Along with agreeing with the recommendations above to ask your local rego authority, I would do this. Cut out original panel segment with the number stamped in it. Keep it. Make new panel with same number stamped in it looking exactly the same as the Nissan stamps. If anyone asks, show them the original panel and the photos of you cutting it out of the same car and holding it next to the new panel being welded in and the photos of you holding it next to the new stamps being done.

It should logically only come one when the fog lights are turned on, which is always on a separate switch. That's kinda the definition of fog lights. If your car doesn't have the switch, it likely doesn't have the factory foglight option .

Sadly, I looked at Amayama and Kudos and couldn't see any. Then I lost interest.

No. Absolutely not. For a start, the turbo has a 4" inlet. The Z32 is a major restriction, which is not recommended. Next, the Z32 is a bad choice for an AFM in the era of modern blade style AFMs. Just get an R35 and a suitable sized tube (preferably 3.5") and set it up in Nistune. And, obviously, you should fabricate a 4" intake and do something about opening up the hole in the airbox. The injectors are fine. I'm willing to bet that the dump that suits the stock turbo does not suit Tao's big bolt ons.

The latter quote happens more with short shifters. it is a proven fact. More synchros have died at the hands of clowns slamming gears with their hella epic short shifter (TM) than almost any other driving style.

Google translate on your phone can use the camera to translate the Kanji on the wiring diagrams.

Because Ben doesn't think that anyone will ever completely dismantle an RB25DE R32 and do a complete inventory of the bolts, which is the only way you're going to get that list at this point in time.

Yes. Why wouldn't it be? It's also possible to swap in a 1976 Volvo 144 motor, a Cummins diesel V8, various rotaries, any number of Italian 4 cylinder engines and maybe even a Jaguar V12.

Lotsa $ to buy new hydraulic lifters. You need 24 of the buggers. I have a Neo, so I am biased towards solid lifters. But it's also lotsa $ to go solids in a vanilla RB head. So you pick your poison. I haven't used these cams, but Kelfords stuff in general is excellent. However, I don't know if it is worth the pain of the head clearancing work for just the little extra lift. If I was going to cut the lifter bores, I'd be wanting to do it for 10.5mm or more.

Keep in mind that short shifters are, as a rule, f**king stupid. They are unpleasant to use, lead to synchro wear. Stock is best.

Weirdest choice of hotrod engine ever?

Max revs less a function of the cam itself and more a function of the hydraulic lifters. The springs will "enable" more revs that the stock springs would, with these cams installed. The cams will flow more air above 7500 rpm than the stock cams will. So the head will want to run to higher rpm. It's just that the lifters are the same, and unless you put new ones in there their actual behaviour is hard to predict. With new lifters, because hydraulic, you'd probably not be looking to run more than 8000rpm anyway.

No. No reason at all. Unless you like wasting money. Just buy a new centre to suit the open diff. The differences are in the half shafts. They are all different lengths between the different standard diff types. Open = different lengths to VLSD = different lengths to the GTR mechanical LSD. So when you buy a Kaaz or Giken or Cusco centre for an open diff, it is slightly different to the same diff intended to replace a VLSD centre, because the splines are located differently. The new centre has to work with the half shaft lengths that you have.

For fuxsake! We're talking about a $20 item here. Just buy the f**king thing and find out.

Drive across to the UK and get a hydraulic workshop from a more liberal regime to do it for you!

No, you cannot just take the yoke from the uni joint on one and replace the same piece on the other. It will be the wrong length (even if the uni joints are compatible, which I'd assume they are not). You have to take the front half of the R33 tailshaft and the front half of the R32 tailshaft to be cut and shut together. You end up with a front half of tailshaft where the front end suits the gearbox and the back is R32. In order to do this successfully, you need a measurement of how long the resulting front piece needs to be, because it's not the same as either the R32 or R33 piece. If you go to Hardy-Spicers almost anywhere in Australia they have done so many of these that they already know what length you need. Otherwise you will need to very carefully measure the required length from the back of the gearbox to the centre CV joint, allowing for movement of the spline in the gearbox. Are you talking about the gearbox crossmember? There are 3 of these commonly found in these Nissans, with various gearboxes. Marked A, B and C. You will need one of them. I think, because you're starting with an auto, you might even get lucky and need the one you already have. But if it won't work, just go to the wreckers and buy and/or borrow the other 2, with a promise to return the one you don't end up needing.

The shifter certainly won't They are completely different gearboxes. As to the wiring plugs....the wiring is part of the car. All you need to do is make the connections. If the plugs are different, get the right plugs. My car has has an auto, an 20DET manual (and a 25DE manual) and a 25DET manual in it. I think I had to change the plugs on at least one of the switches on at least one of those conversions. It's not rocket science.

It's been 8 years now, ~80000km, and no change in shift quality on my box from the first time it managed to change gears with smurf's blood in it. Yes. I bought it for Neo my engine conversion and it changed gears nicely when not spinning, but would not while the engine ran. Changed to lightweight and it would change gears straight away. I can never understand the "kill this" mentality. I bet you I could happily drive your gearbox for the next 10 years.

I have lightweight in my box. When it was first installed it would not shift with the engine running at all (with normal gear oil). Redline brought it back. Of course, as a consequence of owning an ALFA for many years, I also know how to manage a baulky gearbox. Learning to drive properly >> bandaid fixes & snakebloods.

Here is an EFR 83mm turbo, the 8374. https://www.full-race.com/store/borg-warner-efr/turbos-efr-series/borgwarner-efr-8374-turbo-2/ The bottom end of that turbo's range is in the 500HP (engine) region. Can make a lot more. Here is an EFR 91mm turbo, the 9180. http://www.turbos.borgwarner.com/files/pdf/dimensional_reference/efr/EFR%209180-C.pdf Obviously the 9180 is ~20% bigger than the 8374. These things work at really high pressure ratios. I just pitched you big turbo sizes because you're talking about a 3L twin cam. It is a decent sized engine that can definitely drive a big turbo. But if you don't think you will be needing to go near 800+ engine powers, then smaller options make sense. There are many smaller EFRs. The Garret G series has lots of options too. The latest gen GTX turbos are still worth a look. Even BW SX turbos are good for more crude (and a bit cheaper) applications. One thing you will have to pay attention to is the inlet and outlet style and size on the exhaust side (no point buying a T4 flanged turbo if you have a T3 manifold, for example), and whether you need to add one or more big external wastegates. Another thing to think abotu is that a proper twin-scroll turbine inlet and manifold is the very best idea. Not all of these turbos offer all these things at all sizes. You will have to pick what is most important to you and live with the compromises. You could also get a Turbo from Hypergear here in Oz. He will have something that will do the job for you. Very "offbrand", but decent gear nonetheless. Much better than that horrible Turbonetics thing.

You want at least an 84mm turbo, maybe even a 91. Big one from the EFR range, or Garrett G series. What is your power target?

I'm trying to work out if the spool being discussed belongs in the diff or not.

No, it has to have "E Brake Handle Brake Drift Spin Turn Knob Lock Button" in the description.

What? Nismo are the same shit as that Sard shit. Bosch, Denso, Siemens et al have all been producing newer design injectors over the 20 years since those Sards were state of the art (if they ever were). Any Bosch EV14 based injector is going to be a millions times better. Shit, even an EV6 based injector will be nearly 2 decades newer tech. There are hundreds of vendors selling EV14 or equivalent Denso (and other manufacturers) injectors with conversion plugs, rail spacers, and flow matched sets. Here's just one example in Australia, at Goleby's https://www.golebysparts.com.au/products/rb26-bpp-fuel-rail-kit-bosch-1000cc-injectors-fpr800-fuel-regulator?variant=31930369081453
