yea i have read it... more seeing if any skyline ppl have done it.. hints where to put the wiring through and so on!!

hey i have done it, make sure u go real heavy welding cable. the only hard bit is gettting the cable through the firewall nicely.

other then that, its pretty straight forward.

regards

The amount of people saying you have to run 0G/1G Cable is crazy, its not necesary, 4G can handle it quite sufficiently, in saying that ive run 2G To be on the safe side, Although my battery isnt in the back yet so its only running my amp. Running the cable is easy, down the drivers side and under the black metal thing under the rear seat, getting it into the boot was a bit of a mission but wasnt incredibly difficult. i ended up putting a New Grommet in the firewall though (top left corner) as 2G doesnt bend easily, and i wanted the cable tucked away as best i could.

silver GT, you are only correct if it was a short lenght. i was under that impression with my R34. i used 4g and i could barely start the car there was that much current drop.

i went 0g and its perfect. do it once do it right

      Coolant leak?

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.

      Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo

      Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
