  1. I think my first post was a little confusing. I didnt use an RB30 block. I bent some valves. Rather than replace the valves, I replaced the entire head with one that I was saving for a different build.

  2. It is a stock R32 RB26 block. The manifolds are R32. I have replace the head, cams, and cas with parts from an R34 RB26. The head was rebuilt by a very experienced head builder. I rewired the cas plug to suit the R34 cas. I used a new oem head gasket. I also put in head studs while the head was off.

    It's probably not relevant, but I also has an R34 crank, oil pump, and turbos installed. These upgrades were done a few years ago, and shouldn't have any effect.

    I think that covers everything!

  3. Here is the back story:

    I had the timing belt tensioner stud break while the engine was running. My engine had a few bent valves as a result.


    I had a freshly rebuilt R34 head sitting on the shelf that I was saving for an RB30 build. It found its way into my R32. I used the R34 cams and swapped the R34 cas too.



    The problem:

    It only makes about 1/2 the boost that it should. It also sounds odd. It sounds like the timing is wrong.


    Is there a difference between the R32 and R34 timing marks? Do I need to remap for the R34 head and cams? Or something else?

  4. It's been a while since I've posted about my car. I blew my stock motor. So I bought a cheap 2nd (or 3rd (or 4th)) hand motor. The replacement rb20 came with Tomei cams and a rb25 turbo.

    I decided that rb20 just isn't giving me enough. So I found a new toy that I will be dropping in: (sorry for the grainy pic)

  5. hahahahhahahah - well at least the poorly fitting R33 dash solves the cracked passenger airvent surround!!!! amirgiht?amiright?

    ....wait..

    ..

    ...am i still allowed to make that joke?

    Do you have pics of an r33 dash in a cef? I'm curious to see exactly how bad it fits..

  6. One more thing...the Ceffy with the supposed GTR fuel pump, had a pressure rego in the cradle, but the project one with a factory pump setup didnt....possibly a GTR cradle+pump both used ?

    I'm using a GTR pump in mine right now. It has a rego on the top of the pump, not on the cradle.

    I dont think you have a GTR Cradle. In R32/R33 GTRs (all GTRs?) the cradle is not part of the lid/sender assembly, it is mounted to the bottom of the tank.

    Be careful if you use hose clamps to attach the pump to the cradle. I think I tightened mine too tight and squeezed/ruined the pump. It started whining, so I tightened it, and it got worse. :down:

  7. Are you sure youre loosening them?

    The aircon tensioner pulley should move UP as you loosen it. You might even want to take the bolt all the way out.

    The PS pump should rotate down and towards the motor. You may have to loosen the mounting bolts and push/pry on it to get it to move.

    My dad told me this once: Somehow someone put that belt. You should be able to get it off.

  8. S13 is no good. It's about 6cm too long and fouls on the bottom of the tank.

    I'm going to try to cut/weld mine to fit, but it will be a few weeks before I get around to it.

    A32,B14,B15,D22,N15,etc all have the same bolt pattern for the lid, maybe one of those would be a closer fit...?
