Took a few pics of the clutch last night

Done ATLEST 250 7000 RPM + launches. Feels the same as the day I took ownership of the car. It's going straight back in. Very very surprised at the condition of the plates.

Another reason why i am so happy i spent the money on one of these clutches comp spec ftw

Paul, good to see that u stuck with the 2.8. The 3ltr will ruin your gtr due to the mods required with cutting and drilling and stuffing around, you have such a nice example r33...if your car was clapped out then I'd say go to a 3ltr.

Unfortunately when u get the horsepower bug, things break (as per Ian's comment earlier).

Im not a big fan of polished ports.

Heated Air = increased viscosity = extra drag through a smooth port. this has been proven.

I have had my Rb26 head flowed to its maximum ablity without any polishing

Yes it has!

When you look at the list of high powered engines this guy has developed in the last 15 years in Japan from the Drag33 to time attack engines down to current GTR35, you know he has got a little bit of knowledge of what he's doing, plus he's got the runs on the board having built literally 100's of race engines and high performance cars.

End of the day its the complete package that makes everything come together to give a car that has buckets of torque, great power delivery on low boost and isnt going to go bang.

Also you might want to have a real good look at a few other top Japanese engine builders like Jun etc and see what they do.

Are they doing it or have they done it wrong ??

These guys were pushing the boundries of the RB before most owners here were out of wetting their beds.

Its easy to say yes this is proven and thats proven but how many of you guys have built engines and own cars like these guys in Japan have built and still do.

Have you guys actually been and seen what the Jap top tuners build ???

For example in Australia how many 9 sec cars are there..Japan 10 years ago they were being pumped out left right and centre.

Nowdays hardly any and thats due to economic differences e.g Japan is going down the tube big time so nobody has the coin anymore.

Sadly the RB in Japan today is a dinasaur, alike to the old golden Holden 308 , yes parts are still available and the odd build still happens but this is due to just being for bread and butter money. The focus now and the in future is well and truly the GTR35.

At the end of the day you have to look at what Pauls building here. This is not a knuckledragger engine, its being built for all round high performance and high response so he can take it out to the circuit and go very quick but still enjoy a Sunday drive but have all sorts of anger under the loud pedal.

He might have a little bit of knowledge but if those inlet ports are polished (which they kind of look like they are) there are deficiencies in how that inlet port will perform... that is the bottom line, it is FACT! Whether he has built 10 engines or 100 means nothing. Plus the fact that this head also has +1.5mm inlet valves is a whole other issue...

I don't think it is right to continue this on Piggaz's thread, apologies mate. Marcus send me a PM or email if you like.

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
