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.

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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
