Hello and thank you. As the title states I may be new but my questions wont be. So for the next good chunk expect me in the shadows lurking trying to obtain as much knowledge as possible before i open my stupid mouth.

What bring me here is the desire for knowledge I'm in the process of building a s13 coupe from the ground up and I've veered into the desire of putting an RB in as my power source. 

The build is not for big power but massive fun. Not for sliding or smoking tire but for breaking necks and hugging corners( I know I know an sr would be better weight distribution for handling) but coming from being raised with and loving the s30 chasis I figured I might as well build a modern twist with my personal touch .

I've been raised with a solid motto of" if it gets touched it gets refurbished or replaced " and "every build should follow the progression of suspension, safety, plumbing, engine, drivetrain, interior, exterior" and that's how I've attacked every build I've embarked upon.

Sounds promising. Got pics of the coupe?

For the questions that you know have been asked many times your best bet is to Google them first and you will get many answers. When you get stuck post here...

I've been tearing through google for the last few years and most all of my searches have brought me here which Is why I decided to become a member. So for now your all safe-ish from redundant questions.  Lol

Yep. Wheels look ok!

 

Those wheels are gone, they were four lug, so when I switched to 5 lug I traded my old audi wheels to a kid for his stock 350z wheels and picked up some free tires from the local tire shop just so I could set her back on the ground and let all the new suspension components settle

RB's have been done already.

Have you considered a Hartley V12 (based on the Toyota Century V12)
Nissan-Silvia-Hartley-V12-Olivecrona-Spe

Can confirm, sounds amazing in real life

I've been listening to sound clips on youtube and showing it off to everyone ... I can get the century v12 here in the states for just shy of 3 grand, a build will eventually be produced with one, not this one but one will 

definitely gunna follow this thread that v12 swap would be great and unique! I don't wanna be the guy to say throw a 2j in there although I love those motors. nice to see these cars saved by people who understand and take the time to bring them back. good luck with build mate.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
