Nissan obviously had different engineering teams designing RBs and VGs...

yep. the same team that did the later subaru boxer...

stuff organised btw.

Morning Mangs,

The VG was considered one of the top ten engines in the world for a long time. I don't think the RB ever made the list.

Just saying...

Edit: Wait, I was wrong, that was the VQ not the VG. Please proceed with the VG engine out jokes.

From all reports it is a little beast of an engine, with the earliest VG30DET Redtop (mine) being the pick of the bunch. The heads flow better on the single turbo model, and the latter silvertop version didn't make as much power due to emmissions laws.

However, the engineering team clearly put no thought at all into making it easy (or even just not stupidly hard) to work on, unlike the RB.

It's actually not too bad on the engine out front (oil filter issues aside :P), there's plenty of room in front of the engine in the 31 spec engine bay. But having to pull the whole bloody thing apart to do anything is a PITA.

Legend, Thanks!

Ute obtained! I loves the interwebs, put a couple of messages out and BOOM! it's done.

Shame you sold the Sex-F, there would be no classier way to move house.

An excellent question, I assumed my work filter had decided to block it.

Will investigate when I get a chance.

SexF was great for moving house, moved all my sh*t including everthing in the garage, furniture, etc in a handful of trips.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
