Just thought I would bump this 20 year old thread because the Skid Factory have just posted up a video summarising a lot of the content, format might be more familiar for newer members

how much is it for a 4wd sump adaptor?? how much do the prices vary? i know RIPS in NZ make em and one guy on here (forgot his nickname) and sydneykid said his fabricator makes them.

i want one that fits first time with no mods at all.

also could i use my rb26 power fc djetro on a rb26 head/rb30 bottom end? how do i go with the difference in knock sensors on the rb30 bottom end? do the rb30s use 1 or 2 knock sensors?

cheers

RB30 uses ONE knock sensor in the middle. BUT they have the provisions for the 2 knock sensor in the standard position from the rb25/26 so they bolt straight in.

question for Sky30 . or anyone who knows

what rear housing are you using on the GT3540 ??

and have you got a newer dyno sheet than the one you posted in the RB30 results thread?

Im using some kind of .82 truck housing with internal gate machined to suit GT35/40.

No further results to that dyno, that was running stock plenum and stock exhaust manifold.

Thats is a good result!!!

Wondering if anyone has solved the bonnet clearance issue??? I have now been driving around with my bonnet open LOL and i dont want the cops to pull me over...

is it hitting the support bracing of the bonnet or the actual bonnet skin?

I have cut the support braces off, its touching on the bonnet itself where the corner of the inlet manifold is... i really dont like driving around with my bonnet half open LOL

Take it to a crash shop and ask if they can nicely put a controlled dent in it or something.. Looks like you may have to go some sort of bonnet scoop, shell out for an aftermarket plenum or thought about grinding the plenum yet?

Have you tried to space the rear of the bonnet up using a spacer between the bonnet and hinge?

Or space the engine crossmember down a bit using some big washers?

Yer i tried spacing up the rear of the bonnet and didnt work, im not going to play with the cross member for obvious reasons, looks like its going to have to be a bonnet scoop...

      some days eh? The keyless entry and interior light on/off with the key will be controlled by the Body Control Module, but I'm not certain where that is or what it looks like (you might get lucky with a search to get a part#, which could be printed on it). I'd start at the A pillar/ Under dash/kick panel on the driver's side

      It might be hit and miss, but Nissan Genuine Parts and Pitworks are not the same thing, although both are available from Nissan Dealers with Nissan Part Numbers. Nissan Genuine Parts are the OEM stuff, Pitworks are their attempt to get people back from generic parts makers

      R32 Skyline Interior Door Light Issue

      By DominusUniversi · Posted

      I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too.
