It's coming along nicely thanks!

Me and Nathan spent the whole day and night working on it... we got heaps done!!

JIC castor bars IN!!

Inner guards GONE!

S13 Steering rack IN!!

RB25 head OFF!!

We just have to sort out some new S13 rack ends (with longer threads to suit the magic washers), drilling and tapping a hole in the block for the turbo oil return line and the cometic head gasket (not quite sure on the thickness yet). >_<

I thought the block would of had all the oil and water fittings already there, mine did, must of been lucky.

Have you decided on the comp ratio yet and what boost do you plan on running

You must be using the R32 RB25?? Mine is a R33 RB25.. and it has no turbo oil return line at all but inside the block you can see the indent where it is supposed to be..

We've decided to use the 2mm head gasket which should bring the comp. down to 8.4:1 ;)

A 2mm headgasket drops the comp by ~1 point over the std 1mm h/g.

So given the R33 Rb25DE is 10:1 (I think or is it slightly higher) that drops the comp to ~9:1. ;)

We are using a 1.8mm now so yep i am told it should be around that now.. still high comp but not too much higher than std rb25det comp..

  • 4 weeks later...
  • 2 weeks later...

This week me and Mark spent quite a bit of time degreasing EVERYTHING so it was all ready to go when the block was done.. we ended up deciding to rebuild the bottom end...

Yesterday we bought;

new piston ring set

timing belt

1.8mm thick 4 layer cometic head gasket

race series bearing set

conrod bearing set

RB25 power steering pump (non hicas)

I also sanded back the lower lip from my GTR front bar.. ready for repainting...

Today Cammo tapped and drilled the hole for turbo oil return line!!!

SO MONDAY IS THE DAY FOR ASSEMBLY!! :)

more pics....

:rofl1:

and yes it will be getting a tune ASAP.. hopefully in time for the Jan Drift Day in a few weeks at QR!!

Today the bottom end rebuild was completed!

Tomorrow the head goes back on!!

I still have to buy a manual spigot bush (from nissan?)

and the non hicas power steering lines should be arriving thurs/fri..

So we should have it all up and running this weekend!! :glare:

50,000km's and no issues with my cometic. :)

THe motor still has the same compression as it did when it was new. >_< So.. Very happy as one would be. >_<

yea but yours is almost N/A Joel

pump some boost into her and see how she holds up! :)

yea but yours is almost N/A Joel

pump some boost into her and see how she holds up! :rant:

Its been running 1bar through the mid for some time now with my home bodgy tune. Just boost drops to 11psi odd by 4500rpm. :)

So 1bar from 2200rpm until 4500rpm.

Goes quite hard in the lower gears. Just 100km/h + it falls over.

Has no issues edging out a mates r32 rb30det gts4 gt35r making 270rwkw (17psi) through second gear on a rolling run, he passes in third once we are up over 120km/h. So the mid range is definitely not n/a like, just the top end. lol

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
