hey all i am slowly building a 26/30 for my 33. i have gathered that a 26 loom or would be the best option. however is this a job that can be attempted by an amature or should be left for the pros.

also will be upgrading my PFC to a 26 unit. what are you opinion on the D Jetro unit or stick with the standard AFM unit?

Yeah you should be right to swap the loom out yourself. Basically just involves taking the kick panel out, unplugging the ecu/acc plug and ign/eccs relays. Then remove the plastic underside of the gaurd which will expose the loom behind the front quarter panel, its easier to then removal the quarter panel itself as well just gives you more room to play with. Then just remove both the rubber seals and the loom will start to come through from the inside of the car.

As far as wiring is concerned you can also do this yourself with a bit of guidance. I am not entirely sure but I think you may even be able to plug the 26 loom straight in to the white accessories plug from the standard r33 dash loom which would make it a plug and plug job.

Verify that with someone else but.

As for the power-fc, that all depends on how much power you want to achieve, the standard gtr afm's have enough scope to see you make some decent power, I think 250rwkw has been achieved with them pretty safely. After that you start to walk into z32 or nismo territory which starts costing decent money, apart from the fact that you need to do additional wiring as well.

You do have a menu option in the standard power-fc for 2x rb25 gts-t afm's which are cheaper to setup and will handle just about any power you can throw at them, obviously also requires re-wiring.

Personal preference but I would spend the money on the d-jetro to begin with and be done with it.

Dont know much about the R33 side of things but I am currently putting a RB26 loom into my R32 gts-t with a PFC d-jetro and I've had no problems so far (apart from knock sensors being different thread and not having that part of the engine loom), I dont have all the bits of the loom so I'm going to wire the ballaster resistor pack into the engine loom myself much like the RB20 gtr injector upgrade (in the DIY section). I still have to check that all the wires on the plugs inside the cabin have matched up with the right wires on the car plugs but everything seemed to fit perfectly. Will let you know how I go after Wednesday when I get it tuned.

      Rb26 stroker Piston Kit 2.8 77.7mm

      By DrR34Gtr · Posted

      RB26 JE pistons to suit 2.8 stroker crank 77.7mm and 86.5mm bore Custom made with EN plating and Je perfect skirt.  Valve pockets Suits 1mm over valves biggest lift you can throw at them. 21mm 210” wall 9310 upgraded wrist pins to suit standard sized 121.5mm rods. I had these made for my build but block had to be rebored to a larger size so sadly I can no longer use them. I spent a-lot of time and money on these pistons.  See photos these are the Heavy duty forging in 2618 material with all the bells and whistles accumulator grooves double force fed pin oilers skirt milling window milling etc.  The En plating was done to the whole piston this helps with heat and also critically in the ring grooves to prevent ring micro welding. The Perfect skirt is JE's propriety coating its a permanent coating that expands and contracts with the bore to prevent piston slap and noise and also friction. you can look these features up.  They have been balanced to a tenth of a gram at my expense. They come with Gas nitrided ring pack's and oil ring rail supports all brand new never used. The Dome volume is 17.9 cc which based on your Gasket thickness and chamber volume can put you anywhere you like in terms of Comp ratio in my case it was just under 9:1 but this is highly customizable for your build.  In terms of sizing these pistons will work with any 77.7mm build using the normal sized rods.  I did buy an extra set of rings at the time of purchase incase i stuffed one up during gapping so i will throw these in at my expense. I purchased these through performance wholesale in Brisbane and still have the receipt if you were to make these now it would cost more then double what i have them listed for. I am super fussy when it comes to building motors so you will see they have been measured and numbered with marker in the photos. Every thing has been handled and stored with the utmost care and diligence. looking for 2350 ONO any question please ask. test is better 0450 428 895 they will be sent via registered post anywhere in Aus free international buyers contact for quote.

      Elevated lead levels in oil - Engine on borrowed time?

      By PranK · Posted

      Ok that makes sense, I was circling around the idea that this kind of wear would only occur with too long intervals between oil changes but I see what you're saying about the cause being something else.

      98 ER34 GTT idle races, if AAC is unplugged, then idles perfect

      That's perhaps not even correct in this instance though. If the OP were in fact to bin all that troublesome crap and convert to DBW, and then if the problem persisted, we would at least know that it was not caused by any of that troublesome crap and he could go looking for it in more likely places. AND... he would have a significant upgrade in niceness to go along with it!

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What has an oil change got to do with whether wear is occurring or not? Wear may be facilitated by oil having been left in too long and broken down - but it is far more likely to be a mechanical issue (ie, pressure). The thing with the tested oil being only 5000kms old makes it perhaps equally likely to be lead from bearings or lead from the additive.

      By PranK · Posted

      I had a thought. I still haven't confirmed what additive was used but, the oil from this analysis was only 5,000 k's old and I believe was Mobil 1. Given that the oil was good and fresh, would there still be wear in the engine? What I'm trying to articulate is, I understand that internal wear will happen with incorrect viscosity or not changing oil enough (and maybe other reasons also). But would the wear continue to occur when the oil is changed? Surely it would stop wearing, ie the damage was done? If thats the case, could this suggest maybe that the lead count is not wear? I dont know if that makes sense. It does in my head.
