I had a quick look, I cant see if anyone suggested two different engine mounts???? Perhaps an rb20 mount or rb25 one on one side and standard on otherside???

Does that class as outside the box???

Its not my place to say it here so I won't.

Adding spacers to the rear of the bonnet works though :P

Just do the marko and cut that bracing!

It's still using standard RB26 mounts :(

If you want it to fit, take your car to Mick at Signature Performance in Raceview QLD :P

I know that Paul probably knows' how to do it, he has been talking to Mick ;)

Fitted my Sil80 road rims/tyres to pass rego as the tyres on the Enkie's have bald inners due to shit alignment crap castor.

Here's a few pics

Just fkn tell us already!!

Mine "fit" without changing anything but the bonnet just barely closed, and that was with spacers.

Now I have slotted the engine mounts and gained some more clearance (2WD platform) but I still want to know wtf you did! Please don't let this question drag on for another 6 months!!

I was going to suggest that the timing covers are 'off' early this morning....but I didnt have anything to compare too.

Just checked out the pictures again. Drivers side high point been ground down...

lol just looked again and now im not so sure :cheers:

Marko thanks for putting us out of our misery. Unbelievably (because I wouldn't expect anyone to believe it now) when I did mine I fleetingly wondered about RB25 covers, knowing that they are slimmer. Didn't think it was enough to make a difference though. And I was a bit dogged about keeping the RB26 ones. Bugger!

ive had an abundance of pm's on this thread so here is the answer...the engine covers are not rb26 BUT rb25 (or was it rb20) :unsure:

errrr.. but in the photos he still has a RB26 cambelt cover on.. and this is one of the main parts that interferes with the bonnet - my engine covers don't hit at all - only the twin turbo badge and the RB26 Cam-belt cover.. How does changing the engine covers help Marko? Am I missing something obvious?

Really appreciate that someone has actually told us something though - rather than just dicking us all around.. after all this isn't a secret internal engine mod for more ponies or some tuning secret - its just how to get these thing to fit without cutting the bonnet and another step toward making the car 'legal'.. just what forums are for I would have thought.

Any more info other than engine covers Marko?

I understand your view but if u reduce the height via cam covers then marry the rb26 front cover to suit the new height the clearance is accomplished...or just use the rb25 front cover as well

Anyway, once this mod is done it doesn't address the clearance issue with the twin turbo pipe as it will rub the paint off if resprayed like mine?

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
