the two ecu's we mentioned shit all over the PFC dejetro in terms of features and performance.

where you from mate?

as long as there not super expensive ill look into it mate as this is just a secondary project haha, im from victoria

find the tuner you are going to use, and ask them what they recommend.

some tuners prefer one ecu to the other.

best to get what they know for better tuning results.

im personally running a haltech platinum pro plug in.

wouldnt go anything else.

I'm not sure about ACL rings but its well known ACL race bearings are a good staple item for building a Nissan.

Personally if the motor is getting rings just spend the money on a set of pistons.. The added compression will make it nicer to drive on the road.

is there any piston options besides forged?? thanks for all the input guys i really appreciate it, i just really wanna do this thing right and get it going reliably

most manufacturers offer non forged pistons for those that just want a standard rebuild.

although, if youre going to the trouble, why not go forged?

if built right, they may have a slight bit more noise when cold, then be fine when warm.

and if/when you mod, theyre already there, to take the punishment.

i understand forged is better but at this stage i just wanna get it going i will build another bottem end and head combo over time, id rather spend the extra cash on a decent computer turbo and fuel system

if you just want it going, id try, and I emphasis try, to find a decent 2nd hand bottom end.

or complete motor.

just a thought.

That was my initial plan too with my RB30 build. Picked up a short block that was advertised to be in great condition. Ran a compression test on it, checked oil pressures everything came out great. Put a 3k rev limit on the ECU and broke it in for 1000 kms. Strapped it on a dyno, pushed it to 5k rpm and the bearings took a dump and jammed the engine. Had to be towed off the dyno back to the shop. After almost 3 months building and anticipation, it just plain sucked. Really don't wish it upon anyone.

We had to take everything apart and redo the whole thing again. Would've been a lot cheaper (and faster) for me to do it right from the beginning and go with Forgies, Race Bearings and a Billet Oil Pump.. lesson learnt for sure. I know many of course that just slapped a stock one and had zero issues.

i cant quite figure out how u guys can be so against throwing a set of decent bearings and new rings, wont starting off with a fresh engine be better than slapping together an engine that i know has excess blowby i just dont get it

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
