VCT is inlet only on R33 onwards RBs (no RBs prior to that had VCT). RB26 does not have VCT. There are aftermarket kits (HKS VCAM) to add it. It's not +/-20°. Only 20° total. It's activated by throttle % and across an RPM band ending at about 4500-4700 depending on which engine. Those figures are lobe centres, at rest.

Not talking about making custom knuckles. Just some alternative code rings and little brackets for sensors. But I'd look at R33 stuff first, just in case.

Ah, that's not quite true. On all the R chassis cars the suspension design is exactly the same between RWD and AWD cars. Double wishbone (for a flexible enough definition of wishbone). Same upper arms. Same-ish lower arms and uprights. But the lower arms are different between AWD and RWD cars and the uprights are different. As far as I know, it is not feasible to put AWD knuckles onto a RWD front end. I might be wrong about that - but the AWD knuckles are obviously very different, because they have the whole axle thing going on. I do not know if R33 RWD front knuckles will fit onto R32, but there is a very good chance that they will. Worth going to a wreckers and putting them side by side. I was thinking similar to Duncan. Probably best to find a way to fit a sheetmetal code ring somewhere and custom a bracket to hold a sensor.

Keep in mind that both 25 and 25Neo have VCT which swings the cams ~20°. On the Neo, the cam profiles were changed from the vanilla 25 to further improve emissions and fuel consumption, as part of the whole ELEV thing that drove the Neo programme in the first place.

^^This. I was going to say that unless it is one of the 2 or 3 very common conversions, you will have to design and make the adapters.

What!? You mean, he must ....... read the thread? Gasp!

That's the way to do it. One word of caution is not to assume that the flanges are straight and the fitment perfect on any of these cheap dumps. They often require a little f**king about with.

Welcome. The Ghibli is the turbo? You should turbo the 116!

Exhaust Manifold (Absolute) Pressure It's important. It's the opposite of boost. It's what makes the spinamathing chooch.

There is only one word. F U C K

The VQs came at the start of the era when OEMs were staring to use very thin piston rings and other design/spec choices like low ring tension, intended to reduce fuel consumption. Subaru motors got the worst of it, because there's nothing worse than a piston ring design that allows more oil to pass, on a horizontal cylinder.

Original one was probably plated. Clean that with a paste of sodium bicarbonate and an old toothbrush. Then once it is clean and reassembled, give it a good coating with some battery terminal protection spray.

Not the Suzuki ones, surely? That would have to be the shitty Spanish built Opel ones, and if so, no-one would cry if/when they died. That's just natural selection.

This.

Here's not asking about GTRs. He's asking about GTs. They're even rarer. It's not like there's a whole subforum for the NA crap on here!

Superglue? Cable ties? Epoxy putty? The options are endless.

That's "normal" in dealer speak, where they don't want to have to do any warranty work. I never check the oil in my Neo25 in the 10000km between services. If it ever starts using oil, I might be in trouble!

Take off and nuke it from orbit?

My guess is that the retaining clips have broken off.

It's not just higher intake temps. EMAP will go through the roof, which means that your 12 psi of boost = nothing or less.

Not same.

On an upshift, a double clutch is effectively just slowing down the shift, which is the recommended thing to do when your synchros are half f**ked. Just learn to drive the thing sympathetically.

As Ben said. But the main reason for higher pressure rad caps is to sell something to people who think that bigger numbers are better. Although, those same people demand lower temperature thermostats! lolz.

I've quoted the important words. Calculate the volume of the pipework. Now calculate the flowrates involved. Divide one by the other and then double the time for paranoia's sake. Undetectably small amounts of time. You don't have to cut anything to fit a return flow cooler to an R32 if you plan it out and do it right. The smart ones amongst us set it up so that the return pipe runs behind the reo bar (not under the cooler, like most kits). That keeps the whole core out in the breeze, not hiding behind the reo. My whole point is that there is no point wasting money and effort putting in a halfway right SMIC when you're planning to go 25 later anyway. Spending money twice is shitty.

This is funny. It's a Skyline forum. Not a truck forum. Almost no-one here will have ever laid eyes on a KA24. We had them in Navaras (and no-one ever lifts the bonnet on a ute!) and I think we have them in some pox ridden FWD Nissan Shitbox in the early-mid 90s (the Pintara, and its badge engineered Ford clone - and no-one ever lifted the bonnet on one of those either). So, perhaps just go down to the local Jap/Nissan wrecker and see what they have on the shelf? Might take you an hour.
