Made a decision... :(


Recommended Posts

Ive decided to just go the boring and easy route on the motor swap and just swap the SR20DET into the vehicle. Ill most likely end up with a Redtop or a Blacktop S13 motor or if Im lucky a S14 motor. Ill be looking to make around 250rwhp with the setup at 1 bar. I wish I could do the RB25DET swap but there is just too much involved and seems to be a total nightmare of a swap. Plus with the SR being popular over here there are alot of parts and support for the motor. Thanks for all those that helped me with my questions and I wish I could have done the swap but I guess one can always dream of a Ferrari but you can only afford the Fiat.

In the end it could only be a good choice.

The SR in the US is popular, and tuning parts are more abundant than for the RB series.

RB would've really been a head turner there, but running costs would prove prohibative. Maybe it's time you thought about moving to Australia.... :mad:

    • all brand new unit from Tomei, fluid, bearings, etc. Tomei said they call it a 1.5 lsd because its 100 percent lock up under acceleration and 50 percent under deacceleration.  as I mentioned I used their fluid, install and their break-in procedure, (alot of figure 8's) but even when driving straight, or even slowly backing out of garage for first time, (at 2 mph) then driving to and from figure 8 parking lot, each tire in the rear would sporadically grab, skip, bounce, shutter and skip, shutter back a force I could feel causing clutch to slip then grab, at any speed. shaking entire car. I removed unit, since I put stock back in and all is fine, via process of elimination, its something with the lsd unit itself. I wasn't going to beat up the entire car more or change anything else for no reason as I had a feeling something in the lsd itself was wrong as everything was fine before this alone was installed and I rechecked over everything else after first time backing out I suspected an issue. I'll probably sadly already need new tires now just from trying to drive it 5 miles and performing the figure 8 break in. but if someone has any ideas I'm all ears 
    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
