Gents,

Well the time has finally come.

After years of being on the forums reading and watching many fine cars get built, I have finally taken the step to rebuild my motor.

After all, for a 21 year old birthday present, what could an old Datsun want?

So,

After many ear bending conversations with people both on and off the forums, I made my mind up to build a motor.

2.6 fully built or a mild build that keeps the car within the design plan set out from Nissan or go a slightly different route.

As a few of you will understand, I got hooked on track days / nights here in Perth.

And having been bitten by the bug, the idea to take the next step started to develop.

All of that changed though, after Gav let me have a few hot laps in his GTR.

Needless to say the 2.8 bug bit and bit hard.

I was gob smacked at the liner power delivery and the big fat torque band that the motor had!

I had to have one.

Finally after months of searching I came upon a brand new unused step 2 2.8 HKS Kit here in Perth.

I sorted out a price for the kit with the previous owner as well as snapping up a brand new N1 Block as well.

(Unfortunately the previous owner didn't go through with his build)

So i have the ingredients to start my build.

As items are purchased I will throw up the photos.

And a comprehensive photographic build library will be constructed.

At this point the goal for the car will be 480 - 500 RWHP working on 90% of the motors capabilities.

If I get more so be it, but the car will be mainly used for street and track work (1 Track meet a month and about 1000km's a month street)

I am going to build it right from the get go and hopefully not have to do it again for a very long time. (Touch Wood)

Parts List to source at the moment **

HKS Oil Pump

N1 Water Pump

Hi Octane Steel Fabricated Sump

1 Way Front Diff to be installed

HKS Fuel Rail

HKS Injectors

Nismo Fuel Pump

New Head with Port & Polish

1mm Over size valves

** Will add to the list as I have time.

So it is not complete at this time.

Forgive me for the quality of the photo's

I was in a bit of a rush to get home.

Cheers

Mike

Running HKS 680cc Injectors with HKS rail and NISMO 280 P/L Fuel Pump

D-Jethro PFC will run the whole shebang

Car will remain as she does in the picture.

* have removed the Blacksun Imports stickers off the flanks

Nice choice mate i think you will be happy with the outcome. RB28 is one of the best combos around IMHO but in saying that I may be slightly biased. Check out my build thread I imagine it is probably along the lines of what you are aiming for. I will have a few updates in the next week or so now i have finnally managed to find some time to devote to it

Dazmo,

Your thread has been read more times than I care to remember.

ABM,

Andre is not building my engine.

However it is being built at one of the the more well known and proven Workshops here in Perth

Marcus,

Incoming PM

Not sure on the coating,

However everything is band new and only opened by

Me today.

So I would "assume" that they come from HKS as seen in

The picture.

I will follow up on your question however and let you know the answer.

The nickel coating is applied more so for scuff resistance or to aid in the reduction of friction, rather than heat disbursment. I think its a nickel ceramic composite that is applied. Correct me if im wrong!

    • 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.
