Has anyone had any isues with the tensioner pulley or belt rubbing on the cam gear cover or lower belt cover going from the 30 build manual? It suggests mocking it up but that would be a lot easier said than done. I gather the general opinion seems to be setting the pulley out a further 1mm than the manual suggests so you get more movement on the tensioner.

Any info please..

I have been looking at this issue. I was going to ask the same question. Do you guys bother trying to 'cover' the idler, or just leave it hanging in free air? how does the belt go with road grime and stuff?

cheers

Thanks All!

Hole is in my block now so fingers crossed! I have looked at some other blocks and some seem to have some very different hole positions.. I am guessing it's not really thqt critical within reason as the tensioner has a fair bit of adjustment.

Hey Al, Nice looking motor! Looking at you turbo oil feed line (unless it's the water one?).. Are you running a series 1 block by any chance? If so would be interested to see what you did about oil and water feeds? I was planning on getting my oil feed from the pressure switch. and draining to the sump.. water is easy enough to put in where it belongs!

Any more pic of your build?

Cheers

psi: The plate is only held in by two existing bolts, so it's really easy/quick to take off. Not sure why you would need/want a hole for adjustment anyway; once the belt is fitted and properly tensioned you wouldn't need to adjust it again.

Thanks Lee.

Pretty sure it's a S2 motor.

Few more angles of the engine on the stand, not sure if you wanted to see any other pics; like the pistons, head porting, engine bay prep and completed engine bay, etc.

Nice pics!!

That does nicely thank you! What's the external oil filter housing part in the third pic?? Is that for an external pump or something?

What spec you got and what power are you hoping to get?

Cheers

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
