Engine is in. Nismo mounts and urethane gearbox crossmemmber mounts fitted. Engine feels nice and tight. Whole car moves when you give the motor a push.

'Engine in' was a lot easier than i thought. Gearbox, tailshaft and passenger cv is on. Everything else is left. 

Pic for your troubles lol rb25 swap ?

Hey want, just read your thread, what internals did you end up going with and what turbos are you going to run?

No strokers or anything, nitto bits, kelford cams, and eventually single turbo. 

starting to put stuff back together slowly. Theres about a million and one little jobs to do, part of it a catch can setup.

This is the stock pcv in the balance tube

I wont be plumbing the catch can back into the pcv so i replaced it with this

Much neater than sticking a bolt in a hose. For those playing at home the thread is a 1/4bsp.

Are you going to go with the Garrett the workshop recommended?
I'd say they 64/66 that's advertised on here is a good buy, might be able to get my hands on a 6boost manifold to suit it as well.
That turbo on a 26 is insane!
The most fun you can have with your pants on!

Received a package from platnium racing. Definitely a quality piece of gear. Everything packaged really well and fits like a glove. I removed the stock r35 coil stalks and fitted the prp ones. Bracket and loom are mint. Genuine nissan coils supplied eith kit also.

You inspired me want, I just bought the coil kit from Hypertune. I got the black anodised bracket

Niceeee.

Ive been waiting for my ard alternator since december. Pretty frustrating waiting so long but what do you do.

Fuel system is done. 8an feed and return. 1 walbro 460 in the tank, another 2 460s in the raceworks surge. Turbosmart fpr2000, bosch 1650 injectors in an aeroflow rail.

Primed the surge tank and after a few minutes primed the fuel system. No leaks so very happy about that. 

If all goes to plan i should be mere weeks away from firing this thing up. Keen to hear this thing idle and race it.

So my Ard alternator finally turned up. That is now in. Same size as the old one so basically in and out job.

In other news. Couple boxes turned up. Had to do a test fit! 6boost with gtx3584rs. Loved the smell of new parts haha

Looking tough, what are your plans for the gearbox?
Mines been upgraded to series 3 components but that’s still not strong enough for 500rwkw so it’s all up in the air right now, I want to go a ppg gearset and billet flex plate but all up that’s around 12k.
I’m planing on giving the box a freshen up and putting a twin plate clutch but that’s just temporary.

No plans for the box. When it breaks ill prob just throw another one in or rebuild mine for now. No decent option without spending north of 15k so its not going to upgraded soon.

Going from basically stock to this level was costly.

Single, sexy :)

Curious to see what you'll make/do with the 2.6L and static cam - I might get bored one day (when the car is finished and running properly) and upgrade to a GTX3584RS too to be like you.

How do you plan to run the pumps?

Always on or will they be turned on when needed by the ecu, or something different.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • 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.
