You are supposed to replace the clutch too?

How is the Nismo fuel pump?

yes if it is standard and i imagine the nismo one is expensive and not much better

CAS is Crank Angle Sensor and TPS is Throttle Position Sensor.

The engine won't operate correctly with the stock ecu... you will need to re-tune the stock ecu or use a piggy back etc.

I use a simple rpm window switch sold by JEGS in the US to controll the VCT.

Change the fuel pump.... by now it's at least 15 years old if it's the origional. You should be able to find a suitable drop in replacment from nismo etc... or even a low km GTR pump.

If you do go ahead with the swap, double whatever budget you work out... trust me. Also, before you install the new engine get it checked (you don't want to go through all this just to find out it's a dud) and replace ALL the service items- belts, timing belt/idler bearing, clutch etc... I'd also advise replacing the water pump and oil pump for a N1 pump with a crank collar if your going to modify the new engine.

The rb20 gearbox won't put up with alot of torque and abuse... go with the rb25 box.

What is a crank collar and why change the clutch?

Speak to a mechanic that can do all of this stuff for you, you are just going to end up shit creek if you have to come ask here about every single item all the time.

I like learning about things so that I will know what is going on.

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
