The RB30 is a 3ltr, the 3ltr from the R31 Skyline or VL Commodore. Not a 2.8ltr.

The 2.8ltr stroker kit is bought from japan from Jun.

Sky30 used a second hand running 270,000km's RB30, dropped it in his R32 GTST bolted on a R32 RB25DE head and off he went - Very side ways.... :(

$$ - What ever a second hand RB30e and r32 rb25de head costs, + a few gaskets and the modification of engine mounts. ~$70 if you pay some one to do it.

If you are a little mechanically minded the job can be done for rather cheap.

mmm, i'm only up to just over $3000 and thats everything major new and reconditioned! Can't beat the rb30 for value and bang for buck, thats for sure!

wait till the injectors max out, the fuel pump shits it, the afm is too small, the std turbo is too small, the exhaust needs to be free flowing, the exhaust manifold sucks, the cams will be played with at some point, the pfc is installed (then tuned with a datalogit - u will need to do this), then when u think you have finished upgrading the gearbox will go, the rear subframe will now flex on its old mounts, and finally the tyres that you classed as expensive will be a must because there is no way the torque will get put to the ground.....

Thats about 9k (being conservative)....

But the actual motor is a cheap job..... :lol:

sky30 has addressed this issue. lol.

$50 your engine cost.. thats insane. Such a pitty I didn't go that route.

The price that was paid is between Andrew and i if you

wish to know private message andrew and he will tell

you if he so wishes to.

There is a new line in the future but this is at least 12

months away yet. for now i will be buying a brand new

nissan Pulsar to get around in, then hopefully a 34 in 1 to 2

years time.

Hope you all had a nice christmas.

Have a good one guys and girls.

i know exactly what u mean but included in that figure was the turbo, injectors and fuel pump which i already have, but we'll let everyone think its too hard and expensive to do so that no more 32's do this conversion! hehe!

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
