Hos high is the turbo sitting? Or is it just the angle of the photo. Would think you could have bonnet clearance problems, or at least need to protech yourbonnet paint from temps? .. Great looking engine

That is how it sits, it will clear the bonnet and i have reflective high temp adhesive above the turbo/gate.

What turbo, I thought you were going to order a GTX35?

Its a GT35R, the new head and turbo (GTX35R) will go on just before powercruise.

Is that a standard water pump??

Standard RB30 pump.

Engine bay looks nice and clean!

Why is the turbo so high?

lol. I remember a bloke with a super high single and bonnet closure problems.... who was it again? :ph34r:

and I do enjoy the VL super high mount. be a bastard cleaning all the dead bugs out of the mesh though... :down:

Seeing as i work nights i dont expect many phone calls or texts at the wee hours of the morning, so i was a little surprised at 2am when i get sent these:

Paul was up all night putting some finishing touches on the engine before the install this week. The hours spent on this project to date can add up to weeks. All the fine detail work takes alot of time!

I am very grateful for all the effort he has put in on this thing and i believe it is as much his as it is mine.

VCT? its still a 25 until next year?

I thought the stock VCT was just a solenoid on the left which interacts with the head, didn't think it did anything with the cam gear. I also thought it was on the exhaust cam only, but could be completely wrong.

Reason I ask is there are full adjustable (change based on rpm) cam gears that look similar to what is on his intake cam, they are around $3000 though from what I've seen, fairly complex piece of hardware.

nah, take a look at all RB25DET cam gear covers, all have the bulge for that camgear

    • It's almost certainly a reluctor generating an "AC" waveform. No, ECUs don't generally read those - they're usually set up for PWM square wave 0-5v stuff.
    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.
