Hey there fellow Skyline owners,

As the title suggests i've gone and destroyed my baby, and it was all my fault. >_<

I own a 96 model series 2 Skyline GTST

Mods before the destruction:

Garrett GT35/40R Turbo

Turbosmart 38mm ultragate

Stainless high mount Manifold

Splitfire Ignition Coils

Denso 550cc Injectors

Apexi PowerFC

Monkey Frontmount

Z32 AFM

Bosch 040 Fuel pump

Blitz SpecR Boost Controller

Standard Internals

Making around 270rwkw....

Okay so this is how it happened. Just cruising around one day and decided to give it a foot full lol. Then all of a sudden i lost all boost and a dreaded sound come from under the bonnet. Upon further inspection i had found the $1000 dollar stainless manifold had given way... DAMN... Well anyway i disassembled everything, got the manifold re-welded and bolted it all back together. Now in my rush to put everything back together i did the stupidest thing!!! Anyway i backed out of the drive way and took it for a spin. OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL!!! was my next response as the car boosted to 2.6bar and went pop! :( , I slowly drove it home with smoke billowing out the back. Upon investigation i found I had put the lines to the Wastegate around the wrong way..... STUPID!! lol. I expect to get flamed for this... So anyways i've pulled it all apart and have discovered i've only cracked number 2 piston...

Okay so thats my story and now i pose a question to you all. I have got around 12grand in the bank and want to re-build my baby to make it stronger.

So in all honestly people what should i do with the cash. What pistons, rods, cams, etc. should i get?? Name anything and everything i should buy (keeping within 12 grand please)

Currently i've got rid of the turbo and wastegate. I wanna upgrade to a T04z but i'm up for any suggestions.

Looking to achieve over the magic 300rwkw mark.

Thanking you all in advance.

Gordon.

i have the gt3540 going onto my r33 and was going to do the rb25/30, but im going to wait and see how it goes on the rb25

i was going to buy this for the combo

rb30 bottom end from series 2, ( Speak to MIT16 on calaisturbo.com.au) s2 block that has been honed, decked, and had the grub screws on the crank done, very very good nick. Its also on the std bore size still. There was over $250 in work done you can have the lot for $200 if interested .........cheers brett Ps im in toowoomba.... ph 0408305170

Brad from spool imports has a rb25 head with plenum for 590, and can get it all cleaned up cut valves, face valves shave head blah blah etc for a cheap price. So its all new. Also depends if ya want to keep the vct or not, but if ya dont want vct, he can have all the galleries welded up etc.

Brad also has a package for rods and pistons, so it would be good to speak to him ( Spoolup is his name on this forum, or www.spoolimports.com )

rb26 or rb30 head gasket

r33 rb26dett oil pump and water pump

Buy the jun crank collar for the smaller diameter crank of the rb30 ??

I guess you will be getting a new exhaust manifold ( speak to kyle 6boost off calaisturbo.com.au, he is most probably on here aswell)

Then its getting the block and crank balanced, bored out for the pistons, putting it in the car, hooking up all the wiring ECU

There will be other minor things that you will have to get, but hopefully i have said all the basic stuff to get it all going.

But people to speak that i thought were helpful and know what they are talking about are LTHLRB, Sydneykid, Cubes, Spoolup

There are alot of ppl on here that have done it, but there just a couple of ppl that i know who have.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
