Hi, it is a slow process but it looks like it going to cost me about $12,000+ for this motor rebuild + extras.

I had a look at the no.1 piston when they got the motor apart and had cracked ring landing. Scored the bore, hopefully machinable to 20 thou, cause from old motor, or maybe over boosting it without tuning. (My bad). Either way it was needing a rebuild in time to come.

I found I had a nismo single spring button clutch in the car, so just going to reco that. - $800+

The type of pistons that I'm going to use are called Arie's/Aeries something like that. (Forged Pistons)

The turbos I'm going to use are called 2830 -5 twins I think. Can anyone tell me anything about them?

And the P.F.C I was thinking about using is called WOLF. Does anyone know of these computers?

Thankyou

Hi,

I had a rebuild on my R32 at Racepace, where are getting it rebuilt? I also used Arias Forged pistons. Arias are a very well respected brand, but more important is your rebuilder is experienced with the piston and not have too much clearance. Ben knows exactly how much is too much and used the tightest setting and I had absolutely no rattle on start up and near zero engine roughness.

I dont know what the 2830's are (are they HKS?) but I know a popular turbo is the HKS GT2530's. I opted for the HKS GT-SS which are slightly smaller, but are a little more responsive. Had 90% peak power buy 4000rpm till redline so it made driving it very easy. Dyno gave 313rwkw, with GT2530 prob would have been around 330+rwkw.

As for ECU, I PFC refers to the A'Pexi Power FC. Its an excellent option cos its plug and tune, whereas other standalones may need new sensors and rarely have a base map so install costs are much more. I was thrilled with mine but it doesnt matter what you use, its who tunes it that matters.

All I can say is you're going through an expensive exercise so dont skimp on costs, get the best parts and builder you can afford. Better to pay more once than pay less twice. I spent about $20k all up (which is on the expensive side) but I never had a problem and the car drove beautifully. Even my friend mentioned it drove smoother than his stock rex.

      Well - they have arrived.  And they are easy on the eye to put it mildly... These only have three bolts - but for a start there is a key that fits with vacuum like precision..  And as you can see by my ruler, the interface is large..   I listened to a podcast on HP Academy about Dan (KiwiCNC) and I'm more than comfortable he knows what he is doing. R35 Bearing assembly should arrive later today so can mock that up for a look. Can't wait to get these on and get some brake pressure logging too. IMG_3860.MP4

      I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?
