Oh hmm... I should look into that factor... I was shown the other day some nice 8 pots that a member uses on here for racing with... able to purchase the full kit for $1,500 brand new... I'm keeping my eyes on it, and might buy it very shortly...

TT VH45DE they are, when i was doing the research in to it for 450sx i found that the maximum boost-able engine size is just over 4.5 ltrs for a s13. i believe it's 60 cc within the range. these figures were calculated using the weight of 1140kg stated as the factory weight times the factor of 4.82 for na and 4.0 for boosted. from the following link. the ADR limits are slightly different. so the maximum turbo or supercharged engine in a 180sx can be 4560cc and 5494cc for naturally aspirated. so imagine the engine that will able to go in a 1500kg skyline. http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/downloads/vsi/vsi_06_-_guidelines_for_light_vehicle_modifications_nov_2007.pdf Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/275110-180sx-vh45/page/9/#findComment-5880816 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't you meant to be using the bottom one? 5.46 and 4.68 for N/A and Turbo respectively? Isn't mono constructed like those one off builds/kit cars?

GTRsean Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Hi Cam, Standard RB26/VG30 spigot bush. No machining required, just have to knock out the automatic steel bush out of the crank.

GTRsean Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 You make it sound so easy lol. Wish it was so easy! I knocked it out with a cold chisel from memory, you could also mig weld a metal bar to it and lever it off... I like welding stuff! Get that damn car on the road Farch!! And, nismo used to sell side skirts for your 180! they look good as I saw on today.

MBS206 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 If the spigot bush has a hole drilled the whole way through it, you can try the old trick of filling the bush with heavy duty grease, and then hammer a steal bar that is machined to fit perfectly into it. The grease makes a perfect seal, and it can't be compressed, so it pushes the bush out. That's if the bush is hollow the whole way through. If not... Too bad, so sad.

Rolls Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 slide hammer, dynabolt, welded chain, grease compression, chisel and hammer were all the methods I was told. Slide hammer works great if it fits, if not the chisel and hammer + 30 minutes of bashing seems to also work.

Daleo Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Don't know if it's been mentioned, but torn up paper poked into the hole (newspaper works great), then punched (same principle as grease method) in with a hammer & punch works very well. Then you just flick out a mashed up wad of compressed paper fiber. Clearances need to be very close for grease method to work, otherwise it just pumps out around the punch; much less important with torn up paper. Amazing build BTW; love the execution.

farch Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 about 7 months ago i hit up ross tuffbond to make a custom balancer and was told it would take 6 weeks, the six week came i rang up and was told haven't had time. I gave up, and completely forgot about it, thinking it was never going to happen. well i got a call last week and this was apparently just finished!

GTRsean Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Well we got the gearbox back together finally. And the new intake setup is sorted too. We found that the BMC filter setup was too restrictive for the engine, so that got the boot and a replacement was found. That involved going to autobahn and ordering the biggest k&n filter we could get our hands on with a 90mm outlet. Then massaging (hammer ) the engine bay to fit the mammoth filter, which also required the 90mm airflow meter to be chopped. All fitted sweet in the end and the car now goes even better. Farch will explain his test drive later.... The 20cent coin in the second pic gives you an idea how big this thing is!!
