** grossly overdue update **

well it's been over a year and things are happening slowly, but at least it's happening!!!

Over the last year the car has had a full cams cage fitted, seam welding done apart from that it's been collecting dust :blink:

As for the engine - work on this has recently commenced. I've got James from NISSPEED here in SA doing the build - he's just successfully finished a RB26/30 build making over 1000 RWHP + nitrous! I'm hoping to have my motor completed by about July.

Things I have purchased and dropped off so far:

RB26 head

TOMEI cam gears

6boost manifold

tial ext gate

gt3076r

NISMO oil pump (not N1)

NISMO thermostat

NISMO engine mounts (to be used when doing a test fit of oversized sump on dummy block)

CP pistons 9.0:1 CR

Spool Rods

ARP bolts

ACL bearings

external head drain -> sump

oil restrictors for the head

MLS 1.2mm metal head gasket

ATI 1000 HP harmonic balancer

xtreme drift clutch

1000cc injectors

3 L surge tank with 2x bracket for 044 external pumps

RB30 block has been stripped, acid dipped - it is ready to be bored/honed

RB30 crank has been blueprinted/machined/cracktested - ready for crank collar

next stage of the motor is to send off all the main bottom end bits to be balanced. I think main items that I still need to get are Main and head studs, water pump, custom tensioner kit (NISSPEED), splitfires, 2 x external fuel pumps - so still a fair way off lol.

As for the car - that is going out in april to go get the front guards tubbed and then off for paint again!

I will try keep this updated :ninja:

Thanks

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
