Well after almost 12 months since the last one, i've just had machined 2 new billet girdles. One to suit a rwd RB and another to suit the 4wd rb30. This time it replaces the entire std girdle.

Testing will be carried out on an engine in the next 2 months.

they look the goods....but the real question......tell em the price son.

wont know exact price until i get the invoices, as soon as i know i'll post it up

Very nice work! what material did you make it from?

thanks. material is 7075

going to be a stupid question but i want to know lol

whats the advantage of this over a stock rb30 one with a 4wd adaptor plate? (for GTR)

*puts flame suit on*

the 4wd adapter is only a 'spacer', its does not tie into the girdle to the block.

this girdle ties everything together, the block, crank and girdle

Do you forsee any issues with the difference in themal expansion between the block and girdle?

Yes the thermal expansion rate of alloy is greater than that of cast iron, but i dont see it as a great threat to the integrity of the girdle.

When the alloy heats up, it will expand at a greater rate than that of the block, however there isnt any real where for it to expand to, it will actually give a tighter lock into the block.

This is one of the observations we'll be making with the test engine.

i think adriano was thinking the same thing i was. My concern (possibly unfounded) is that differrent thermal expansion rates would play with bearing crush... and or centricity

Beautiful!! :) Is there any reason you couldn't make one in steel, given a big enough lump of material? Here in the UK it's very hard to get decent line boring and honing done, they often end up a real pig's ear. How do you go on in Oz?

Cost. Itd be more expensive to make one from steel due to the time required in machining. Also steel isn't all that good for dampning harmonics, and add to that the massive weight of the thing.

We dont have a problem with line boring/honing if you use the right people.

    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
