hey, sorry if in wrong section, move if possible.

just wondering if ne 1 has moved there motors back? how far can u go before u start getting sump/ rack clearance issues? it looks pretty close

maybe no1s done it in a skyline but maybe in a silvia with a rb conversion?

ive got a r33 member and a r32 im trying out.

the r32 makes the motor sit 10mm further back than the r33 xmember. im chasing another 15mm. i can gain that easy just by redrilling etc: just wondering if ne 1 had done sumthing similar before i have a go at it.

btw this is in a dr30, im putting a rack in it by using 1 of these members, just need the motor to sit further back to suit previous gearbox/mountings etc.

cheers

I could be wrong but a local guy here was building a DR30 with RB25 (ended up using a SR20) am Im pretty sure he was using an S13 cross member instead of the RB to get it low enough and back enough in the engine bay.

Let me see if I can find his build thread/updates and I'll get back to you thumbsup.gif

Priso's old car indeed.

Wasn't able to find where he was posting updates (think it was NS.com) but might be worth shooting him a message and asking thumbsup.gif

      Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups.

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.

      Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet

      gauge needle removal

      By JC71 · Posted

      okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
