hi this may sound like a stupid question to all of you skyline enthusiats, but i was wondering what the diffrence bettween a gtr long motor and a gtr short motor is, i am planning to do a rb30/rb26 conversion in my car, ive got 3 rb30's to choose from.. so i was wondering if either the long or short motors will fit the rb30 or it wont matter at all... just need some more info before i get started....

also which one is the better of the two....

cheers

As said already, short motor is usually just the block with pistons and all that in it, and long motor means it comes with a head etc...

You should speak to whoever will be putting the engine together for you - they should be able to help you out - I'm assuming you're going to put a RB26 head on an RB30 bottom end.

3 stages of motors as I see it. 1) short is from sump to top of the block. 2) Long is sump to top of engine (rocker covers). 3) is a COMPLETE engine, which is from fan to flywheel and includeds injectors and manifolds (but not necessarily the turbo/s).

If you have 3 RB30's Stirlo may be interested in one :D and Daniel (s13drifter) has the conversion kit for the RB26 head to the RB30 block into a gtr.

    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
