[slow40]

Hi guys, never really officialy introduced myself but thought I should post up my progress for anyone interested.

My Car is a Nissan 95 240sx (200sx)

Motor is a ER34 Neo6 RB25, with GTR Crank.

CP pistons

GTR Rods

ARP Main/Rod Bolts

ACL Main/Rod Bearings

I chose this motor thinking they had fixed the oil drive, but i was wrong.

Here's some pics!

I'll start with the beginning when I took her apart the first time.

before head came off..cams have no wear/sludge buildup..low miles

So all was good until i decided to remove the oilpan to reseal it and came across the skinny oil drive.

apparantly mine was one of the ealier motors that wasn't fixed

crank snout

oil pump

[slow40]

some parts

greddy manifold will work with slight tweaking of the fuel rail and Q45 Throttle body

ordered a tomei oil restrictor from Nengun

[slow40]

and here we are as of today.

I just got the motor back after the machine shop assembled

- rb26 crank

- cp pistons

- standard 26 rods

- ACL main/rod bearings

- ARP main/rod bolts

- honed cylinder walls

- had the head/block hot tanked and resurfaced

- rotating assembly balanced ( really don't think was necesary )

little over $500 later and BAM!

i chose to tap the rear of the head to fit an external oil drain to the sump

I'd like to have it in the car on mounts by this weekend, but more than likely will just paint the block, assemble it and get it ready for next weekend.

I've still got to get my harness back, tap the oil pan for the return line, and port match ex and intake ports/manifolds.

thx for looking!

[slow40]

so we got the motor on mounts tonight... so close yet so far.

on to the pics

mounts fit like a glove

a little persuading of the firewall for the oil drain to clear, damn close and what a PITA that was.

oodles of clearance i plan on running 2 12" pullers.

can't wait to trash this pos

and the money shot

alot of small stuff now..hard shit's outta the way.

this week ill probably spray bomb the valve covers again, clean up the bay, bolt up the trans x-member

thx man, it's gettin there, still waiting on my harness to be sent back from being converted. taking waaaaayy too long

as far as sourcing the motor, wasn't too hard, we have alot of importers who are able to get just about any motor.
