OK guys, basically the way this will work is:

I need your co-operation on the following:

Please state: Model, year & month (if not the first4 digits of your vin) & the first 3 digits of your engine number.

I.E. R33, Nov 95, (or alternatively ECR33-0633xx) & RB25-145xxx (could even specify S1.5)

from this information we can then compile a list to give approximations of what date an engine might be.

I.E. the RB26 list so far looks like the following:

R32 1994 45xxx

R33 1995 March 51xxx

R33 1995 May 55xxx

R33 1997 Feb 63xxx

Please only post if your car has the original eninge fitted thanks

cheers

Cool guys, i am actually going out shortly to check some of my other skylines and get there details, once i have those i will report back. that would be top work cartman. Cheers...

RB20 & RB25 numbers will most likely be all over the show as they were used in other model cars. But we may be able to get somewhere with it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
