im about to replace my water pump (have to do the timing belt so may as well do the water pump to be safe) is there much benefit in using an N1 pump over using a standard?

I didnt see any. Then again i never had any overheating issues.

i dont have any real issues but i have been told that to replace the water pump its the same amount of work as it is to do the timing belt so i figure i may as well do it while im in there.

Just received my BRIDE ERGO. Its like xmas this morning.

The Poncams do not need any adjustment,thats why i did not get adjustable cam gears.

RB26s benefit more from adjustable cam gears.

Dont have much experience with RB25 tuning but i know the Tomei Poncams in my old 26 liked a little adjustment. Especially on the exhaust side :P

I will ask my tuner to spend some time on making some adjustments to it.

I think the affect will be minimal, but hey more power is more power :)

I dont suppose anyone has a BRIDE seat rail they want to get rid of??? :P

I have HKS cams in my RB25 and the exhaust liked a little touch up. I also retained VCT, It was worth retaining I think for midrange but you do get a tiny flat spot as the solenoid opens that we could not really get rid off.

How long till it is ready to rumble?

Pick the motor up this week, the week after ill be putting all the gear on the motor. The week after that ill be getting it towed to my exhaust shop for all of the piping. The week after that ill be getting it towed to the tuners for the start up and the run in tune.

So will be a few weeks yet till we turn the wick up.

My heat wrap arrived this morning. Its called ThermoTech, has anyone heard of this brand? It says it can withstand constant temps of 2000F.

I went with the black as the white gets dirty to easy. 1inch wide by 15m long. Should do my manifold and dump pipe hopefully.

I hear stainless expands more than mild steel when heated. Would it be a good idea not to wrap it as tight as you would normally?

I was planning on trailing the wrap through water as i wrap the manifold so the wrap keeps its shape a bit better.

The black wears/burns/falls off. It just ends up looking dirty anyway. Looks great initially though.

It'll also harden up with heat so just wrap it tight so random bits aren't flaking off with vibration or when you brush against it when doing maintenence.

      6.3-8.3nm....pretty damn light those fine m6 threads in the aluminium retainer plate are very easy to strip

      Rear Main Seal (RMS)

      What are the torque specs for those 6 bolts on the retainer plate and 4 oil pan bolts? I'm currently tackling this job during an auto to manual conversion... I thought this would a 5 minute job!

      Forged piston skirt coating or no coating?

      By Desean Strickland · Posted

      Tryna decide if I should get a skirt coating on my cp 2618 forged pistons that im about to order. Anyone have first hand experience with a forged RB with coated or non coated piston skirts? Is it worth it and does it make much difference? And for people who went with 2618 pistons with no skirt coating how long has your engine lasted? The engine is an rb25/30 and main concern is  that It will be a daily car and will probably see a fair bit of short distance driving, have been told by my machine shop and my tuner that generally a forged engine lasts around 40,000kms before needing a rebuild. Would a skirt coating make much of a difference? cheers

      From now on read it as minus 5 and minus 7 instead of dash, and you're correct...

      R32 GTR fuel gauge not working despite fixing fuel level sender

      By XoRoKu · Posted

      Opened up the cluster to inspect the gauge itself for signs of damage and it looks good. Got curious since that needle doesn't go back to a "neutral" position by itself (it stays in the same position when ignition is off. so I manually moved it to 1/2. Connected it back, turned on the ignition and the needle started moving up! Not sure what's up with that but before that the needle was way down below empty like fully south west. There's always a chance that the needle moved slightly the first time I tried and I didn't notice because of how slowly it moves and how far it was from the markings. I don't know if the current needle position is accurate so I'll fill it up and see where that brings it. I guess I'll try to adjust it manually if it doesn't get to F. Looks like the needle position is relative and not absolute? Thanks all for your help and patience!
