Hey Pete, ever thought of going standard pump as a pick up and a bosch 044 as a external pump with a surge tank?

Im thinking of doing something like this with my build. Should be more then enough fuel i should hope.

yeah but there you've got the inevitability of E85 and needing bigger injectors again like Joel said saturday might as well bite the bullet and get 1000's

yeah spoke to hime briefly on Sat about that.

He mentioned something about 800cc with twin sprays (not avail in 1000cc).

Don't think 400kw + E85 = 800cc unfortunately though

yeah I reckon you're right Luke.......to play it safe anyway

External Bosch is approx $250........have you checked out any decent surge tanks.........haven't really had the need to look into them until now.

ive never seen an rb20 set up like this :laugh:

rb20det Engine variations:

The rb20det came in two different forms, the earlier red top with the NICS system and the newer silver top version with the ECCS system. The red top is the earlier version of the rb20det and came as standard with the r31 skyline, z32 fairlady and the nissan laurel, whilst the r32 skylines and nissan cefiro came with the silver top version.

Just to confuse you more there were a few red top rb20dets with the eccs system, heres some engine power outputs.

RB20DET red top

1986-1987: 178bhp (NICS version)

1988-1989: 190bhp (ECCS version)

RB20DET silver top

1989 onwards: 215bhp

never seen that setup on a 20 too..would give better response as the piping is significantly shorter however i reckon that cooler would be getting major heat soak as my 20 generates quite a bit of heat ontop of the cam/rocker cover

Im thinking maybe get AM performance to make one up. If your keen to get one, we might be able to get two cheaper.

I'll have a look on some Jap sites to see if anyone makes them over there.

Z31 200ZR (basically the old school fairlady with povvo NICS Redtop RB20DET with top mount cooler)

Id rather poke myself in the eye with a rusty needle before driving another NICS RB20DET

as a mate of mine has in his msn name: NICS is japanese for FAIL

hey luke how much do hks 700cc (740cc??) usually go for????

just curious on the retail price compared to the price they gave me on them....

hey does the z32 afm have mesh on both sides? stupid question i know but just want to make sure before i buy.. im guessing it doesnt but not sure =/

yes they do im guessing your looking at a ebay job they normally tear off the mesh to clean the wire buyer beware :/

Craig, i had a Redtop NICS in my 31 a few years back

nothing but issues, and a poor breather of an engine (the fingers of the inlet runners are about half the size of a silvertop 20det runner...........not cool). i think i made a massive 76rwkw with a RB25 turbo strapped to it that was making 5psi LOL

oh yeah, and once i popped it and stripped it for parts to sell, this is all i had left

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
