bobby, is john going to make a support for the turbo/manifold?

is he expecting any problems form the manifold warping?

Hi,

No need to support the manifold at all.

Well once the manifold is on the car and running i doubt if we have any problems his engineered it well enough to keep away from any problems.

The head is at Wilkins engineering to drill the holes. This will help remove air locks above the combustion chamber in the head. Once its done i will port some pics of the work.

I have done some wiring on the car, i have installed pressure and temp sensors before and after cooler using 4 core tefzel wire.

Hey Bobby, are you going to come to SAU Nationals and bring along that Z-Tune of yours? Im sure everyone would love to see it there.

Hey Ian, Sorry just have to much work on atm. You are more then welcome to see John on the way back as we are 5 min off the freeway.

So who is doing the head porting and assembly Bobby?

Cleaning of the ports have been already done, no porting required, and i have posted pics of ports. This was done by John Skola.

Motor assembly will be done by Trevor ( Johns Close friend) . I sent the head to Wilkin's engineering to drill the head to relief airlocks, and he also linished the throttle body shafts. Ill be picking it up tomorrow so ill post some new pics.

Graeme Wilkins and John Skola worked together many years ago on race cars. This is why John gave me the green light for Graeme to do some work for me as John does not know many people that are capable of doing the job correctly. Graeme is based in Seven hill on Stanton rd www.wilkinsengineering.com.au.

The head needed the holes drilled to relief air locks above the combustion chamber, the holes drilled are 3.5mm using a Mill and making sure you dont go drilling into the port or the headbolt holes.

While the head was there, Graeme has noted down many measurements of the work that John has carried out on the head. ie port shape port cleaning and final port size. So if you wanted your RB26 head ported in the same manner as mine (as i now john dont have the time to do it) you can always go and see Graeme to get the job done.

Also Graeme has milled the throttle body shafts, gave him one that John did and he copied them to all three. This will help increase the area in the throttle when opened fully for increased air flow.

Did you get the head on a flow bench?

+1 to Wilkins doing great work on heads

Yes the head has been flowed and sorry i dont have the figures as john has the file somewhere, once i find the file i will list it with the rest fo the calculations he has done. File is worth a mint !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbsup:

    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
    • Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
