I spoke to nissan, the numbers on the diagram are reference numbers only, RB25DE and RB26DETT valve spring part numbers are different, and R32 and R33 GTR valve spring part numbers are different also.

The guy from nissan assumed the GTR springs would be considerably stronger.

Thread revival!

Budget got raped...

large majority on funds were spent on the oiling system, still shooting for max reliability.

VCT has got the ass, mainly due to a pair of 272 8.8mm lift cams finding there way to my shed, possibly too large, but for $330 the pair, Im willing to try them out. :D

Starting to assemble the bottom end on the weekend, will throw up a few pics as it progresses.

I noticed that myself when I was stuffing around with fast. I just cbf updating the thread...

With the price of rods these days its worth throwing a set in.

If you decide you want to throw set of cams, plenum and 'decent' balancer at it then you feel safe to flick her to 8000rpm odd.

BUT. with 8000rpm you'll be pushing 340rwkw+ and most likely a gt35r unless your ringing the neck out of a GT30, not that ringing the neck out of a GT30 is a bad thing. Its a damn near perfect setup for the power IMO. The response and power delivery simply cannot be described other than a big power N/A with a big top end. I miss mine.

Just don't forget the requirement for a decent clutch and with 340rwkw comes the likely possibility of breaking an rb25 gearbox if the clutch and tyres are decent.

Torque breaks things.......

its been awhile....

in between holidaying, other commitments, work and losing interest in my car its finally running.

Well, has been for the last 9 months, still sorting out bugs that the car has/had.

Currently running on rb25 injectors, afm and ecu to put some km's on the engine and sort everything out.

First impression: drives goooood, drives well at low speeds, the IHI turbo isnt too laggy.

Now,

Inconsistant idle.

Sometimes it idles high, some times not at all.

Idle control valve?

Cheers

Just going back to the discussion about valve springs (as this is one of the first threads on valve springs to show on google :)), can anyone confirm if R34 RB25de also has the same valve springs as Rb25det? I know the camshaft has less lift.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
