you should look at it now because you will only be out of pocket an extra $1000 buy the time you do the maths.

have a read of this and see what you are up for.

Yeah tweety Ive read that thread, I've always been concerned about the need to change more of the things in the engine bay; wiring loom, ECU, all plumming etc..

you dont need to change the loom or ecu?

the loom only attaches to the head, which is still rb26 and the ecu would be changed and tuned as its a modified engine,

plumming is getting custom made as youre using a big single...so only the adaptor plate is different.

I'm not building a RB26/30, hence no research... I'm building a RB26 and I know enough about them to complete this build just fine, but thanks for the concern.. I've been researching RB26 builds for the last 5 years or so as I always knew I was buying a GTR and I have always loved a high revving RB26 :thumbsup:

Yeah okay, well a little miss understanding but thats cool..

No real updates today, still waiting on rims from Japan, car from body shop and engine from engine builder hahaha Good things come to those who wait so i guess I'll wait some more...

TE37 SL 18"x10.5" +15 all round!

:worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship:

Other then that, the car is still at the panel shop waiting for parts from japan (front and rear diffusers, nismo pods)... Taking ages!!

Engine sump is finished however still waiting for all the internals..

I just want some thing at home to tinker with hahaha

Cheers

Hey mate,

where and how much exactly are you getting the rear diffuser from?

Cheers,

Anthony

Sorry mate, the panel shop ordered it from Nissan Japan brand new.

Not sure but the genuine brand new wheels, front and rear diffusers, nismo rear pods and side skirts were $13700 delivered...

So I'm guessing it was fairly pricey... Haha

Hey guys,

Things have been a little slow lately, waiting for the parts from Japan..

I went to see Tony at knight engines today, porting is getting done and the block should be finished at the machine shop today :thumbsup:

The engine will be fitted next tuesday or Wednesday by Shaun at boostworx and all custom piping ect. made up to suit..

Then it's on with the two piece rotors and up on the boost haha

Photos up shortly.. Now things are arriving, things will be flowing along alot quicker!!

Cheers

    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU. 
    • Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
