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!

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
