Hi peoplz,

Just starting a thread up for my project for every one to see and have there view on it!

Project: 84-86 31 Skyline

Engine: Nothing in bay

Conversion: RB20

I have bought the 31 from a good mate of mine and will be putting in a RB20.

I will be going to have a look at the engine next thursday, as well as the car and ill also be picking up some rims (stock steelies) just so i can roll the car to my mechanical engineer that ill be helping with the coversion, if i have any time off work! And to get the car registed with the new engine in!

I will have pics up of the car and the engine on thursday nite...

The mods im looking at would have to be Adjustable Cams, Turbosmart eBoost 2, Deceptor Pro BOV, FMIC, Walbro 040 Fuel Pump, High Flow the T28 and possibly an external gate, Apexi AFC Neo, Apexi turbo timer, and many more (just cant think lol)

hahaha bois haha

yeh soz thanks for that disturbd lol yeh ill be doin brakes but at first ill only be doin minor mods to start with then wen i get into full port polish and honed head and forged internals and bigger turbo and fuel and everything else is wen ill be doind brakes! But for now its just gona be a light build with just so i can rego the car!!! lol

Also mitchy ive gone and got the latest issue of hot4s and in that was a crx in one of the cruise pages for a honda cruise in vic and this car look massivly like a shitty stock crx but man oh bloody man the shit it had in it was unbeliveable hahaha it even had a black painted FMIC hidin behind the stock front bar and this thing FWD was runnin somethin like 185kw at the front wheels lol massive for a B16 FWD...

So i was actually thinking til i either get a custom front bar or a complete upgraded body kit (the one now is also awesome) ill prob go with the sleeper look for sure!!! hehehe just make it look like its just a plain old shitty rb30e skyline hahaha

R32 driver the 040 is walbro and the 044 is the bosch im pretty sure as thats wot was advertised in modyourcar.com... but ill deff lookinto it again haha

I agree

the brakes should be the very first thing done before any engine work begins

car pobaby wouldn't make it over pits without brake upgrade

you know brake should be first, but you're not doing them first?

regardless of if its a stock engine or not, an 20det puts out more power than a 30e, and after seeing the size of the stock brakes, i'm glad mine has 33 gts-t brakes all round.

    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
