Edited by lilmike86

i was up till late discussing with a friend our engine options for it. it'll be either a 13BTT, 20BTT, 2J or a UJZ (lexus v8) cant decide. i wanna keep the weight low and balanced.

oh and the lexus v8 is a 1UZ

those bullet roadsters run them, i had a good look at one at this years jambo very high qualty work in those cars.. they do a supercharged version too

900kg, would like to go rotor, 20BTT preferably, but could be a problem with emmissions and acquiring one. plus you can get more power out of the rotaries with less mods

yeah but rotarys are thirsty lil buggers, and i believe cost more to maintain than say a sr/rb/jz.

I would definatley go the 1UZ then slap a trd supercharger kit onto it... imagine the v8 growl with the supercharger whine >_<

hmmm i made the mistake of inviting the missus round tonight for dinner that i will cook... :)>_<

now can i learn how to cook by this arvo? :O

lolz looks like u better hire a chef! :P

go sr20 man, ur gonna have massive lag even with a rotor, and the sr's are alloy and u can get pretty respectable power from them, say 550rwhp, which was good enough for an s13 to run a low 10 :laugh:

yeah i reckon chef would be good ...*shakes fist at past self for thinking up this stupid idea* >_<

thinking i might try cookin up some fish, how hard could that be? (no not the frozen sort).

and yeah mike the sr would be a good bet, gotta remember theres heaps of parts available for them too and would be much cheaper to replace than a 2j or even a rotor.

Also gotta consider gearbox options, with the 1uz or 2j you'd need some serious mods to your floorplan to get the engine and box all snug in place i would assume, not to mention if you wanted a manual they can be quite pricey too..

nah i got a plan, grilled barramundi or trout with homemade tartare sauce, those frozen seasoned wedge things, some homemade salad aswell...

only problem is i have no idea of where to go to get some good fish- coles/wollies are pretty crap.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
