I thought I would post up my existing bolt ons

Nismo s tune coil overs

Hks hard pipe kit

Arc intercooler

Greedy rad

3 inch stainless exhaust

Pfc dj and hc

Thats all I can think of for now and its allready been added to as above ^^^

little update on my clutch it was sent to jim berry race clutches in brisbane to get built , i have used him before when i built my 32 gtr and the clutch was awesome. It has arrived there at his workshop problem is the flywheel that came off my engine is a nismo light weight item jim berry has always recomended not go a light weight fly wheel ever !

He told me to source an rb 30e fly wheel if possible he said these are the best and are stronger than all the r32 gts t ,gtr , r33 gts t , r34 gtt flywheels.

so i took his advice on that and have purchased one i found on gumtree on the goldcoast and he is sending it to jim tomorrow.

Once the fly wheel is machined i will have jim send it to rob in nz so he can balance it with the engine.

I picked up this type s tomei fuel reg with fuel press gauge today .

For my fuel setup I was thinking of running a walbro 460 l p/h e85 fuel pump and 2000cc xspurt injectors and this fuel reg above with stock fuel rail.

Im still unsure if I have to change fuel lines for e85 Can someone tell me . And also how much modification is needed to fit the in tank walbro pump.

Ive got a similar setup going into my s15. 25neo though

same pump and reg, bosch 2000cc injectors etc

fuel lines shouldnt need replacing but while the motors out it can be a good idea to replace the rubber hoses. cheap enough from auto stores.

if its anything like a silvia the pump should pretty much attach the way the stock one does.

Cheers .

Finaly got around to stripping down motor head is off and strapped to pallet ready to send to kelford cams in nz . Sump and all bottem end accessories that rob requires for the 30 bottem end are also packed up all bolts and nuts bagged up and labeled

I will send off monday hopefully

My next mission is to detail engine bay , replace all fuel lines and fit my new trust 16 row oil cooler kit.

my full gt3582 r turbo setup has arrived with 6 boost manifold 44 mm turbo smart ex gate,3.5 custom dump /front pipe and screamer pipe

my head has been sent to kelford cams in nz to get all the machine work done . also have sent my sump and diff and a few other bottem end pieces to rob at rips racing in nz.

things are coming along and moving fairly quickly rob has already started on my block as of 2 weeks ago.

my next decision is what what colour to paint the engine covers and inlet manifold anyone got any ideas ?? as you can see its like a candy red now

Ok guys I previously posted this in the wrong section from now on with my build I will put my questions here

As stated before I have removed my 26 out of my 33 stripped it down and sent parts away to rips in nz ro build my 26 30now I have thrown away the heat exchanger and im fitting an rb20 filter housing .

How do people configure these hoses just join them together ?

Also im running a single turbo now im unsure where to pickup my water supply and return and what to do with the original hosing under stock inlet manifold. ?

I picked up this type s tomei fuel reg with fuel press gauge today .

For my fuel setup I was thinking of running a walbro 460 l p/h e85 fuel pump and 2000cc xspurt injectors and this fuel reg above with stock fuel rail.

Regarding fuel hoses, teflon braided are a good idea but not necessary. IMO if you're spending an obviously large amount of money on your setup, what's another $200 for lines and fittings? Makes working on it a hell of a lot easier too. Regardless, there is one hose that is ABSOLUTELY necessary to change if you're going to be using E85, and that's your in-tank hose from your fuel pump to your fuel lid. Regular fuel hoses are only coated on the inside and generally work ok with E85; this hose needs to have the coating on the outside too. Gates Submersible is the stuff you want there. Don't use braided in-tank, the ethanol will eat the braid.

The Walbro 460 is easy enough to fit, half hour job. The cradle will need a bit of modification as the pump is taller than the stock one, so you will need to cut off about an inch of the hard line to fit it in. I'd also recommend running larger gauge wiring direct to the pump, don't use the stock wiring harness. These pumps draw a lot of current and will melt your plug.

Cheers mate im an auto sparky so yeah will deff do the relay and wiring . So if I replace the old fuel lines with new normal fuel line that will be ok hey . And just use gates sub in tank hey

    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
