  4. Gday Paul, im interested in the boost control kit, from what i know these kits are relatively generic but i just wanted to make sure it will suit 32/33gtr power fc dejetro. also wanted to send my apreciation for your website its a fantastic resource, particually for me as im just starting out in fc world. cheers
  5. gday mate any chance you still have the rb26 camshafts. cheers
  6. yeah your right i think a head pull is the next step i was trying to avoid it (hence the post and if anything else might be the prob) but have pulled it down as far as having cams out and didnt find anything that was likely to be the issue but because it was so over a year ago that it happened i put it back together to relearn the noise etc, and also rule out some of the simple things. thanks for the advice
  7. thanks its on the list of things to do
  8. i havent looked for gasket leakes, what are you thinking might be the issue
  9. Thanks, when you say cam belt bearings, do you mean the cam belt tensioners, i never thought of them being an issue because they are new, but doesnt mean they havent failed i will check it out thanks.
  10. Hi, firstly can i say congrats to administrators for giving people like me access to such a great resouce such as this forum. righto to the problem. The rb26 in my r32 gtr has developed a knocking noise starting at 2200-2400RPM and increases in noise intensity to 3000RPM. At idle the engine there is no miss, no noise showing no sign of a fault. I have changed oil, pulled out the cams, compressed each valve individually and put it all back together to eliminate any issues with cam timing however the noise is still there. The noise was first noticed after doing several 1/4 mile runs on the g-tec. I had a wideband installed during the runs to ensure mixtures were ok as the engine had been rebuilt about 2000km's before (by myself). The turbo's were running standard boost. There was no noticable noise to indicate a failure, the noise was only noticed when i left to go home. the noise is a solid noise at 3000 almost sounds like it is in the inlet side of the head. I havent yet changed the cam timing to ensure it is not valve knock. The engine turns over by hand fine with no noticable issues. On inspection of the cams there was no noticible sign of an issue, aside from a wear mark on no 6 exhaust base circle but checked clearances and was fine. i have heard big end knock before (the reason for the rebuild) and i dont believe it is the issue. The list of mods for stage one - JE forged pistons, - ARGO rods with arp bolts, - Jun oil pump, - Calico coated main and big end bearings, - Tomeii cams type B and valve springs, - Tomeii head and manifold gasket set, - Aftermarket split dumps, - Garrett GT2560 turb's - new r33 crank - head oil restrictor - tomeii sump baffle - modded oil return line to sump - turbo blankets and manifolds heat wraped - Ross Harmonic balancer - ARP head and mains studs and bolts if anyone has come across this issue before and knows what it may be can you please enlighten me as it has me puzzled mostly due to the inconsistancy of starting at 2200 ie a valve knock would be heard at idle, so too would a big end failure. I am maybe thinking it might be an issue with a peice of ancillary equipement on the engine - not explored. thankyou for any future help.
  11. hey mate wondering if you han a powersteering pump available cheers
  12. Hi, I’m currently in the process of an rb26 build which has taken nearly three years to get to the stage I have. I was looking to install the oil cooler which also has the oil filter mount; temp and pressure sensors mount to it. The problem I think I have is that I believe that there should be a dowel (to give it a name) that screws into the block and seals with the O ring of the on the inside of the cooler. I’m pretty sure this would send the oil into the filter. I’m guessing this component would have been removed when the block was hot dipped. As it has been a while since it was it the machine shop and i cant find it amongst my parts and I’m not sure if it exists, so i was hoping that somebody might be able to confirm that a part exists and might know were i may be able to source a new part. Thanks
