Anyone in here know of a place to get the push in fittings for RB26 cam covers with a 90 degree outlet?

NOT a straight then add a Speedflow 90 degree bend - that wont fit. Needs to be the same fitting that goes into the cam cover that's got the bend in it

Tap the covers and run a 90 degree male union?

Yeah if nothing's available then it's going to be something along those lines. Prefer to be able to just get something off the shelf of course though :)

EDIT: That is.......if if exists somewhere haha. Pretty doubtful but worth asking

I just want to know a couple things from you 400kw guys i wana know,

What sumps you guys are using if in melb where u got it from size cost and if from out of melb cost of freight

Can the std intake piping and cooler support 400kw ? Coz i wana try keep it for now cant afford it,

Std exhaust manifold port matched to gasket will it flow 400?

Cheers

Depends on what you are using the car for.

Street only, just buy a Tomei baffle plate

Any kind of track work we get Extreme Custom Engineering to make a custom pan and gated system to whatever size or shape or configuration we want. $1000-$1100 usually. They are in Brisbane. They do very good work though

They do fit.....you just have to cut them down lower before you weld on the -12.

Use a 90 deg on the intake side and a 120 deg on the exhaust side. Speedflow's new range of 100 series hose ends are all tight radius now. If they aren't tight enough then try Proflow or Aeroflow

Dan just to be sure, you mean modify the actual cam cover right, not the fitting? Because I cant see how the fitting can be modified to make it lower.

I'm sure if it was an 05U height block it would be direct fit, this is RB30 so on a 32 the bonnet clearance is shocking.

Have you modified any cam covers in the past? Got any pics of them once complete by any chance please?

Yeah we did it on a 26/30 in a 34. Custom bonnet though.

I did them at standard height. You can get them to sit about 10mm lower by cutting off the lump in the cover before you weld on the -12 fitting.

I'll try to dig up a photo but I'm not sure where.

There is also a mod using a landcruiser(?) engine mount which sits the engine another 10mm lower I think. I'm doing research on this at the moment

why don't u stick with the OEM fittings as then u won't have clearance issues (I didn't on my setup)...or is the OD incorrect for your plumbing?

[RH9GTR] has them on its RB26/30 in an R32 GTR with stock bonnet....check engine bay pics ;)

Seen that before. They rise up too much, it doesn't look factory enough for me - it's not only about fitment. I have a raised trailing edge so the clearance is fine for now but if I change that in the future it will be close but still should shut.

Stock ones look terrible IMO and means I cant use AN fittings which the rest of the engine bay has. And yeah that makes plumbing that little bit more fiddly.

Would make it a non cover removal job, and I'm sure other peeps would like some.

Yeah agreed, would be popular. Don't know if I can be bothered with all that though - don't really want to spend much time on this part of the car

Thanks that would be great!

I'd be keen to hear more about lowering the engine. I know several RB30's have been put in at stockish heights, but everyone seems to do it differently. There's a market for bolt in mount kits, so everything needed to install RB30 to R32GTR in one package.

Is it 1000 delivered? What to do with my sump?

$1000 approximation on a sump and you are asking if it includes delivery?

I wouldn't have a clue what delivery would cost you. I drive up to his front door, drop off a sump, tell him where I want fittings and what I wanna do with it and about 2-3 weeks later I get a custom GTR sump back

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
