If your machining them and have access to a mwither well then cut them into a C an make a few different thickness pairs ;)

You'd be surprised how easy they are to change at the track and what a good running tool it can be once you are looking for that little extra grip in the rear without effecting the front too much.

Thanks for your advice Brad, much appreciated :)

Ended up spending a couple of hours on the lathe on Saturday making some aluminium spacers and bushes for the rear

We machined up two 4mm aluminium spacers to put in the rear of the subframe.

We're going to take your advice and make up a few 'C' shaped spacers for the rear of varying thickness's.

Some of you had made up some spacers for the rear subframe. I had done the same but 4mm all around. I see you tried different thicknesses and that someone mentioned 2mm up front (of the rear diff) how did that work out and what was the final spacers used? Did you have to make them into wedges so everything cleaned up evenly when it was different heights or they just fit right?

Also, my brake lines are banjo tight and the car is up in the air meaning its just too tight and may bust when dropped back down anyone else had this issue with these? Or it could be my N1 diff flanges are longer than stock...

Why did the Gibson nissan/bathurst GTR's have welded plates into the top and bottom of the subframe bush locations with crush tubes if it was going to make the geometry worse??? My mate did the fab work for their cars back in the day and said they wanted to get the subframe as high as they could. Think they couldn't change the arm mounting points? Can't remember...

All the money of a race team or randoms off the internet. I know who I'd be trusting.

So many people waste time and money on here. Why they just don't go and talk to the right people I'll never know. I learnt more in an hour with this escentric bloke than I ever learnt off the forums in 10 years.

Look at Nemo. Race car builders built a car and it was fast...wow who would have expected that....

Btw Steve's built 4-5 bathurst winning cars incase you wondering it he has a background in racing. That was his life for 20 years.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
