    You perhaps need to explain what you mean by "hit the redline" and "turns off". Does it hit your rev limiter and stall while the throttle is still open? Or does it stop after you close the throttle for a gear change? If the former, then god knows. If the latter........it's reversion. Put the recirc back on it or change to an R35 style AFM

    Entrained air is not dissolved air. The fraction of any entrained air that will actually dissolve into engine oil at the sorts of pressures we're talking about here is what? 1%? 2%? So even if it was an unrealistic number like 10%, that still leaves 90% of any entrained oil staying as entrained bubbles, not dissolved into the oil and therefore not affected by any attempt to use an ever so slightly larger restrictor orifice to ever so marginally increase the static pressure in the length of the orifice to ever so slightly affect the tiny amount of air that may or may not spontaneously spring out of the oil. Talk about finding a way to confuse the conversation. I hereby re-inforce my earlier statement that I cannot believe that OEM engineers would choose to increase the diameter of an oil flow restrictor by 0.25mm or any similar amount just for that purpose. I would strongly suggest that all your palaver about sump design being important for preventing air entrainment into the oil is about the sump and the oiling system overall. Prevention being more important than the (imagined) cure.

    The high fuel consumption is a function of large vehicle mass, small engine, brickwall aerodynamics and Nissan's rich mixtures under load. I would suggest that if you're fixated on the old Stagea shape then one with a Neo25 in it would be smarter than the 260RS. The GTR motor is not the best match for the higher weight of the Stag.

    Do you seriously maintain that Nissan engineers calculated the size of the restrictors in the head oil supply to expressly keep dissolved gases in the liquid? Really? That's bizarre. Show me an SAE paper where that has been proposed as a mechanism to counter this (I think non-existent) problem.

    Legroom would have to be tragic. I am 6'5" with long legs rather than long body and I drive an R32 coupe. Stageas are an odd thing. I tend to think that the distribution of quality of them out there will be very bimodal. There will be very good ones, very bad ones, and not too many in between. Find one that's been owned in Oz by one person for a long time and looked after and you will likely get the best outcome. If you buy one that's been through 5 owners, it will be full of bodgy shit mods and mysterious service/repairs.

    What's your point/question? The one in the bag clearly looks like it's bigger than either of the 2 in the block. This is why god invented round feeler gauges.

    You don't nee drear calipers (I've seen your other thread) for skids. In fact, not having them will facilitate our request!

    That 3 pin plug sticking out of the rubber boot is the back of the globe holder. It has a spring clip to hold it in the housing and accepts the globe pushed in from the front side of it (when it is removed from the housing, obviously enough).

    f**k me! The stupid in this thread breaks all the boundaries.
  10. GTSBoy
    Correct. + the internal parts (shifter sealing boot, console trim,). Probably need to either put the manual gearbox side loom back in or unf**k whatever was done the original one.
  11. GTSBoy
    Have you got the globe holders? Not much good without them. Otherwise they just go where any other 32GTR headlight went.
  12. GTSBoy
    That's interesting. There's less going on inside there than I might have imagined. From experience with trying to make similar things have decent distribution, I thought they might have some lumps and bumps on the floor &/or roof.

    Plenty have done it and plenty say it's fine. Many of those engines may have died, and you wouldn't hear about it if the plenum distribution was to blame because then the person who claimed it was fine would have proven themselves wrong. But....I must stress, I don't know that it's not fine. I only have very strong suspicion that it's not, because those plenums are not set up to receive air for all 6 cylinders from the front end. The internal shapes are set up to receive it from the side. I'm enough of an aerodynamicist to be very leery of that. And I have never seen anyone report on 6x EGT probe results showing that it is fine. On that basis, I simply wouldn't do it. I'd be less worried about the various large plenums that bolt onto the bottom half, because at least they are simply big arse volumes on top of the runners, with no odd internal shapes to interfere.

    I'm in two minds about this. But my paranoid mind is winning and suggests that you dun f**ked up and you'd better get another shell. I don't like the idea of a sharp edged hole in the coating.

    I think if you left a freshly restored 510 in a climate controlled shed next to an unrestored AE86 the Nissan would still find a way to rust faster.

    Depends on how big the bullet is. But, I guess the answer is a qualified yes.

    Legislating for stupidity doesn't make it right.

    Sandwich plate is the key to box strength. It cuts down on the flex in the housings that allow gears to change position relative to each other, etc etc blah blah yada yada.

    The Nissan.

    Autronic SMC is quite old. But it was a top notch ECU in its day, rivalling Motec for quality and capability. Your only real issue will be whether there is someone comfortable with tuning it. You might have to do a little research.
  21. GTSBoy
    Nope. Brembo caliper 324mm rotors are only 30mm thick.
  22. GTSBoy
    The R34 TCU is in the ECU. And that's fine, because it doesn't matter - it will run a manual trans engine happily. You're going manual right? Because if you're not, punch yourself in the face and start again. If you use the R34 ECU you WILL want to get Nistune installed in it, because you will want to kill the error codes caused by not having the right ABS and TCS systems installed in the car. And you WILL want to tune it. All of which, happily, Nistune enables for you.
  23. GTSBoy
    No, the wiring is not the same. There are differences at various sensors. The Neo has a boost sensor for the ECU that the vanilla 25 doesn't. You need the R34 loom and the R34 ECU.
  24. GTSBoy
    Yup 1600 2 door. Datto's equivalent to the AE86 in terms of fanboi desirability & hence cost.

    Every time I hire a car it takes about a week before I notice that the thing even turns a camera on and shows a blurry f**ked out view of what's behind me when I engage reverse gear. That's because I'm already doing the right thing by looking backward before I engage reverse to make sure there's nothing behind me.
