well I can answer the alice springs question....don't worry about it!

The BP there has ultimate (if you can afford it lol). It does get hot so just make sure you don't get a super agressive tune....easy.

Like RBNT the only problem I had was blowing out the plastic inner guard liner about 10klm over the border when we first hit 180 :)

Oh and keep stock suspension....there's no corners up there :O

Cereal Killer, I also considered the straight swap for RB26DETT as well but the trouble is, you really don't know what sort of condition the RB26 is in either. It too will eventually require a rebuild and then you're up for the price of the new engine plus the price of the rebuild!

fit the rb26 pistons lower compression 8.6 as opposed to 9 to 1 around 110-120 each and would suit your needs. rb26 crank and rods also fit they would probalby add an extra grand plus to the job.

the rest should be fine I would gopower fc and z32 afm to start b4 doing injector I would also go 2540 or td06 20g rather than 2535. or a 500 hp roller from garret.

Why waste the money when you arn't going to use the potential.

Simply rebuild the stocker with a set of forged pistons.

Slap a huffer on it to make from 250-300rwkw and off u go. Why settle for only 250rwkw?!

If not stick with the 2535 drop the comp to 8:5:1 and use stocker pistons.

what he said.. $1200 or so for a forged piston kit, and general clean up on your bottom end. Might be able to get it done for under $3500 - shouldn't have to touch the head.

Don't get sucked in by expensive rods, expensive head gaskets, aftermarket cams and all other crap. RB25DET will do 300rwkw with a good condition engine, just give it forgies and make it safer.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
