Ok a quick update.

My head gasket finaly arrived from Tomei Custom one 83.5mm bore and 1.5mm thick.

Also New HKS oil cooler kit arrived in the same package.

Plenum is off being welded by a fellow names GT somewhere down gold coast way not sure who he is but came highly recommended.

So I am on the lookout for a rb20 billet fuel rail to suit 650cc Sard injectors, a 90mm billet throttle body and a nice thick alloy radiator.

Can anyone recommend any they have seen around, prefer one where the butterfly actually closers cleanly.

Cheers

Pics will be up soon

An update you want, An update you shall get!

The engines together and sitting in my car port, working on gearbox, plenum, and exhaust manifold. I decided to give it a crack at making my own exhaust manifold before I bought a 6Boost job from Kyle.

Thanks Kyle for the flanges and a few pointer's, be nice its my first time TIG welding :)

Also have changed the turbo to a Garrett T04Z .84 rear split pulse, And installed new Tappered Lugs into the front and back of the block.

Waiting on All new sump, rear main seal and rocker cover bolts, should arrive next week.

Yea thought about the lag but its goign to rev to 9500rpm and is built for it. We are looking at running 29 - 30psi thought it on the dyno.

Anyone know any good machine shops in Western subs brisbane need to machine flat the exhaust manifold flange as its warped a bit from welding it.

Thanks for the Gary, Have filled it up with silicone, Its a rb26 n1 Pump which looked the same as the one I got off my original rb20, but filled it up anyway as it looked a lil suspect.

So there is no bolt in the slotted hole, meaning no threaded hole in your RB20 block?

hi,

new here,

doing an rb24 build myself over in ireland. much the same. did you get the uprated crank collar for the gtr crankshaft?

any updates as yet? are your cams rb20 or rb26 cams? also are you running tomei valve guides or larger ones?

keep up the good build

Hi Reuben,

As far as i'm aware there is an updated crank collar on the crank shaft, But I am using a stock rb26 oil pump which will be heaps of oil flow for the rb20head.

My cams at TOMEI 270 IN & EX 9.25mm lift made for the rb20, I also paired them with TOMEI solid lifters and 2.6 Shims. As for the valve guides they are custom guides made by a local engine machine shop.

Cheers

Cameron,

You wouldn't happen to have a spec sheet for your pistons would you. I just got a set of custom pistons made by

JE and they came with a slight dome. They also seem to have move the compression height on mine down 3mm instead of 2.

They look a little different then any of the RB24 pistons I've seen before. At least if it's too much dome I can just have it shaved off.

Mine are the complete oppostie to yours, inverted by 2mm so the domes resessed into the piston, not sure on the term.

I don't have the spec sheet any more sorry, And i can't get to the numberon the bottom of the piston to get the info again from ROSS.

But my oil ring is 4.25mm in height from memory. Sorry I can't be much assistance i will try get the info from my mechanic.

Cameron,

Ok i dug up an email from ROSS regarding the ring specs, I have emailed them to get a copy of the specs for the pistons.

RINGS:

Bore size is 3.270” Ring grooves are 1.2 mm, 1.5mm, 4.75mm radial depths are .134”, .144”, .180”

Cameron

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • 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.
