Hey all,

I'm currently working on a personal project to graphically document major rb series engine components, with the aim being a web page or java app that will aid people (mostly people newer to the mod scene) in locating key areas on their own vehicle.

I have browsed the forums and the net in general for pictures that meet my requirements but i have realised that for any kind of consitency i'm going to need custom photos.

What i am looking for is photos of assembled engines, more specifically a rotation of the engine taken at 90 degree increments (or 45 degrees if your feeling generous), including the top and bottom.

I'm hopeing to avoid having to hoik the engine out of my car to do a set for a 25det, so if anyone has an rb series block out and have access to a dig camera any pics would be appreciated.

if all goes well i plan to put it up somewhere for everyone to use if they like it.

PM me if you can help.

Go to JustJap or another import parts wrecker and ask. Tell them what your trying to do and I bet they will be happy to oblige. Especially Just Jap if you're a donator to the forums or a member of SAU NSW (hint hint) :P.

yeah im sure they would be happy, just credit them that you used an engine from them as reference. its also good for whoever lets you use their engine because people who look at your site can say "oh i can change that with this" and buy the parts from the wrecker

My Rb25det is out and in pieces on the floor ;)

It should be going back together within the month and could take lots of pics if you wanted.

I also have a 2nd 25 coming in a few days so i could take some pics of that but it needs to be cleaned up first.

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
