Had my the 34 a couple years now and been wanting to upgrade to a det. Well last week my brother inlaw offered me a rb 30 with a reconditioned 25det head. But coz I want it real bad and he’s giving me a mad deal I’m gunna take it off his hands when I can get over to his( not any time soon) was wondering if someone would be good guy or girl and give me a list of everything I will need to insert this into my 34 and all the parts I’m going to need please. I’m new to this sort of thing and would like to get in and learn how this is done hands on.

Most people will say you need a turbo car to start with but in any case if you have lots of time do the reading first. Read through some build threads and read the RB30 PDF which you will find at the top of the forced induction section. As a minimum you are going to need some better brakes,  transmission,  suspension, an aftermarket computer so just because you are getting the engine cheap it won't be a cheap project. Does the engine come with manifolds, injectors, turbo?  There is no quick answer...there are pages of info in this site and when you have done reading  you may be left with some questions but do the research first.

Cheers bro @KiwiRS4T nah it doesn’t come with manifold turbo and injectors. This project going to take me a year at least. But your right I have a lot more research to do. Thanks for your input man.

And @Ben C34 got more spanners than I do skin on my knuckles lol.

cheers guys

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
