atm i am just tidying things up and cleaning the metal up. then going to do the 100k service. then start buying and fitting new parts.

future mods to come-

Garret 3076r

external wastegate

custom screamer/dump pipe

6boost low mount manifold

hks adjustable cam gears

hks timing belt

256 poncams

greddy front facing plenum

nismo mounts

bigger injectors

hks rail

bigger fpr if needed

splitfire coils

haltech 1000 ecu

haltech race dash

mechanical diff

if you have any advice for planned mods or want to suggest different mods feel free to post... only if you know what you are talking about as i dont have the time nor want your advice if you have not tried it before.

as more money is available for parts and more work gets done i will update.

nut.

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.

well i have the starndard gts4 @ 4.311 rear centre in so i need to match that, think i will just swap the rb20 front centre into the rb25

if i am incorrect somebody please let me know.

which is what I am doing.

my new Jland wheels. :) 17'x9' unsure of the offset, hoping they will bolt up without any issues. they are made for a GTR so i may need spacers... can anyone could confirm the model?

if they are GTR then you may have trouble at the rear. I have issues with the BBS 17s I used on mine. they hit the guard.

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 biggrin.png

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?

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.

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.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
