works fine with a lift pump

As long as the stupid 5/16" inlet / outlet hardpipes are removed, as this really is the entire problem with the factory GTR top hats.

They’re gone, is -8 now

Yeah I saw. 👍 These factory 5/16" OD hard lines have cost me 3 x cracked fuel tanks from pressurisation with a surge tank setup. Not to mention never, ever use the R32 fuel pump cradle return line to put fuel back at the pump - it goes to about 4mm.

Bin it.

Yeah no more vcam, the 2.8 and ported head will more then make up for it

All I read was Samsonas

Yesterday I finished work early and decided to play with the car for a little bit, was just going to drain the oil and water and pull the gear stick out, next thing I knew the gear box was on the ground (well on my arm which was on the ground) and most of the engine was undone 

[r32-25t]

Last night I wasn’t sure if I had done some serious damage to my arm or not, I woke up this morning at it was still sore but still able to move it so guess it’s ok. 

today i decided to take an rdo cause I was super keen on getting work done on the car, I pulled the clutch off, pull the front shafts and undid the mounts and pulled it out and threw it on a stand that engine bay is a mess, I plan on fixing that while the engine is out

Ready to start stripping it down 

[SiR_RB]

No mucking around here

[r32-25t]

Started pulling the engine down today and everything looks clean without any sludge and etc, got the head off and after you turned the gasket over you could see the gasket had blown between 6 and the exhaust side water gallery.

Unfortunately that turned out to be the least of my problems and so far I’ve found 3 cracks in the deck of the block between 2 of the head bolt holes and water jackets so it’s a bin job and the search begins 😞

You want a RB25DET NEO AWD bottom end? has CP pistons in it and Manly rods, ARP mains, ACL race dis dat.

OR

 

 

Choose your poison, then flog on marketplace/scumtree. Always looked after, never thrashed or raced, only selling due to upgrading to billet block. Blah blah blah, i know what I've got..

Nissan built my engine
