yeah i have been talking to him - unfortunatly i have brought 80 % of my internals which i got for very very cheap - all i need now is what i asked for in the above post..

is auto tech in fyshwick doing engine work ?

Get someone who has had experince with RB's. Take it to Duncan Foster in Sydney....or if you want the whole engine package done, send it up to Paul at red R racing in Newcastle.

DONT go local. Period !

I will STFU now.

But if you do go local I will remind you :yes:

CONSTANTLY :devil:

Bitter much? :P *ducks*

All the work on my car was done at Autotech, but the motor was done by Racepace in Melbourne. Autotech used to get another company to do their engine internal work, not sure if that's the case still though. Give them a call and if they do it in house, I'd give them a shot.

How about those guys in SA who build RBs? Lewis engines.

They seem to have it sorted out, (oil control and pumps)

They have a RB 2.25 that im thinking would be good for me.

Does anyone know if they are any good?

Build an RB20 up and suffer inferior performance, or don't build an RB25 and get greater performance.

A stock 25 will be better bang for buck than a forged 20. That's my point lol. Bolt-ons and labour aside, why spend more for less?

If i wanted more power i wouldnt have bought a Skyline.

Im not a power tripper. Im actually happy with what its got now, id just like it to be solid and smooth.

I just want a nice to drive car i can mess with in the shed.

A bit of a toy to play with.

Constantly chasing power and speed is a waste of time and money, considering one can just buy it out of the box.(GSXR1000!)

Troy you know what i mean, you ride.

If you dont have a goal or stopping point for the mods on the car, it gets way too expensive and pointless.

ANYWAY.... im getting off subject. Reece was asking about engine builders.

So no one good in Canberra?

Had anyone tried or heard if these Lewis engines are any good?

PS: Happy with Autotech Nik? I want a Nistune and they are the only ones in Canberra.

Yep - no problems with it thus far and I was driving it like I stole it (and then the clutch let go, doh...)

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
