Im still the winner so far!!

With a plain bearing internal gated dinosaur from 1987 :(

But when carls is finished it should be a serious piece of gear. Glad to see someone throw some serious coin at an RB20 and share all the details as well. For that I congratulate you and wish you all the best..

back in your box. you lucky devil got most of the good gear from the factory (manifold, turbo, fmic etc)

I cant help but wonder how cool RB20s would have been if Nissan kept with the GTS-R theme with the R32 and Touring Car racing. We would all be driving cars with the grunt that yours and Carlh are makinh :thumbsup:

final assembly done...motor is due to go into car tommorow with any luck it will be done.

Im with mattsr and cubes!!!!!!!! Give it some real boost. After all, that GT30R is only having fun at 22 psi and you have engine capable handling more now. Bring it on :)

I have been watching this thread. Beautiful work. Cant wait to see the results.

BTW where did you get the turbo from? I thought the "real" GT30R still werent available in Aus....

You know that you now have wet our appetites with pics :) , so we're gona want some audio clips when its done :(

Ciao

thanks for the kind words...going to school and trying to rebuild a car is hard, so its taken a while to work and save money to fix the old girl.

im actualy in the USA, so i got the turbo here no problem, www.phoenixturbo.com was the place where i got mine and they were great to deal with...

i look so much fatter than i am, damn baggy shirt...

Awsome work Carl, looks top notch and should make some awsome numbers. what was the head stud kit worth? what head gasket did you use?

Damn HKS low mounts and tiny engine mount clearance, my 2871r with a .6 cover only just fits aswell, make sure you get some tough intake piping to stop it rubbing through when your engine bucks. :happy:

I hate those clips you can’t save them (very GOOD sounding rb20):(

if its youtube or google vid then you can. Google something along the lines of "saving youtube videos" and there is a script to install on mozilla :P (shit quality, but hey)

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
