I am building a few RB26's, everything is fine and dandy but since I am from Canada no machinist here has any factory information about the RB engines. Sooooo I need to know all factory clearances and torque settings and patterns for the RB26. Pretty much all the information my machinist will need will be very helpful!

I am also fixing the oil drive since these are all early R32 engines and I’ve herd of you guys welding the snout then c and c afterwards. Anyway my machinist doesn’t think welding should be done unless it has to be so I was wondering if you guys have pressed on those JUN collars for the oil drive. I need full oil drive on these cranks because the people I sell these cars to are stupid and want it. I normally just over fuel the car and ditch the rev limit but these guys just want the drive to be good.

Any who thanks for your help, Sorry if this is the wrong place to post. Mod can move it where needed.

I have an early rb26 crank at the machine shop for the oil pump drive mod.

They are machining down the snout to shink fit a billet sleeve which they will machine down to factory spec of the later crank.

I've been assured by these guys that setscrews will not be necessary if the collar is done this way.

of the top of my head..

being a sissan six just pretend its an L series.

oil clearance 1-1.8thou both on big ends and mains

(1.8 is better)

piston to bore clearance 1.2-2 thou

ring end gaps as per usual such and such thou per inch of bore.

head bolts 110nm

not sure on bigends or maines.

have to get back to you with that :D

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
