My boss was speaking with your dad and brother and i got the impression it was running a 30 bottom end or was that another engine?

Yeah the article didnt make a few things very clear.

This Engine and gearbox is rwd as the whole combo is going in a c110 skyline I am building at the moment, I built this motor as I had a lot of parts I wanted to test on it, for example I am mocking up a dry sump setup at the moment and it is cheaper to test it on this motor that already runs numbers, amd runs perfectly than to try it on a fresh engine that has not been run yet. This car has a 30 bottom end half completed for it, and it will be awd auto when that combo goes in. I hope that makes sense.

Also the rb25 block was choosen as it is easier to run the rwd sump (ie the tin one) than to cut a good 4wd sump and make it rwd as you would have to do for a rb26. Also this was a really pristine rb25, and it has an rb26 crank, rods, pistons, head so is more or less a 26 now.

Thanks for the comments guys cheers

I scanned in the cover but my scanner isnt big enough and its pretty bad quality.

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
