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.

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).

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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
