  1. OK I will keep this as a bit of commentary about what I discover with this build as it seems not many people know or they like to keep the info close.

    Firstly there seems to be a fair amount of misinformation about the lining on the bores. Most places call it Nikasil with is an electroplating process used for motorbikes etc. They can get layers of it and it can be honed etc. More importantly this coating can be re-coated easily by places in Australia. Anyway, the skyline bores are not electroplated, from my understanding it is plasma sprayed which I am guessing is much like metal spraying shafts etc to build them up if they are worn, I see this in the mining industry all the time. 

    Anyway, on the block is numbers 1, 2 or 3 referencing what size your bore is from the factory. In my case it is 222222 but could be any combination of numbers. For the first build of the motor (motor is 40k kms and not hurt) I am going to go with Manley pistons in 2 size to suit standard bore. I am undecided about the rods, Manley or Carillo, probably Carillo. I will also go main studs as I can line bore it no issue. I want to go head studs, unsure if the aged 625 are needed, and more importantly unsure if they will distort the bores slightly as I can't bore or hone the cylinders. I will investigate further.

    I am pulling a head off and bringing it to a guy to see what it flows and see what is needed for 1200 hp, probably not heaps. I am going to run the Kelford 272 cams with this combo.

    If this goes pear shaped and I want to bore the block I will use Darton dry liners. i am not game to go for a full wet sleeve straight up.

    I will post pics as I go.

  2. Hi guys,

    Looking for a bit of a guide. I have a complete R35 GTR that I stripped down, the vr38 has a Samsonas sequential being it backed by a 32 GTR transfer case, 32 GTR with quaife in the back and quaife and albins gear set in the front diff.

    Cut a long story short I have a bit of a build thread on another forum but I'm trying to sort out the parts for my VR38. I already have G25 660 .72 externals for it and I'm looking at approx 1200hp crank maximum on E85.

    My thought process at the moment is

    Carillion rods with carrs

    CP pistons

    ARP main studs?

    Aged 625 ARP head studs

    Kelford 272 cams and springs.

    Motor runs motec m150 and daily dry sump pump but but is tba as I am trying to find some room in the front of this thing. I have a Waterman mech already that I will run this in the back with a cable. 

    My question is do I run pistons on the stock bore and select the correct clearance piston skirt. That is option 1

    Option 2 is run the small dry Darrin liners so it is a simple known quantity with approx standard bore pistons. I like this option also bit is preference 2.

    Option 2 is not what I want and that is to run MID liners. I'm not sure I want to pull that much alloy out of the block.

    If anyone has some experience please give me a hand. Unfortunately I am burning hours designing up custom dry sumps and bell housings for this thing and would like to not reinvent the wheel with this.

    Thanks

  3. Hey I have a pro plug in suit r32 gtr with IO box and e85 ethanol sensor, paid 2450 and is still brand new in the box never been touched, gone different direction with the car willing to let go for few 100 less give me a message on 0403431194

  4. As reference my standard lines were stuffed by a retarded mechanic doing up the banjo bolts so tight that it crushed the banjos. I run braided lines coolant and oil and have no issue.

    I can't really see how u will have excess pressure considering the drain is so large, there is no way pressure would build up in the core of the turbo wit a hole the size of the drain there.

    Also you don't need to hook up coolant lines I have left them off before on some set ups.

    Cheers

  5. Pretty sure I have them at home but I won't be there for 12 days to check GTR inner guards that is

    please empty your inbox so i can pm you cheers

    Give it a go now I should have emptied it, but I am doing this from my phone app so it is more difficult.

    150,000 km after $2400. Removed turbos etc already and injectors. Everything else is there.

    Comp test

  8. So much crazy talk happening here, de-comp plates what the hell, it is in reality a pretty straight forward build.

    If they have machined off too much then a thicker gasket could indeed fix you problem, with out measuring everything I couldn't tell you what you need. Have the CC'd your combustion chambers? If we had that information and the cc of the dome in your pistons we could at least then try to work out the comp ratio. As far as the pistons hitting valves you will need to dummy assemble the motor with some Plasticine and turn the motor over, dissect it and then measure the piston to valve clearances.

    Sounds like a recipe for disaster if this has come from your "engine builder"
