Well its a bit quiet and boring in here.. so i thought I'd post some random pictures of the conversion of my car as I go.. Started Sunday afternoon, so not doing too bad so far..

Before.. one still working, but slightly overheating and slow rb20 .. Lets get rid of that for the sake of it..

So far got most of the dash apart, to get things ready to start wiring the RB25 engine loom into the body loom when the engine is in.. and also to get the old RB20 loom out.. Nice and messy.. I've done this before in the old r33, so believe it or not, it all goes back together pretty easily, as long as you remember where everything went.

Cool,

Hey where did you get that intercooler piping done in the first pic? That is a far more sensible route for the pipes than the usual setup where the cool side of the pipes run over the radiator.

Edited by JCMarshall_Law

I basically bought it from another forum member over in WA.. it's a custom job though. The only real disadvantage seems to be the heat is transferred to the engine bay a bit more, rather than just the intercooler.. but post cooler seems pretty damn cold.

Hopefully the RB25 allow me to use the same piping, or I guess its time to get some more made up... Thinking 3" may be better with some more power so will see how it goes.

car conversions are fun. good to see yours is comin along gordo

*trip down memory lane*

have fun!

anyway gordo, looks good, keep us updated mate, :D

nice james... always fun to pull the car apart and work out how the hell to put it back together afterwards. Wiring will be fun too.

Just waiting on the clutch and a few other tiny parts now to do much more on mine.. thats the crappy part of the conversion so far, just waiting on things!

Hey Gordo....

Mate went past your place on Tuesday and noticed that you had some one over with a ladder and i saw you talking out the front... I beeped and i wanted to drop in but my gf was driving her s15 and she could not wait to get to harbour town...

Sorry dude...

I will catch up with ya soon...

um.. yeah, i moved to arundel :) so you probably just confused the heck out of him.. hehe.

Well I got the clutch the other day. Going for a Cushioned Ceramic and see how that stacks up... Thats pretty much the last piece of the parts puzzle.

If anybody needs to know the number for a distributor of the Xtreme clutches on the goldcoast btw, send us a PM.

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
