Hi Guys


So I'm planning to turn up the boost soon to about 16-18psi with a high flow and supporting mods


Getting a service done, wanted to make sure the engine is built to handle it and will pump out 250rwkw all day every day reliably.


This is what I've changed/am changing for "insurance" and my power goals so far


- full 100k service done , gates racing timing belt

- full fluid flush

- exhaust manifold studs upgraded to toyota ones

- splitfires

- metal intake to turbo

- blitz return flow intercooler

- 3inch exhaust from turbo back , gtr cat

- ebc & gauge

- new vacuum lines(old ones are cracking and brittle)

- new 52mm ASI radiator

- new breather hoses

- new radiator hoses

- new rocker cover gaskets

- walbro 255lph fuel pump

- nismo 550cc injectors

- z32 afm

- craig davies transmission cooler

- mv automatics stage 2 valve body upgrade

- still deciding on tuner/engine management


Only current issues :


- Idle hunting at any temperature, never stalls

- When starting cold , sputters and low revs , needs a push of the pedal to "catch - claned AAC , cold start valve , TB etc...

- Oil Leaking around rocker covers


What are the other weak points of the RB25DET that I should address before I put some serious power through it?


I know many have made 250rwkw easily on an upopened average RB with no issues whatsoever. Just looking for what I can do to ensure reliability without opening her up as this is my daily and I want to put my foot down at any time with full confidence.


Thanks in advance


Cheers

when you say full 100k service i assume you mean waterpump, and the bearings also?

also if youve chaged the rocker cover gasket the oil leak shouldnt be there unless is coming from somewhere else

i guess the choice of ecu will be decided when you decide on tuner

looks like youve done a lot to cover yourself off

also hte half moon seals and such on the 100k service, not for any sort of safety but may be the leake, also a bitch to do on there own.

have you checked the compression or done a leak down test just to make sure there are no underlying issues with the rough idle/ start?

Yes 100km service including changing water pump , bearing etc... Ive changed the rocker cover gaskets, but the rocker cover bolt seals were all hard and out of shape.... It was also missing two bolts so Im going to by the gasket again , half moons and bolt seals + bolts. Will then be able to see what else is leaking

also hte half moon seals and such on the 100k service, not for any sort of safety but may be the leake, also a bitch to do on there own.

no i havnt actually - thats a good idea, i think i may get a compression test done.

I wouldn't worry about a comp test. It will just show up if you are on borrowed time, which technically you are until you do a full rebuild, and it's not like you will do that as a precautionary measure.

Boost it up, hope for best, but to be sure start planning an engine build in the mean time.

why do you always find a need to post the same thing on nissansilvia.com also?

RB25DETs will piss out 250kW at the rears anyday of the week without even breaking a sweat

ive already answered your question there. Ive also already said, "I know many have made 250rwkw easily on an upopened average RB with no issues whatsoever."

If you don't like my threads then stay out of them. Thanks

Nistune & Tune - That's it with the mods you have listed.

You'll be fine on stock over the 300rwkw's mark. (Turbo dependent)

Highflow OP6 will get your 250rwkws. All day every day

(mine does)

Cheers. Shouldnt break a sweat , and I have maintained it as best I could (never boosted above 12, oil change + filter every 5000km etc, always check coolant and oil level . always warm car up and check oil pressure before boosting) so hopefully it shall last me many more thousands of km's :)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
