big turbos are fun :P

that manifold looks like it would be a hell of a lot easier to get the nuts on and off, mine takes hours to do,

Damn dude,, you've got my inlet manifold,,,,

lol

It wasn't too bad,, had it all bolted up and snapped the very last stud that I did the final tension on,,, off again in about ten minutes,,,

had to replace the lower middle two studs with bolts though,, as they fouled on the pipes,,,,

cheers

nice work mate

Cheers mate,,

Now the teething troubles start,,

had an oil leak from the return line,, off comes the turbo again,,

turned out to be a hair line fracture in the brazing,,, grrr,

now I just need to learn how to program the e-manage and e-01,,, lol,, lots involved in that,,

then the last things are to finish cutting the front bar, and mount up the cold air box and power steering reserviour,, then I can go play,,,,

hehehehe

cheers

Hi 33GTT What is the name of your blow-off valve

Hey 'R32 _ULTIMATE_WEAPON',,

The plumb back has to be a cheap knock off as there is no markings,, but there is also a stage 2 atmospheric hidden underneath the inner gaurd that is a Turbosmart 'V port',,

cheers

John

      Coolant leak?

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.

      Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo

      Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
