A Boy's Love For His Rb20


Recommended Posts

Phil, No idea when first session is. I am guessing kicks off 9:30ish and may have had one session by lunch.

Still got std diff ratio and std 210,000km old gearbox. There is some money being placed on box not lasting the weekend. I have no worries. Old RB20 boxes are tough :rolleyes:

So the cams gave a sniff that there was more to come. The new turbo has given a sniff that the setup is moving in the right direction.

Seems my R32 is more 58 Plymouth Fury and she doesn't like the extra cubes in her and is playing silly buggers somewhere in the setup. Think dirving around with a head gasket issue with condensation in the exhaust on biref trips etc may have collapse the muffler in the 11 yr old HKS exhaust. I hope its something as simple as that because there seems to be an odd restriction somewhere that means we make ok power but not what we shoudl be :(

Meanwhile, I need this spend to stop so I can count my cash and go buy my Sierra an 80s dance partner at the end of the month

Dont know exactly. Tuner and I agreed not to worry about a number. Just run it up, leave plenty in reaserve re fuelling and lets get a good benchmark and some kms on it. Still needs work on fuel setup and cooler piping etc etc. Is somewhere around 300-320. Depends on whether we go for 16psi or 18psi. Dont care just want to it safe to get some track miles under my belt

That's the spirit! Track miles is what it's about!

Well engine seems pretty healthy. Only got two laps before hitting problems but the one lap where I came on to the straight with traffic I was still 24km/h up on my previous best stratightline speed. SO thing has a load more mumbo then the old 98 tune on the 20G.

The only pic from the day, idle in the pits :)

I think its the front right king pin bearing on the hub to upright. Tyre now rubs on upright :(

Funny you should say that, my 34 has just done the exact same thing :(

Engine bay looks great too Roy :thumbsup:

Me too! Kingpin bearing is flogged out. but i reckon mine has something to do with 295 semi slicks and lots of track days haha. They are sooo expensive to replace! Something like $800 each from Nissan Japan. They're not servicable. Gotta buy the whole upright!

Yep i just went second hand and will see how it goes :unsure:

The bearings in the upright (that hold the kingpin) are a serviceable item. I takes some pasence to get them out without damaging the upright, but it can be done pretty easy. I recently changed mine

Went through the same deal with Jimmy33t also, he found this number BRG A-KINGPIN 40030-33P12

Its the main one, any bearing shop can match the smaller one. Be careful of the lower seal, expensive item through nissan australia

...sounds like we need a tutorial developed for how to do the kingpin replacement - I'm concerned about mine now :wacko:

How's the gearbox going Roy? My 20 box lasted for 22 years (with 6 years of that mated to a RB25 making around 240rwkw) and it wasn't until I went for mega torque with my GT-RS that it started making bad noises.

Not that hard to change really, found a tapered roller bearing replacement also which has preload when fitted and no shimming required

Here is my graph. Pretty lazy at the moment as no boost or ignition really thrown at it at the moment. Not until we get some kms on the new engine and get the gearbox and rear end/diff fixed.

At the moment there is no EBC, just s soft gate spring with a bleed.

    • Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
