I have lightened the stereo setup in the boot & concerntrated the weight more toward the axle. yet to finish it off.

New Wolf V4 to go in.

Lightweight Flywheel & pretty blue pressure plate all thanks to ERD & NPC Clutches

300km/h speedo to go in next week

I was driving on the RS-R tyre the other day and I cant believe how grippy they are and how well they hung in there after 10minutes of understeering-over driving and our braking myself, ie they would have been way hot!

Shame I cant update the lap times in the Motorsport section, only Admin people can go back and update now :)

I forgot to get the print out when I was ther last, will grab it when the wolf goes in, plenty of scope for the Turbo left, can run the thing at 24-26psi I have been told by garrett & MTQ

I wont be using that much boost until I forge the motor tho, & even then I will probably be happy with 300-320rwhp as it is only a 2L & it goes like hell now with 280-ish @ 15psi & that should 300+ be with around 18-20psi

RB25Det NEO Engine/GBox/ECU has just been fitted & Mod Plated into the Lil War Machine :) so she is no longer a humble RB20.

Pushed the old gurl a little too hard at the last Time Attack Raceday & busted the Engine big-time. Cylinder 6 held compression when cold & leakdown test but as soon as the engine warmed up all sorts of nonsense started-loss in compression & leakdown failure. The engine idled rougher than a hairy goat.

So after careful deliberation & pondering what engine to replace the 20 with (ie 25, 26 or 25Neo) I decided on the RB25DET Neo Motor & Gearbox option-due to more modern tech & parts availability for future rebuilds.

Engine & Gearbox is installed & runs like a dream. Much fatter torque curve down low & with all the ancillary mods around it we got a respectible 222.9rwhp out of the Stock Neo trim with increased fuel pressure(pump®).

Big plans are in mix for her now with larger Turbo, Seimens injectors & that Wolf ECU I have lying around here somewhere. Also a half cage just to keep things relatively safe in cabin for the nutcase driver too :)

Overall goal is 350rwhp & final upgrade of Wolf V4 to a Wolf V550 as to run 2 fuel maps (98Ron & E85) perhaps to around 400-450Rwhp.

Only minors to fix like leaky power steering pump & we will soon see it back to bedlam mwahahaha.thumbsup.gif

use the mounts that come with the engine. they will sit the engine in the right spot. I did the same with mine.

todd ,

need to go for a strap with in it at some point.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
