No tyres except bald A050s, and car is broken...ditto my Sierra which I am still fixing...so no:(. All my efforts are going into Nationals and by efforts I mean money. Still, the R32 is capable of a few 0-400mtr blasts but not much more :(

your 20 finally on its way? I don't believe lol

There are some not so great signs...it boiled all its coolant and burnt about 1L of oil the the other week when it split a heater hose under the inlet manifold and overheated in peak hour on a Friday night. Changed all the coolant lines/hoses but some strange things still happening which concern me. Its now just a matter of time I think

I sold my DE+T setup to a dude with this bright orange S14 and installed it for him as part of the deal. It left me running smooth but not liking boost too much due to rat shit battery terminals and holes in his cooler pipes. I told him to fix the battery and leaks then come back so I can set the timing as his crappy voltage meant I couldnt get the timing to lock. I also investigated why his heater wouldnt work, and found it to be that his core had been looped. I told him I assume this was due to the core leaking and recommended he doesnt reconnect it.

Brings it back a week later with the problems 'fixed' and its running like a total bag of shit. Heater has been reconnected and suddenly the water pump is pissing out fluid (assume it got debris from the reconnected heater core in it and rooted a seal). Not a drop of coolant in the radiator either. Cooler pipe has duct tape covering the holes and the afm has been pieced back together with gasket goo. I do my best to look for possible issues and problems but it still runs like ass. in the end I also felt like I was mostly being blamed -_-.

Point of the story, prior to me selling that motor it was only 45ks old and ran faultlessly. One little overheat and its turned into a pig. I hope you havent done too much damage Roy :( your little RB has been heroic over the years.

Got my Kando oil feed at my desk after ordering on Fri- absolutely brilliant service even though he didn't respond to my query. Thats what I ordered and looks like what it is in the pic:

But the plastic bag has TOYOTA 1JZGTE on it haha, is it the same part/fitting for the 1JZ/RB25..? Lol. It also has the code 2000-930-821 written on plastic bag sticker/tag.

Kando says the part number for the RB25 line is 2000-930-821

so RB25 and 1JZ probably have the same oil feed thread pattern. No big deal.

But WOW what a way to get shut down LOL. ra ra ra he wont reply, ZING its at your door in 3 business days hahaha. Quality item for $41 delivered. Winning!

Yes man absolutely, no reply to my email, then next day I get a tracking no. on ebay, then couple of days later its at my desk in the morning before I am! lol

That oil feed restrictor does look tiny though, bit skeptical if its good enough as its meant for an oil and water cooled garret T3/T4 core, whereas my PTE 5558 (still T3/T4 core) is only oil cooled.. turbo blowing up from lack of enough oil? hahaah :no:

Edited by rondofj

There are 2 ways to do the oil feed for that turbo.

1: A standard 2 bolt T3/T4 fitting like what Ron has bought

2: use a 1/8 NPT male to -4AN male adapter and then the same kit Ron bought but with the 2 bolt flange removed. The 90 degree fitting at the end of the line is -4AN.

The difference between options is $10 worth of alloy NPT adapter... HOWEVER I have found those NPT fittings to be quite soft and I wouldnt want shrapnel in Rons motor at the hands of an overzealous first timer.

So option 1 it was!

lol I doubt it ron. The innards of most braided oil lines is that small anyway mate.

Keep in mind that an oil feed restrictor for BB turbos is normally half a mm (0.5mm) or similar.

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
