wouldnt happen to have a spare inlet manifold from the gt500 engine?

what will you do for me dave if I quickly steal that inlet next time i'm near one? I don't think nismo will give me one for love or money. and i've given them both over the years and they've given me some nice shit, but GT engine might push it! hope you get some inspiration from the pics though. :P

here you go you picture hungry animals. threw in a few nismo engine pics to make up for the slowness.

NISMO JGTC RB26 DRY SUMP SET-UP:

now that i see it's on a little dolly i should have wheeled it home :w00t:

I see they aren't to stressed about harmonics....full counter weight no doubt

yeah no real balancer as such, just a crank pulley to drive the water pump, alt and oil pump... everything would be finely balanced from end of crank to the clutch, not sure if the crank is full counter weight but it probably is.

Couple of things:

Have people who have done a full dry sump setup with a RB26 retaining the 4WD bothered take advantage of a shallower oil pan and lowered the engine? I can imagine it being a bit of a task especially to maintain the suspension and driveshaft geometry.

Is it necessary to run an oil restrictor to the head?

Hoping Brad (Risking) will comment on the first question.

You can't lower the engine much as the pan is not shallower where it goes over the A frame cross member and power steering. The sump box hangs in the abyss....

Good point; need to go under and measure.

yeah given driveshafts still going through the sump/diff in the front it's not easy to drop the engine much if at all. plus if the car is already really low (using just adjustable shocks) then driveshaft angles are already fairly bad.

if you went to a remove front diff (like a hilux etc) arrangement then you'd be in business. but such a hassle.

It's not hard to do at all.

I make the shafts with uni joints instead of constant velocities and put a good splined slip joint at one end to allow for length changes.

Never had a binding issue with lowered engines.

It also helps if you run a higher offset rim and move the hub outward utilizing longer front drive shafts. I think I know what mike has in mind hence the above suggestion he will understand.

The sump bulge gets cut off and critical parts of the diff casing need to be webbed into the pan.

Something I've also been stuffing with is a brace incorporated into the outter diff/sump flange which braces the diff casting to the block. It has seemed to help with the whole snapping diffs of with launching issue I used to have.

If you lower the engine you decrease your driveshaft angle which increases you track... so the proper way to do it would be to do what you suggested, you would not need longer driveshafts but the decreased angle might be an issue?

Why the move to uni's Brad? Sounds like a good idea RE: front diff casing.

Mr Baron: it is funny you mention removing the front diff. some mad fabricator in Sydney outlined plans for such a conversion :rolleyes:

Not measuring the angle of the driveshaft it is hard to tell how much but it will vary. Want to get under and have a look this weekend. Also to check what Matt mentioned.

You are quite the argumentative type :)

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
