I say go with an RB30E + T, it would be far more driveable in everyday driving, I think it would probably be better in the hills with extra torque compared to a bit of extra breathing ability and I'd have to think it would be far cheaper and just as reliable as an RB25 at the power levels you're after

I am sick of the power that the car has got now i want easy 13 sec quatermile. I am happy with that so what ever it takes i wont say no if it goes quicker but it must be very reliable. i hate cars that have had all this money spent and they live in a work shop.

rb30det seems logical. Is there such a thing as a RB30et anyway?

RB30e Block rebuilt with a RB25DET VVT head on it would be the way to go i reckon. It is a very debateable topic...

I've attached a RB30DET build guide.

How many rb25's blow up their ringlands at 250rwkw, vs rb30's that still have stock internals that survive at that power?

why is it that the top few spots of the r31 club have 100% STOCK rb30E bottom ends, except for a rb25 with forgies and gtr rods that can't even make top spot on c16 and semi's :angry: hehe

dunno who was using c16 and semi's... but it certainly wasnt me :)

And there are plenty making 250rwkw these days on stock RB25 (more actually)

Beats having to spend $$$$ on lots on SOHC head work :blink:

And what does the r31 club time have to do with it again?

Ifwe wanna get technical we can

was just some tongue in cheek stirring, nothing meant by it, i acutlaly thought u used c16 for that time, my bad.

the point with the r31 times was just an example that rb30E bottom end is just as strong and can take just as much power. im sure there are examples both ways however.

i have a RB30E+T, its done 200,000k's, gives me 10L/100k's fuel economy, has shit loads of torque and makes ~160rwkw everyday.

both motors are reliable, and ull make your 180rwkw on stock turbo/injectors, the only real difference is slight cost difference, and the feel of the motor

go for a drive in both and see which u like, the torque of the 30, or the revabilitly of the 25.

I would recommmend the RB25DET I have one fitted in my R31 using a turbo of a VG30DETT which I believe is the same size as standard just Ball Bearing running 14psi it makes 183 kw's at the wheels and I have run a best of 13.3 over the 1/4 @103MPH using cheap street tyres(TRX Rims for racing 17's for the street) my car weighs about 1400 kgs. For reliability I have been running that boost level for the last 18 months(54,000kms) since I purchased the car and it has not missed a beat once.

I have been to 2 Powercruise events each one consisted of 4 days(ECR). Drag Combat twice (WSID) and about 5 or 6 Street meets (WSID). all that plus I drive the car everyday to and from work which is about 400+ kms a week and I get just over 400kms to a tank of fuel.

: ) hope this helps somewhat with your decision

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
