what are the benefits of retaining the VCT? and is it as simple as removing that section of the gtr plenuming and welding the gts-t part on?

only benefit i see is cost. i.e it costs a fair amount to change to a solid lifter/cam setup. but then you have a huge selection of cams to chose from

i dont really want to go explaining exactly what needs to be done on the open forum, however purchasers will be told exactly what to do and whats needed

thanks for the reply :thumbsup:

i understand not wanting to make everything public :D

If my j-spec supplier doesn't work out i will be getting in contact with you for sure ;)

again thanks for all the helpfully reply :)

Wouldnt recomend the rb26 set up on a 20 head.

Why? Not enough airflow?

Shane and I have spoken a bit about making one for the 20..... Im hoping this isnt an exercise in money wasting....

That's right, not enough airflow for it to make decent response and stumbling on throttle openings. The velocities of the air are what is important. But for the cost, just setup a custom 6tb intake.

Call Wayne at Meridian Motorsport in Melbourne. He can either organise the setup or put you in touch with someone who can.

why is there not enough air flow? cause the 20 heads have smaller ports?

Been lurking for a bit, but now I am finally in the position to get some wk done to the car. I am very interested in the ITB conversion for my (RB25) RB30DET. Is there any (signiciant) difference in ITB designs throughout the RB26 year models that I should be looking for? I have done a search, but came up empty handed.

I already have the Greddy intake with the Q45 TB, but on my '77 280Z that manifold angles out too far and for the most part hits the fender. The GTR manifold would pretty much perfectly line up with the openings in the rad support to the FMIC. Plus the extra throttle response wouldn't suck either...

through i give an update on my situation.

After searching long and hard i finally found a brand new Blitz Kit :P (found on yahoo auction) price was too good to pass up :(

my gtr plenum comes this week and hopfully the blitz kit will be here within 5-6days. i put some pics up of the kit once it arrive

I have done the sums many times for many people, no matter how I work it it ALWAYS works out cheaper to sell the RB25 cylinder head and excessories and buy an RB26 cylinder head. By the time you do the inlet manifiold, cams (RB26 cams are always cheaper), pulleys, bypass the VVT, lifters, valve springs, valves and then injectors (top feed are always cheaper), the fuel rail (the standard RB26 rail is good for over 650 bhp) etc etc.

Then you have the fact that the end result (of a hybrid RB25 cylinder head) is never as good a full RB26 top end.

I havent looked at the 26 plenums in detail... but couldn't you just plane off say 5mm from the first components that bolt to the head (do the throttles bolt directly up to the head on a 26?? I had a feeling they have a small manifold piece between the head and throts...), and get a 25 flange laser cut out of ally, and weld onto the planed off area? That would seem like the most simple, and cheapest method to me... mind you, i haven't looked at the 26 and 25 inlets in detail...

Laser cutting ally is cheap as... hell, take the laser cutters a new gasket for a 25 and they'll be able to cut you an ally flange piece of piss... (ie. used as the stencil)... it might cost you what... $100-150? maybe less (for the flange)... welding it would be the more expensive part, but even that should only cost a couple hundred at most... (welding + grinding the inside ports clean)

Maybe im heading off on the wrong track here, but I just haven't had time to look at the two inlets in detail...

You mean like this??

I'm going single throttle body with the GTR plenum welded to stock runners, hopefully it turns out alright :down:

That's a head setup worth grabbing. 1800 with freight say. A little skim and lap the valves and bingo, bolt right on. Covers and all. Might just grab it myself.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
