might be worth looking in to what would you roughly be looking for them to bend up a basic cage if they are not to expensive

thanks tim

A 6 point bolt in cage with harness bar for a S13 Silvia was $1050. Add $240 for side intrusion bars. I imagine an R33 would be slightly more due to the extra size but shouldn't be a great deal more.

They charge over a $1000 to install though, so would be best to do this yourself or get someone to do it for you which is what I am looking at doing.

thats all good i like a challenge thats why i want to build the whole cage not shaw if ill bend it up my self or not yet but ill have at least a month to decide

and also every time some else works on my car they stuff it up thats why the plan is for this car to do evry thing my self decides machineing of the the motor

a bit of a update while iam waiting to get my engine crane back me and a mate decided to start on the manifold on my other car so there will still be some process this week

the manifold will be made out of 1.5 inch steam pipe with 500 mm runners

here is the progress

i ordered most of the parts for the motor today

i ordered

cp 20 thou over bore pistons

argo rods

arp main caps

arp head studs

tomie type b valve springs

tomie 270 by 10.3 cams

bronze valve guides

acl race series bearing mains and bigends

i will order 1mm oversize valves soon

along

and will be starting to port the head soon

still undecided on alot of things

like is it worth buying a front lsd

or should i changed the rear diff from active lsd to 2 way lsd

or if i should go dry sump this time

Great build so far!

I am interested in how you go with the rear diff, I was hell-bent on getting rid of my A-LSD on my Vspec but recently I have changed my opinion on it. I got in contact with a guy from the States and he uses it on track spec GTR's over there. There is a sticky in the Drivetrain section on A-LSD maintenance which I am keen to try.

If I were going to get a LSD from the front I would look at the Quaife option.

Anyway, good luck.

i originally wanted to keep my active lsd with my old car so i got it rebuilt and it was good again for about 4 track days but last time i went out it was strarting to single spin again thats why ive been considering changing it but i might have to look in the drive train section thank for the help

as for the quaife lsd that would be the one i got three of my mates have them and any lsd that has a lifetime warranty sounds good to me but so far quaife havent helpied to my emails so i might have to try looking some where else to get one

Sorry this might be off topic but if you wouldnt mind letting me know what you had done in rebuilding the A-LSD, you can PM if you like.

I think Just Jap have the Quaife LSD's for sale, but I would buy direct from them if you can (make sure you get that warranty).

it was ment to have a new pinion and crown wheel and was reshimed and a whole lot of other crap but to be onest im not shaw what was done and i wasnt happy with any of the work that the work shop done since then ive done every thing my self and will do as much as i can on this one

sorry i couldnt help more

dude this thing is gonna be nuts!! good stuff! ill be checkin for more!

thanks mate i hope it will be

a bit of a update i ordered n1 water and oil pump today and adjustable cam gears ill get photos when i get some good progress or parts start turning up

and also the car is completely stripped minus the dash and the doors and suspention and im about to start seam welding it

what im wondering is it better to stich weld it or completely seam weld it

ive herd good and bad about both stiles any imput would be appreciated thanks tim

ok any reason why you say no to the n1 pump

A disproportional number of them seem to fail. I don't know the technical reason or if there even is a technical reason - i've just seen and heard about a very high number of N1 oil pumps failing compared to tomei. Perhaps someone wiser can enlighten us.

    • Assuming the current ECU is stock, it might be worth getting hold of a nissan data scan cable. It could be as simple as voltage at the ECU
    • You need to test for spark when it matters - ie cranking. Kill the fuel supply, pull a plug and earth it, set up a camera and go crank. The spark needs to be consistent, every other turn of the engine. Not some sputtering of occasional spark. The reason I say this is because spinning the CAS in the air is not the same as spinning it installed, and if there is a bearing problem in it, the disk might work differently in the air than in the engine. You won't want to try to set the timing unless you know the spark is happening right.  Also, reconsider running the R35 coils against the stock ECU. They like a different amount of dwell cf the originals. It's not massive, you can actually run them, but it is better if you can adjust the dwell (which you can with Nistune in the stocker, or with an aftermarket ECU). Besides any of that - when you had the multimeter out, have you got power where it needs to be, earth where it needs to be (and when, in the case of igniter triggers), etc?
    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below
