Howdy yawl ,

quick question.

Have put the 26/30 into my R32 GTR and it does not look right seems to be sitting to high .

Do i use the rb 26 r32 engine mounts ( rubber) and the engine mounts aluminium and not a differant combo ?

Your advice appreciated.

Also would like to know a solution to this problem, i did the RB30DET conversion into a R32 GTS and could easilly modify the engine mounts as they are steel, but the GTS4 i have has the same Aluminium mounts as a GTR, doesnt look like they can be modded easily or at all.

Check the clearance between the sump and the crossmember that will tell you if you can lower the engine by modifying the mounts, you should have between 15-20mm clearance. I will be using solid mounts from Zennith Tunning which should allow me to sit the engine 5mm off the crossmember.

When I was in Melbourne I spoke to AVO about this conversion and they apparently slot the engine mounts to allow the engine to sit a little lower. I think it still comes close to touching the bonnet though.

So are the standard GTR mounts solid aluminium? ie; they dont use rubber mounts connected to a solid mount like the gtst ones??

If so, the vibration and noise thru the car body would be increased due to the solid mount wouldnt it?

GTR mounts are very similar to the gts-t ones, another option is to elongate the holes which bolt to the block on the mount allowing the engine to sit lower, the solid mounts are an aftermarket thing which i will be using in my car, yes the engine will vibrate more through the car but will also transfer more power as the engine will not twist on the mounts causing a loss of power/response.

Hi.

I have a gts-4

For future reference, aside from engine mounts (slotting, replacing), is there much that can be done?

As in, pump the bonnet & get a vent cut?

(I know I'm dreaming - but I'm already half way there...)

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
