Unfortunately not until new year now, won't start it again without the correct balancer.

She punched out a massive 200hp on 6psi with some terrible timing :rant:

Bonnet didn't shut in the end, fowled on twin turbo pipe, so that's being changed to sit lower.

Twin turbo pipe changed, bonnet closes like a dream baby :)

Pick here up monday :)

What pipe are u running out of interest? All i did to mine was remove the twin turbo badge then grind off the boss which held the badge, about 10mm off the height was saved :blush: then craved coatings gave it another fresh coat and it was just enough to clear the bonnet. Have u still cut the bonnet bracing or does your new pipe allow for this?

Hi Marko,

He didn't say (car still in workshop) other than the bonnet closes. He did say he didn't need to cut the bonnet though :blush: i'll see it on Monday and let you know. Great work you were able to make yours fit :)

I can't wait to drive it- it's been 6 months!

Could you clarify on the "modded mounts" please :banana:

takes about 5mins.... ours literally sits on the xmember... we have to re weld removed material to bring it back up a bit :banana:.

If i drop the xmember 15mms and do you think i could fit this http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v489/r32...at/DSC01070.jpg

hi-mount turbo without affecting the suspension/awd? (HKS kit which currently needs the bonnet frame hacked to clear)

Same turbo kit as this car

i dont think dropping the engine 15mm will solve the problem - besides that, when the engine twists under load it will still touch the bonnet bracing.

are u sure u want to drop the engine lower? ...i was advised by rob @ rips not to do this as it changes the geometry of some of the important components i.e. cv joints

Cheers for that Marko, guess i have to find another way to make it fit :D

well i cut my bonnet to fit my rb26/30 (to clear the cam shaft covers & twin turbo intake pipe) - if u dont like the look of cutting the bracing u can simply just refit the bonnet insulation & u wouldn't even know it has been modified :D

      Wheel refurb?

      The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
