things like standard pistons, rods, rings, water pump, oil pump, cams etc.

cheers james

well my car was running 12psi 55oc inj's, and exhaust making around 200 awkws. including a oil restrictor and newer oil pump.

this is all good to hear, i have had my rb26 rebuild with eagle rods and acl pistons and rings but using a new standard r32 oil pump(early) and was looking at bigish kinda power. say 350awaks

Rebuilding your engine for that kind of power and not upgrading your oil pump/oil pump drive is crazy and now leaves your new engine with a serious weak point

Agreed, adding to that water pump, tensioners etc etc

the engine has the lot exept the new oil pump, well it does have a new pump. just an OEM one. i was running out of fund with the rebuild rather quickly so an oil pump like a nismo, trust, jun etc was out of the question.

wasnt too keen on the n1 as i have heard about 50% of them that are installed seem to fail, (i have heard this not saying its the truth or they are bad or what every). which actually turned me off the path of using one. so rather than wasting the cash having everything prep'd for an n1 oil pump and it failing the standard pump was decided. as im not looking at increasing the rev's over 7500. it was always out of the question in my mind to increase it that far.

eventually if i decide on going big power. ie 400+kws at the wheels i will have to budget to replace my oil pump with a decent name one. and i guess then i will need my crank collared as well. so im guessing another engine out job. so 5k for the lot this time?

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
