Can you source more than one Apexi turbo, if so one may suit my needs??? Could you PM me a price??

As for the VCT, as i understand it the RB25DE head does not use the VCT, which is the reason a lot of people use these heads as it simplifies the process a little.

I have read that the VCT can be used with the RB30 bottom end as mentioned above by tapping into oil pressure line.

People have used the RB20DET ECU to run a non VCT RB25/30 engine , but if you want to use the VCT it means aftermarket ECU, or maybe OE R33 with Power FC.

I understand that they use the same stud diameter but ive heard different people tell different tales about oil and water lines. Either way budget some $$$ for this and have it done when you have the block drilled and tapped for the new timing belt.

As for not worth the money, well if insurance and rego wasnt as issue i would be building an RB25/30. Even if your not chasing huge HP, extra 500cc help spool up larger turbos & plenty of locally developed perfromance parts for RB30 bottom. Hell you dont even really have to run aftermarket rods and pistons to make a lazy 250kws at the treads. Use a 6000rpm readline with 1bar of boost from a large turbo. Just make sure you use decent bearings, rod bolts etc, and have the OE stuff x-rayed and balanced/linished etc.

There are plent of VLs using 12 valve head making far more power then this and running in the low 10s and high 9s, some of the 10-11sec cars use std internals.

Look no further then the Sammut Bros old 300ZX drag car that ran an RB30, i recall it even beat Victor Bray one year. Dont know extent of mods though! Nizpro also has a long list of 9-11 sec streetable VLs.

what gearbox and diff do they use? cos i'm sure a standard skyline box and diff wouldn't hack much more than 300kw at the treads... especially not with a few hard launches!

does the VCT make that much of a difference when talking RB30DET? Where would you notice the power difference, bottom or top end?

Thanks

      Rv37 400r questions

      By elir32 · Posted

      Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance

      Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
