N1 is for Nismo

no it's not.. lol

anyway, I don't think your labour price was that far out, except for the fuel pump. god damn. remove and drain tank? you just open the inspection port and clip it in. takes about 1 hour tops if you have never done it before. next time is 30 mins.

oil pump I think is a waste of money with his current upgrades. cost of around $1200 for a good one, and when using a high flowing pump it's worth while fitting baffles, and you will NEED to add an oil return from the head, and block or reduce the oil feeds to the head (all this together would be a couple of grand installed).

forget the oil pump at this stage of mods.

OK...I got that wrong...but that is all ...I stand by all the other estimated prices.

Oh Beer Baron....I get it ...get all your mods...and wait for the oil pump to fail...so then you can re-build your motor..lol

im doing similar mods to what ya mate wants.im not changing oil pump just keep revs under 8 thats my plan and hope she holds up good...

get on the sticky thread...Report Engine failures...and look at why most GTR32 motors fail.

Oil pump...broken gears...broken bolts on gears,,,then it is up to you to decide.

well for 300kw I don't think it's neccesary to change the oil pump. look at the cost properly:

new pump (jun,greddy,whatever) $1200

external oil drain $300

oil restrictor $10

head gasket $250

sump baffles/enlarged sump $500

proper oil pressure gauge $300

crank collar + fitting $300

REMOVE AND REPLACE ENGINE $800

REMOVE AND REPLACE HEAD $400

a total of nearly $4000 just to have an aftermarket pump installed and working properly. that's a lot of dough just to protect a standard RB26...

now whilst you have gone to all this trouble to replace the oil pump tell me, now that you have the head off doesn't it make sense to install some forged pistons? if you are going pistons doesn't it make sense to get some new rods too. if you are getting new rods now you need new bearings. now you have just rebuilt your RB26 and have spent $10K and not even done your mods yet.

so I'll say it again. for small low mount turbos, running around the 300kw mark replacing the oil pump is not the best use of your money.

edit: forgot crank collar. :domokun:

agreed totally. plus a r33 gtr crank or collar.ill be waiting for it to pop or have the money for the full build,i no things might break but shit it break on the stock setup 2...

Goes for you to ash.....I have been through all this and can even post receipts on work carried out by performance work-shops.

If You and Nick agree that for $2000 you can get Turbo's/Dumps/Injectors/Fuel pump/Regulator/Oil pump/Timing Belt

all fitted..........I believe you are mis-leading people.....let alone there has been no talk of a good tune and all the other minor details that will be need to be adressed.

Good luck with the mods mate..

Oh as far as the new crate motor..here is a link http://www.justjap.com/parts_nengines.htm

Thanks for the link. I aware of what a crate motor is and where to purchase them.

But do you realise you get just the long motor?

So spending 13k on a crate motor, and then going and purchasing plenum, injectors, loom, turbos, dumps, manifolds, belts, pulleys etc etc.

You basically spend 13k and your worse off as you still need to purchsse everything. :thumbsup:

Posting up that he should by a crate motor for 300rwkw is just stupid when a stock RB26 can rattle of 300rwkw day in day out for years.

Many have done so before, many will continue to do so.

I wasnt even referring to Nick's post about labour debate with you.

I was referring, as i did quote you, to your post about the parts. So lets get into it.

Below is what you reccomended, next to it is more precise advice.

* 2530/2860's - too big for 300rwkw

* Nismo FPR - Not required at all

* Splitfire coils - Not neccesarily required

* 700 or higher injectors - wrong

* Cams - Nice to have, but again not required

For 13k (incl cams) thats just a plain rip off. If you paid that price, then you my friend have been stung royally.

Angus posted the rough prices back on Page 1 (around $8500). Go back and look over it and you'll see the prices are spot on.

Anymore than say... $1000 more... you paid good money for nothing

Thanks Nismoid......gt-ss or gt2530's for a gtr is really up to the individual choice.

The prices have fallen since I finished work on my car.

Sure...going different turbo's makes no difference in price.

Sure use your standard afm's.

Sure Coils aren't required.

Sure 700cc injectors are big....so 555 items are fine.

Sure cams aren't required...

Sure new oil pump and water pump aren't required

Sure timing belt...or any other thing required....

Sure dial the actuator to 1.2bar....so no need for boost controller.

SO

"Slap the turbo,s,injectors and pump(Fuel) do a mild tune.....all is good.

$2500 turbo's,fuel pump and reg.$ 450...INJECTORS $700...TUNE AND LABOUR.....$1800..FROM A QUALITY WORKSHOP.

TOTAL COST $5450

Engine will be fine...under 300or at300rwkw's if you rev..below 8000RPM...all good."

If i ever give this comment to a thread title like "Money to spend on a gtr"ESPECIALLY A 32

THEN GIVE IT TO ME HARD...LOL

edit: forgot crank collar. :thumbsup:

So true....to many things need to be looked at...thought about...cost of replacing taken into account when you have everything open....the thing is...a 32 is getting a bit long in the tooth...if you don't replace or fix things as you upgrade

turbo's etc....you will be asking for trouble...that is why I firmly believe in fixing and replacing things before they break.

On the other hand ...most prefer to break thing first then fix them.

Either way...it still costs about the same.......

I mean...if the oil pump fails....cost for re-build...about $4k to $5k +..depending on what you want to go in.

To replace the oil pump and do the mod's as you have stated $4K.

Because the motor will be out to do the turbo's some of that cost is saved.

For 300rwkw, explain (logically) how the 2530 is better than the GT-SS

Thanks.

Really

300RWKW's on which Dyno.. at what RPM...with what mods...using what boost?

Can he use 300RWKW's on the street if he gets it at 7500RPM.?

Does he know what a gtr feels like with only 300rwkw's?

.....lots of questions need to be asked to make it a logical explanation.

GT2530's I will state as the best upgrade on a gtr and most people who have driven one with them,will never use gt-ss turbo's.

I use them and there is nothing but smile on my face when I hit full boost.

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
