i have a 1993 r32 gts with a rb20det conversion. i bought it this way so i dunno whats been done. power seems sweet up until 5000rpm, where it seems to hit some flat spots in power from there onwards.

hey i just though i would go back a little bit and add something in, in relation to drilling the oil return line into the block a way of getting around this would be to buy an oil cooler and run the o

And you're staying first quarter next year you'll have it all done?? Yeah Right!!! You won't last, you'll have all this in by xmas won't ya :D

I'm still finalising a few things but I'm hoping to have up n running this month in time for Xmas ;) Earlier would be better, should there be any other issues afterwards xmas wouldn't be the best time to sort them out lol

Can someone confirm the difference between an R34 4 Door Catback Exhaust and a 2 Door? One workshop tells me that they will be able to supply a second hand jap catback and that it won't matter if it's a 2 door? Or would they just customise it a bit? Oh that's another thing I don't have yet either..a turbo timer. I guess these can be easily added later though.

yeah turbo timers are easy to find for $50 & under.

4dr & 2dr catbacks are the same.

SSS autos in syd confirmed this for me.

lol narh it will definately be next year, im saving up for PFC now..

niiiice!!! Well that clears things up then... I've seen exhausts listed as being for 2 door and others for 4 door specifically, but yeah now that I've got a second confirmation that makes things a bit easier with buying an exhaust now.

Hey Vikz...you still selling your zorst? hehehe

What's the difference between the N/A and GTT radiator? Is there much difference? I would to an extent base a decision on that. If Nissan have used the same radiator then go with that initially.

After doing the conversion, see how it goes with the stock radiator, and then make a decision whether to invest in an aftermarket radiator.

I never had any issues with overheating, to be honest the only time I ever saw the needle move from its normal position was in 38 degree heat in stationary traffic on Smith St after sitting there for 30mins

Also in this thread are some pics of the top of my engine using stock R33 parts for plumbing, you could get a custom made 90 degree with BOV flange made, that would be prettier :( Ignore the dirt, it had been sitting at the recovery impound yard for a bit.

      thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
