they seem all really good prices for what your getting except the engine mounts considering i only paid 50 bucks for new set here in aus...

and rolls you don't need stock wheels to get through regency i went through with my keiichi tsuchiya modia's 17x8 on front 17x9's on the rear as long as your on track or under your fine... mine were even sticking the slightest bit out the guard and i only mean just but i got away with it hehe :whistling:

I did forget about the injectors, 440cc 7mgte supra injectors for 100.

You are doing all this head work and talking about cams for response etc...but you want to run a hx35 truck turbo and the cast manifold?

why?

To the OP.

While I love doing things different, there is a reason why many people say stay away from building the RB20,

Hell even Roy who loves his RB20 to bits and i'm sure he sleeps curled up on the cam covers he hasnt pulled his out and built it. The reason being is that for the max 300rwkws that a 20 head will make the standard rods and slugs are perfectly fine.

If you are concerned about the engine being a little tired than just throw some new rings and bearings in it, a good oil pump and be done.

Total cost if you cant do it yourself would be 1500 bucks, and will live for 5+ years if you look after it.

Consider what the bump in compression is going to do to the response. I have shaved about .050 off the head, this should give me about 9.2-1. I have the 8 blade hx35 so it spools faster then the 7, and am getting a 3 angle valve job. It may not have the best response, but I think 7psi at a hair over 3k is posible. On 7psi I should be in the 300whp range. I will take that all day long.......

You are right, the issue is 95% of peoples rims are over track or the offest it wrong, also people put mismatched skinny tyres etc etc on them. Much easier to just keep a set of stockies for regency trips.

I got the head back and started woring on it. I also put in for some arp studs.

I have almost finished on the ex side. All I did was remove the bump caused by the stud and smooth everything out. Going to do a little more to the in side, but not a whole lot. Mainly clean up, but I do plan on softening the splitter in the port. I will try to get pics up as soon as I can.

No flow testing, I just dont have the time or money to get it tested. I have had a few guys looking at the head, from what they have said I should see a pump across the power band and a slightly faster spool. This is based on only making the splitter on the intake side a little smaller, and removing a little from around the exhaust valve stem and the stud hump. Both sides get a smoothing out. I dont think I will see big gains from this, but I should see some. I think I will see 7psi (hx35) at just over 3k, and 15psi at just over 4k. Thats 4500rpms at full low boost and 3500rpms at 15psi. I am thinking about 22psi, but want to get this thing going good on 7-15 first. I dont want to push it too soon.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
