Rods - stock is fine

Just a set of pistons... get the crank checked also. If its far gone just get a R33 GTR crank and not worry about collars etc.

You'll only tell that once you get it looked at.

Otherwise good list of parts.

Dont really need oil return from the back of the head if the restrictors are done right, i dont have a drain :worship:

sweet as i was thinking a tomei sump baffle , what do u recon?

also i read somewhere on the forum that its better to use Nissan piston rings in the Rb blocks due to the beading in process... should i use these or use the ones hat come with the wiescos???

also head studs???

main studs???

Dont really need it IMO. Some will say you do, ive seen club day circuit GTR's with your power run for a few years without.

So unless your out there ALL the time, 10 times a year or so, probably not needed. Certainly not for a streeter.

Not 100% on the rings, i couldnt imagine a RB block being different in terms of getting the ring setting.

ok, i have changed my ways abit, i have sold off the dash 7's and the managment today,also my rb30/26 pistons and rods, i have also sold my gt80 and now have a to4z

im going to use the parts off my other car onto this....

sofar i have

hks 272 10.2mm lift cams

hks springs to suit

bronze valve guides

1mm oversized ferrera valves

hypertune plenum

85mm tb

jun pump

custom sump

bare virgin block

virgin r33 crank

motec m8

obviously this will make a shitload more power than the quoted 330awkw, ive had a look at some of the dyno figures in the fi section, ive been to afew shops today and asked about a piston and rod combo for a RELIABLE 450awkw... everyone has different outlooks on different brands, one guy says this, the other says that....

i have come up with a combo which ive been told that will work very well, je pistons or mahle pistons and a set of manley turbo tuff rods???

will this be adequate for a reliable 450kw, or is it overkill???

any more combos yous know of with firsh hand experience???

cheers

i sold the gtr and am now concentrating on my rb s15, a build should cost u about 7000 to 9000 depending on where u go, the build i have atm is costing about 16,000 bvut is full house everything, in my 26, i also have a 30 which i will bolt my big turbo on and put a auto in later, the 26 will have a to4z and a 25 box, want to run consistent 9 second passes with this setup, the 30 even quicker

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
