Just on the cam & lash pad problem he had: I'm using N42 length valves (ex USA) in my P90 head, but as I'm using a factory reground cam and the core diameter is smaller, the valve length is never going to be an issue. The after market new billets break to easily & therefore a factory re worked cam is by far, much better. The bottom line in any rebuild is DO THE RESEARCH FIRST then you can do the job right the first time. I'm looking at over 600Nm @ about 4500rpm on less than 10psi boost from my L Series. I would like to see the $$$$$ figure getting that from your RB, because I did the research for that some time back as well. Far too many rebuilds have breakage lists and I don't plan on having one of them at all.

Babalouie Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) Ahh, so you bought Jash's car? Awesome project The KGC10 build thread on PF is my car, whaddya need to know, Denzo? Oh and btw the issues I had with the L-series were 99% casued by the person who built it in Japan. We ended up starting from scratch, and the cylinder head was redone by Knight Engines in Adelaide, and Nathan did the bottom end and assembly. Ran sweet as a nut after that. Puts out 190rwhp and sounds great, so yeah I'm happy with it.

I dunno if it's gonna be the same in WA, but in NSW the engo accepted that Klippan non-inertia reel seatbelts were okay, front and rear. At the back, you'll find that the c-pillar sheetmetal and floorpan will already have seat belt mountings behind the trim At the front, it's just the regular Klippan kit, but with the longest available stalk buckle (i think 450mm, cos the mount is so far back on the tunnel). Umm...apart from seatbelts, I think I didn't have to change or add anything else for rego/engo. Tail lights and indicators (which blink red) were ok for the age of the car. I think the only hassles I had on rego were things like noise and ride height Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/328737-kgc10-skyline-2-door/#findComment-5358165 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 If I wasn't so committed to the R30's I would be doing something like this. I think these are great things. Keep us all posted on the progress. Cheers, D Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/328737-kgc10-skyline-2-door/#findComment-5358209 Share on other sites More sharing options...
