GDay,

Just rang Hornsby Nissan for a price on an RB26 engine overhaul gasket kit. $570! I was just wondering if anyone knew of any alternatives such as non genuine aftermarket kits etc. Im trying to save some money.

Thanks,

Shaun.

I'm assuming it's for a BNR32? If so, buy a BCNR33 gasket kit and an oil stariner o ring for a BNR32. Will be about $300 all up.

Yeah, i was quoted for an R32 Rb26. You're a ledgend Mik!!

I've actually bought an R33 GTR kit before and i couldnt remember paying anywhere near $570. I wonder why the R32 kit is so much more expensive??

Anyway, thanks. Ill price the ACL kit too; but where is ACL?

Shaun.

The Nissan i think is $320... cant remember if that was trade or not though.

Always helps to know someone

ACL - http://www.acl.com.au/

HAve a check around there, not sure if there are prices though

Thanks mate.

i got my VRS kit from Lincorp in parramatta (which offer SAU members discounts) for $160 trade without the valve stem seals. its $244 with them.

Holy sh1t, its getting cheaper and cheaper. Im glad i asked the question now!

Ill ring em on Monday,

Thanks,

Shaun.

only catch is you've got to be a financial member of SAU if you dont have a trade card.

How do i become a financial member???

Also, forgive my stupidity, but what does VRS stand for? Been racking my brains all day!!

Thanks,

Shaun.

PS. Was this for an RB26 (32 or 33). Dont you have an RB25?

And it will get you cheaper entry to the club events and track days as well as the sponsor discounts.

And VRS stands for "Very Rare and Spensive"

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
