have some nice Rays gt2s for sale that woul be sick on the silvia... :)

My front suspension arms arrived today, so should have everythig fitted and the car on the ground this week-end. was hoping to have the engine assembled and fitted but have had an issue with valve spring retainers, so unless a replacement set arrives 2morro, the engine will probably go in next week.

nice. they were a good buy. I was nearly going to grab them as a spare set for the silvia. then remembered I already have 3 sets of rims for the silvia.... :banana:

... and additional front diff support bracket.

Charles do you mean the one that goes under the nose of the diff? If so, ditch it. Only the 32gtr ran this extra bracket, 33 and 34 don't use it, and neither do some big power cars I know of with theis cradle. You just need some large washers to protect the lower bush

Picked up heads after sorting out the valve train issue which ended up being a dodgy set of locks. Got a new set of Manley locks and all was sweet.

ARP head stud kit, MLS Felpro head gaskets, Comp Cam anti pump-up roller lifters, Comp Cam pushrods & Yella Terra rockers. I know that the pushrods may be a bit foreign to some people. lol. Also fitted stainless ARP exhaust manifold stud kit, as they were cheaper than GM.

Comp ended up at 10.9:1 after the deck machine, which is excellent as standard is 10:1

Will finish setting up the rocker pre-load and sit the engine in tomorro.

Looking nice!

I hope you didn't mount the heads the way you are about to in the bottom left picture... It shows your about to mount the head in the wrong direction... (Exhaust port to the intake side...) :domokun:

some hot rod guys told me there was 10kw in doing it.

Starting to bang it all together, all going sweet, i guess thats the advantage in triall fitting everything first.

ill finish fitting radiator, and dummy up engine harness so electrician can start. can also start buying bends for the exhaust

Should get a mechanic to do it, Stu.

:)

they are off our Commodore. They are 1&3/4" primary pipes into 3". they had to be modified to fit but only slightly.

Nice!

Not long now until you can start it...

From witch car does the headers come from? Pontiac GTO?

And what are the spec on the headers?

BezerkR32, amen to ya brother, forget the haters lol, mine makes 340hp on a completely stock engine with a link g4 ecu, ive owned many an rb20det and a couple work rb25dets and I have to say I enjoy my new setup the most by far. I did manage to retain my power steering though, although its so incredibly tight as you can see from the pictures, that it initially wore a hole in the starter motor:S I have the car running now, just havent updated the thread. Cant wait to see some action footage lol.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Hendasto · Posted

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
