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..

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

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
