its not going very far atm!!

It smashed the oil pump to bits last weekend at oran park just as it hit the top of 3rd (9grand) down the straight.

Its all ready to repair now though, should have everything back this week from the balancer and get it back in next weekend in time for out next oran park round.

Dry sump is underway, sump pan is planned out as is the tank and the final thing to do is fabricate the brackets and mandrel for the pump.

Yep no stuffing around here. longest part is making the sump with pickups that will actually work.

I need it up and running again to finish sorting out the brakes.

Biggest problem I found with it last time out was getting heat into the rotors.

Its obvious that over a 5 lap sprint your not going to be able to heat up massive rotors, mine came good after 4 laps which is not really good enough either.

Gee wiz you guys kill engines quick. :glare:

Have you guys ever thought about racing a diesel? Lol

ROFL,,,Maybe a Radical with a wide seat might help.

GTR's love emptying wallets,,,great fun while there going though,,,,that why the boys can't help themselves.

What about an RB25det,,in 4wd,,,maybe it would last longer.

I saw a nice pretty cardboard box which supposedly contains a nice pretty new block belonging to Duncan while at TCH today. I'm told they don't want to be responsible for building this one, but will measure it up to make sure the crank and bock and girdle are all good.

I guess it's just one more engine to put together in the ol' Kenthurst workshop.

On the bright side, my head (the engine one that is) is in perfect working order (the other one I'm not too sure on). Nas and Anthony both reckon my first suspicion on the oil scraper rings is correct. Visible burnt oil on 1 and 2. Going to take the pistons over to be checked when I pick up the sump from cleaning on Friday to make sure. So should be putting it together on Saturday.

Sunday's out, so probably the next weekend to put it back in. Can fit a few engine assemblies in on Saturday if your new block and crank are ready. I'll do bottom end, you bolt on all the extra bits and we can knock 2 over on Saturday.

If anyone's after some head work, you've got to see the valve seat cnc machine that TCH have. It's just amazing! Computer has profiles for any block and all they have to do is drop the spindle into the valve guide and the machine does the rest. They can do a 24 valve head in about 20 minutes.

Hey Duncan have u decided on running a brake booster or not? what about power steering, anyone tried running without it and taking all the lines off at the rack? my mate runs no p/s in his supra with all lines removed and its remarkebly smooth and soft to steer, im thinking the less accessories on/around the motor the better :P what about the abs setup, if its deleted then how do the lines run, can u run the stock brake master cylinder still?

Beer Bitch and six pack great idea you cheeky you. Like Thomas Edison found many ways a light bulb would not work before he found how to make it work. Frustration and set back adds character and appreciation to the end result and success is a journey anyway, bla bla..

I thought about running without power steering but decided not, as the small weight and power improvement is not worth it , and with wide tyres it would be too hard to steer. 4wd even more load and suggest not. Definitely get the new Ross Racing balancer which has vulcanised rubber and two big O Rings. It absorbs resonance from crank better than factory one which RB26's need, and stronger. Also under drives water pump 10% and power steering by 20%, which will help with high revving race car. I would also go Greddy oversized pulleys. I did both on my zed and works well.

Peddle box is s a big job but one of the best things I did and brakes work heaps better and much more feel, booster is OK if retain ABS otherwise lock brakes all the time.

Hope this helps, and keep up the great work Mark and Dunc and keep your eye on the prize.

Hey Duncan,

Im in a slow process of doing my own 32 track car and i was going to get some lexan windows some time down the track just would like to know how they turned out and if it is worth it??

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By Duncan · Posted

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
