plan for the worst.

turbos, and crank and oil pump. and if you dont need them then thats cash in your pocket.

Turbos have been rebuilt 2000 clicks ago by garret. brand new N1 oil pump has also only done 2000 clicks also. I will get them inspected regardless though, still gotta grab some cash etc.

i would suggest repairing the crank/new bearings

new decent oil pump (jun, nitto, greddy, tomei etc etc)

valve guides

sump extension/baffle (greddy the best bang for buck)

full nissan gasket set

and new rings

if you have more money chuck in a set of decent pistons and either arp rod bolts or a set of spool rods

and if you want to spend even more it will snowball and you will be up for around $20k

as dirt garage said you could quite easily use your stock rods for the build as they have been proven to hold the power. but if you have to buy a few new ones it'll work out cheaper going spool rods.

second set of rods = $200

resizing them $120

ARP rod bolts $120

the look on someones face when you make 467AWKW and run countless low 10's with them....priceless

i honestly doubt spool chinese rods would be stronger than stockers.

I'd take you up on that bet. $5 says they are stronger tuan the stickies.

Captain Metalurgy agrees with me too.

People just underestimate the stockies, that's all.

I will be taking dirtgarages advice for the rebuild, he is very confident in what he says and he has the cars to back it up. Just have to sort some things out first before I can proceed. Although I must admit my faith in the stock motor is wavering after my experiences. I am hoping it is human error and not engineering.

its unfortuately the fact you have no idea of the life the new engine had before you recieved it that has to be considered.

metalurgy yes...but have you taken into account the cross section of each item.

Id say we may be getting $2.50 each.

Sounds like a round at the pub to me

Either way, I've got a set of Spool rods you are welcome to dispose of for the test.

Have you got any standard rods you can part with? Would only need two

wtf? double post?

$100 tells me i can hear Noel telling you to get off the net and get your ass back in the engine room assembling 3 x RB26's.

I win!

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
