clutch, mods to trannie and a quaife front diff to be fitted. I would imagine doing all of this at the same time would save time while the motor is out?

I figured that if the total build could not be done within a month , 240 odd hours in a specialized workshop, there is something wrong .

I know they work on other cars during the same period, but what if they did not and had an open go at it. A week or 2 if they had priority on getting outside work done?

Tap hole for new idler.

5 minutes

Mod oil pickup.

10 minutes?

[Nismo 3.2ish]

haha, thats going to eat up the hours,days and weeks

[Nismo 3.2ish]

Surely there is more to it than that?

How long for a build under normal conditions or is that like asking how long is a piece of string.

[Ben C34]

Actually there might be clearancing for the stroker crank, but that's typical for a stroker build.

The 2 things I listed are the only additional things to building it as an rb2630, aside from the mods to make it fit, adaptor plate, slot bell housing, slot engine mounts, modify dump pipe, turbo oil drain, maybe cooler pipework.

How long a build takes depends on how much other stuff they are doing....

apart from the Nitto 3.2 stroker, there is a bit of head work,head relief for the cams, OS valves and clean it up a bit.

But doing driveline work.

If they do this work as good as the other mods they did for me I will be very happy and I know they are proud of what they do and expect nothing but the best from their blokes there

I just did not expect to be this impatient, I cannot wait to get it back

[Nismo 3.2ish]

Here we are 5 weeks since I put my car in for the work and it sits there getting a nice coat of dust,haha

The Fn block is still not ready !

I believe this is a normal situation in the world of Mods, don't like it very much

[Sinista32]

5 weeks - Pffft !

Unless your very special then you have several more months to wait.

Time and Money It's never what you were expecting/quoted.

Have you ever had a house built ? If you have I bet that was ready at least 3 months after you were expecting.

Sinista = Sinister I think, thanks for that I feel much better knowing that, haha

I think I liked it better being treated like a mushroom.

I am special, if they take too long I might drop dead and they will not get paid, lol

My Build took 9 months. Expect to wait a lot longer man.

[Nismo 3.2ish]

Oh Fark!

I would rather go and pick the car up if that was the case, BUT unlike you sceptical blokes , I have faith in them

Tony, Tried to get a better look at your donk but cannot open the photos up ?
