Dude - I'm on my P's and it's just not worth it.

Save yourself the money, and put yourself through Uni.

*Then - Then you can get a job that will buy you a GT-R.

ok for one this is for everyone it is costing me f**k all considering im doin pritty much all the work my self

im nearly a qualied mechanic and make enough to do this and pay off a house.

like i said idk care this post is just for people who wanna learn somthing about there n/a

20 thou grind? off what block? head? do you even know how much it could reduce the combustion chamber? or the compression? or the deck height? do you know you may even need to slightly open up the combustion chamber to a full circle to minimise artificle pinging and detonation

i am a p plater myself and yeah the rules suck. but it makes me just that little bit more excited that in november i can put my rb30de in, i have done 2 years of researching every part and i have done all the machine work so far and i am at an estimated 9k in just parts gaskets bearings cams supporting mods etc, and they are all at trade prices, and there is still plenty more parts to get gearbox breaks diff suspension etc

i have spoken to engineers, police, rta, nrma trying to workout p plate legal mods, from what i gathered in short anything you do that wasnt a factory option needs to be engineered, engineered certified cars are not p plate legal, 7 points and loss of license isnt worth it, you may be lucky and get a highway patrol with no idea but the odd chance you do will only make it an even longer time until you can drive it legally

well it takes me 3 hours to take the motor out and the rest its really not that hard f**k paying somone to do somthing so easy and the really depend how good the guy is at tuning
im doin pritty much all the work my self

LOL! Sorry man but you have no idea what you're doing...

"the rest is not that hard" yeahhhh right, go slapping an RB30 block under a RB25 head and see where your pig of a low comp ratio gets you.

I give the motor 5000kms before it shits itself. I doubt you'll get through the tuning. I don't think you realise how complex rebuilding an engine is and how involved tuning is mate.

Why won't young p palters listen to more experienced folks!??

hahah wat ever yous think idk i looked at your profiles nothing geeks who arfaid to get there hands dirty hahaha losers

Lol because everyone here details their whole lives in their profile? Sorry mate, i imagine most of us are too busy actually doing things rather than sitting on a forum dreaming. Good stuff though, keep it up, definitely keeps me entertained.

By the way, where do you work that pays you enough as an apprentice mechanic to spend that much money on a car as well as pay off a house? I call bullshit, you work at EBGames or Motoquip don't you? Unless you're talking about paying off the electricity bill at your mammas house?

have a cry

Lol i also don't think you can grasp the immenseness of the fuck we do not give. Go ahead mate, do exactly what you say you are going to do, you know everything anyway so it is obviously going to work.

Pity this thread is going to get closed soon, i'd love to see how very little you achieve.

hey man i work as a nissan interp and can tell you the heads of the DE an DET are different. Better look into it more because the DET head uses same parts but spings and a few other bits looks the same but made stronger and have different partNo.

If you do want to do these mods i can tell you its a mess to mod internaly on a rb25 because it took me just over a year too do it all.

It took me 8 months to source 20thou pistons from Nissan japan but it was worth it. Also recomend getting rid of the rear wheel drive and changing to GTS-4 even though its heavier , on a track about ...... a million times better than what the GTS does.

The intake alone will cost you about $4000 + because you cant just dump large amounts of fuel into a engine with stock air intake, not even a stock twin throttle body off a GTR with be a good enough upgrade you going to have to get individual throttle bodies built onto a custom intake manifold all running all of map sensors which will cost $2000 including tune and ecu..........so before your even at the engine i can see it costing $6000 jus because you need custom shit.

Pistons from japan, 20 thou are $3600 (but i brough the last set in the world nissan had in stock so too bad :( just have to get custom) you can use stock rods and shaft or buy the turbo models forged ones minus the pistons but thats a hefty $4000. The head is easy to get parts for because you can use the RB25DET parts and not have to work about fitting, it will be stuff mean to take a turbo pounding. But yeah its a good $2000 in just the 24 valves set up alone...... Cam shafts and gears aswell and a exhaust system ...... yeah the list goes on with parts but intake will be the most expensive part too do and too see 300Kw at all four your looking at $30,000 of a fine tuned machine.

Also remember about gaskets and shiming and stuff. I doubt you can do this yourself, a engine rebuild shop will have to condition your head and block and shim things so there goes some labour costs....

No offence too you by the way, im not a fourm warrior, hope this give you the general gist of the work involved. I have gone through my car internally and its cost $4300 and i had to stop there and havnt moved anywhere in 14 months..............things are expensive even when you get 50% of parts and do ALL the labour yourself (excluding engine reconditioning). Hope your rich!

i also don't think you can grasp the immenseness of the f**k we do not give. Go ahead mate, do exactly what you say you are going to do, you know everything anyway so it is obviously going to work.

fvcking lol martin! amazing burn!

i remember there was some guy on this site selling his RB25de r34 that he put 10k+ into and it sounded like he pulled alright, apparently it beat "most" dc2rs...but then he could have just brought an a gtt anyway with the money. having said that, this sounds pretty interesting, i remember when i first got my car i wanted to make it a beast of an n/a...

Almost qualified mechanic and raking in the cash?? LOL yea right. We all know what we say isn't going to matter. Go do what you want man. Feel like you have accomplished something. But once your massively built super expensive na rocks up next to a stock standard gtst and getS raped to shit don't cry to us.

Im a 3rd year apprentice mechanic and I'm selling my car to buy a house. So I know full well you're full of shit right there. Even qualified mechanics cant afford this.

My advice?? Keep the car, bomb the suspention and brakes will all aftermarket parts so the thing stops and handles insanely well. I'll guarentee you'll kill 90% of people through the twisties. Then build a crazy RB30DET on the side, boost up the fuel system and other support thats already in the car (cooling ect), and have the engine, ECU, and intercooler ready to drop in the day you get off you're Ps. Thats what I'd do.

Will you take my advice? Of course not. You'll me to shove it up my arse, because I know f**k all, I'm a dickhead, I'm a keyboard warrior, yada yada yada. Like I care! Martin, Cam and I are all on Ps and legally drive turbo cars! Well, I'm off my Ps now and Martins isnt turbo yet, but same same.

Have fun with your lancer :)

    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
