Well, I read an article a while back where a guy with a GT4 Celica put the Lexus V8 motor (LS400/SC400)

into it, and it actually ended up being lighter than the 3S-GTE!

Might be an interesting hybrid idea for a skyline. Imagine hearing a skyline go past with that V8 rumble,

you'd confuse everyone! :)

Oh would someone be able to confirm that since I am dropping a RB25DET into the Cefiro that i just need to get the Apexi PFC suited to that engine..ie R33 GTST. Or is it not as simple as that??

Someone up here in qld actually has an r33 with the 4.5l q45 V8 in it, AND a supercharger :D

With the ae86, someone else up here has one with an rb25 in it, to say the least it hauls. Then there is the 180sx with the 2jz in it, and one big mofo turbo... Then the starlet with the 3sgte in it...

But rb25 is a sensible option. Id just like someone to do the rb30 before me so I know if there is going to be any problems :)

hey mate

yeh i've done the rb30

its all pretty straight forward.

rb30e bottom end

c33 rb25de half cut. because there cheap and non vvt

you can run a standard head gasket (rb30 or rb25)

8.2-1 compression

you need to lower your engine,eith with rx7 engine mounts or cut and shut your current ones(the cross member not the mount.

you need a little re wiring nothing major (not sure on costs sorry also done myself)

cost under a grand as i done all the work myself

still n/a at the moment beatins SS commo's and my mates r34 rb25det NEO(stock)

highly recommended.i'm still totaly stock and very happy with my performance.

LoL, awesome man. My mechanic has done quite a number with rb26 heads, so I would probaby go that way.

How was the crossover pipe and the bonnet???

No worries, bonnet wouldnt shut cause of timing belt cover, lowered motor about 20mm, no problems with pipework.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
