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"

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
