i have heard that you can also fit rb20de heads.. i saw one on the NZ trademe auction site. you could put a lumpy cam in if you want to keep it single cam. but going twin cam will give you a good increase in power and it will pull higher up in the rpms

i suggest you get the bores checkd out when you take the head off. you could spend the $$ and get it rebuilt then you would know its reliable

rb20 head also fits, but its a mission apparently - alot of work required and not worth it. (there's a few threads in the forced induction section having arguements about the pros/cons of an RB20 head)

don't fit a rb20det, whatever u do.

if your poor just basic mods to the rb30, exahust, extractors, twin tb/xf throttle body, intake, should see a couple more kw's.

if u got money, bolt on a vl-t conversion, or drop in a rb25det, don't waste your money on a rb20det.

175,000k's is NOTHING on rb30e, it will be hardly even run in yet

pod filter??

haha, have a look on R31 skyline club. from what ive been told by a few people, is that when you put on the stock VLT kit, its nothing special at all compared to the NA Rb30 with some basic work done to it. id say make it a na monster or put in a 20/25.

there are so many possibilities and the potential is enormus, depends on what you want from the car!

    • I believe mine is helical and not clutch type. During drifting one wheel was spining as if it was open diff so bought kazz 1.5 way and has sat on my shelf for the past 5 years as I want to learn shiming process and do it myself   in meantime thought I change the diff oil hence post here. So any 75-90?   i am pretty sure r34 are helical not clutch lsd as standard . That is gtt ones
    • Throw between gears are so much that is getting annoying. I have pro short shifter on my mx5 and e36 and love it . Skyline is getting unbearable    would syncro issues and short shifter is no no? Anyone mind explaining a little on why before i buy cube
    • No. Well, some people "seem to use redline shockproof in the diff". Most do not. I would only contemplate it if you have badly worn CW&P gears. And no. No-one in their right mind has ever put ATF into a diff. Any normal diff/gear oil of the right viscosity will do. Whatever takes your fancy. Castrol, Nulon, Penrite, Redline MT range. Whatever. It's just gears. 75W-90 or 80W-90 is typical. I think that GL-5 is hard to avoid these days, although I think that a GL-4 is probably preferred, given the vintage of the equipment. At least Redline offer a number of GL-4 oils. If you have a clutch type LSD instead of the VLSD, then of course you need a proper LSD oil. Anything from any of the same names above. If you have a helical LSD, then it does not require LSD oil, and the recco is the same as for the VLSD. You don't want the LSD friction modifiers in the oil for a non-clutch type LSD if you can avoid it.  
    • You may want to list it up for a little higher - This price is much lower than you may realize. Here you're pretty much selling to people who most likely already have these things on their own rigs. S chassis people eat this stuff up like you'd not believe.
    • I had my car for over 10 years and done around few thousand miles but never changed the oil. thinking of changing it.   what brand and viscocity would you put in ? people seem to use redline shockproof in the diff   on  contraty seen others using atf dexron 2 or 3 so wanted to check. is it 1 liter?
