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

Anyone care to tell me how to get my standard dash tacho working? Im running Autronic SM4, do I just interface the tacho wire from the Autronic to the wire from port 7 on the standard ecu? Surely I cant be the only one to encounter this when not using standard ecu. Cheers!

ACTUALLY I STUFFED UP.

Sorry, I've been hammered on morphine for the last 2 weeks. It has to go OUT 1-2mm to ease the tension a little.

Correcting other post now.

Sounds like your back is still giving you trouble; sorry to hear mate :teehee:

Best to move back to Melb, it's nice and sunny down hear ;)

PS: I also agree with Geoff on the tensioner location. For the new block, we have moved the bolt hole another 2mm across, away from center.

Thanks for backing that up al cheers.

Now ive rung nissan to get a VRS kit for the Rb26 head but nissan want to know if it is before or after the 3/93 with the latter option being cheaper. I havent heard too much talk on here about needing one or the other so im guessing both are the same?

thanks fellas

Just out of curiosity what would be involved in fitting an RB25/30 to a 180sx???

A rough price estimate would be great too if possible...

Thanks.

Front face plenum, lower the mounts as discussed in this "small" thread, move the power steering lines if needed, put a small love bump in the factory bonnet or get a aftermarket one.

Price.. depends how far you go..

I started mine at the start of this thread and I am only just now doing the final touches now. :D

Question about the PowerGrip belt and the Harmonic...

when i fit the belt it sat wonky like the pic below

img1576nd0.jpg

but with more tension it sits in fine.

Gates state that they supply 2 types of belt, a standard one and the one above which is their "performance" belt.

Not sure if its a case of this belt requires more tension than standard.

Has anyone fitted the 1200 8MGT (says gates on the belt not dayco) and run the car with no issue?

There's previous posts about it but no result.

Thanks

If you look at the 30 head you would notice that the way the valves are arranged they sit on one side for the first three and the other side for the last three. In the end its just cheaper for Nissan to make the one set of pistons with the cutouts there rather than two separate designs.

looking at my rebuild kit today something struck me, why did nissan make the pistons to suit a 4 valve head? By that i mean the piston has the cut outs for 4 valves.

Was nissan keeping an ace up their sleeve :thumbsup:

what pistons are they and price if you dont mind

I've had no problems with my standard tacho, using an aftermarket ecu (wolf 3D). Are you sure something else isn't farked up? Have you tried your cluster or ecu on another car?

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
