RBish Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 just done water pump/timing belt/ exhaust cam gear/oil filter mount/rocker covers today, took the photos before the rocker covers and oil filter mount were back on. i am now planning on using all the stock manifolds, turbo, ecu, injectors just so i can get the car rolling and regoed asap. then collect all the mods and install them in one go and then tune it. other wise the car wont be ready for a year. so all i need now is the injector o rings which work is getting in for me next week, a blue relay, oil & fuel filter. chuck it all back together, remove the rb20, swap front diff centres, re-condish the front half shafts, drop in the 25 then wire the cluster :@ i have also just purchased a second hand set of light weight enkei rims 12 spoke 100% condition for a great price.

I have issues with the BBS 17s I used on mine. they hit the guard.

GTSBoy Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Not RPF01. RPF1. Just about the best, lightest, strongest RP wheel that Enkei make. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/387150-~nutzos-gts4-rb25neo-build~/#findComment-6278676 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBish Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 i made a good start to getting the motor out today, unbolted the ecu and removed the engine and dash loom plugs, dropped the tail shaft, the clutch slave, the bell housing bolts underneath, the starter, drained the front diff oil. unbolted the left front half shaft, had to leave the front tailshaft as i need some thinner spanners to get onto it, so i will do that tomorrow. removed airbox & all the piping, removed the viscous fan, drained the coolant & removed the radiator and shroud, unbolted and moved p/s pump and a/ compressor to the side, removed the belts, unhooked the throttle cable and moved it aside, loosened the fuel lines to rail so there ready to come off when the motors ready to come out. tomorrow will get a jack under the gearbox and drop the crossmember, lower the box so i can get the top bell housing bolts out, unhook the heater hoses, remove both front halfshafts, drop the k frame bolts a little to get some clearance on the front diff then unbolt the engine mounts and out she will come, hopefully i am not removing the gearbox as i font want to bleed the attessa, i have done a nismo fork pivot previosly when i did the clutch so will just regrease the input and new spiggot in the crank and solid gearbox mount and that will be fine. i also test fit the RPF1s on the front and they foul the calipers and the piece between upper and lower control arm so will definitely need some spacers... does anybody know what size spacers i will need to make the RPF1s fit?

Adriano Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Wouldnt it be easier to swap the sumps, then you dont have to reshim the diff to get the clearances right. As far as turbo choice, a gt30 doesnt need an external gate, as long as you get a genuine garrett exhaust housing, the internal gate is fine.

Chris Rogers Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 MUCH easier to swap sumps. UNLESS you are redoing that diff. been there already. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/387150-~nutzos-gts4-rb25neo-build~/#findComment-6293753 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBish Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 i was thinking its gonna be harder than people have said and i have reshimmed diffs before at tafe but after looking at the setup i couldn't see the shim so once i get the rb20 out i will look at swapping the sumps. i was hoping the car would be done at the end of the week but atm its more looking like the new motor will be in at the end of the week, with the wiring left to nut out.
