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:

yeh, was going to try something different, but it wouldnt fit lol. you dont miss much. :(

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?

thanks Phunky, still a while off though. hoping to have it all done for powercruise, that will give me the oportunity to run everything in and sort out any teething problems before i track it.

Looking good! Can't wait to see this thing in action

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.

    • 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
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
    • Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
