hey wat? wats up with urs now?

Well there is a fully built engine being offered for a low price...I could buy it and sell mine as a working unit (It works fine but I am a nervous person) and enjoy a relative ly low change over cost...bang all worries gone

u know theres no way in hell u'd get ur old engine out and the new one in intime for autosalon lol...if ur keen on the engine, and it's a real gem of one too, put it of until after autosalon maybe

I cant really put it off till after autosalon....as I have wakefiled soon after!

But I am assured the swap can be done in a day, for the cost of a steak BBQ lunch :wave:

want to share the details of the motor andy? u know we all like details :)

I forget alot of the details

But I remember

JE pistons

Eagle rods

Cryoed crank

N1 oil and water pumps

ACL race bearings

Some tricky head studs

The engine was built by a mate and was in a car that got written off 2000km after it was built so no run in period required :(

Does anna know about this? lol...sounds like its a bargain, i'd get it, therefore u dont need to worry about it going pop for a long time.

RE the N1 oil pump, i read this earlier today, http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=136134 and it's scared me a little bit. Im now thinking of replacing the oil pump for a JUN (or the likes) before the big turbo's go on :)

yeah I read that too, but I wont be too worried I will still only be making my current power..well maybe a smidge more after it is tuned with no air leaks lol

Yep Anna knows!

How much does a normal slightly tired rb25 go for these days?

with all that forged goodness u'd be silly not to run more boost :(

i'd just be having a rough guess, but it'd have to be $2500+? no idea really lol

Hmmm well that is good...that makes the changeover cost rather small :wave:

And yeah I will up the boost to the turbos max efficiency...wich is about 7psi more than I run now

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
