Aquired a near new set of whiteline swaybars for the wheelchair and set about fitting them today. The front bar is a bitch on a 13 year old unraped car. Had to drop the castor arms to get the old out and the new in. Those bloody things were tight as a fishes arse. finally got the front done and set about the rear. A squillion times easier but I am missing a couple of parts to finish it. Hopefully I can get them express sent up before thursdays track day. :whistling:

what scares me is you know how tight a fishes arse is :\

:rofl:..

btw what parts do you still have for sale ?

A complete engine from the cat to the harmonic balancer and from the sump plug to the tappet covers. turbo included.

Progress is slow but sure. The eagle has landed. Eagle rods, arp rod bolts and race bearings arrived today. Crank is now out and goooorn to get collared. (thanks Dan) Jun oil pump and aftermarket harmonic balancer will be here anon.

As soon as the crank is ready its off to Brisbane engine balancing along with the rest of the rotating mass for one of grants finest.

Waiting for cams and valve springs to arrive and then the head is off to J Hill esquire for the solid lifter conversion.

Sump goes in tomorrow for gates and baffling And then we can start assembling the long engine.

As of that point I think I will be busted so I will have to start sticking coins in the piggy bank for a while to get the rest of the hardware required to complete the build.

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
