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.

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.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
