GT Four! either stagea swap or RB30. if you RB30'd it would you use the NA gbox from it or would a stagea one fit?

sell your car NA n then we can stick the turbo on my car! haha jk, rory wants a turbo for his AW11 though...

Depends what you want to do ,Drag it, Drift it, Circut Race.:confused:

The 2 wheel Gt+t is good for the RB26 swap less weight without the 4wd system and damn cheaper than the GTR.

If you've seen in Japan there's a few GTT's running GTR engines even better if you can land the VVT version of the RB26.:jump:

Hey Dan Go with the RB30 build & be a little different & go with the RB26 top end with a large single turbo on it

I was looking into it & had got an idea of price of around 6K with out turbo & computer just for the motor build & head/manifolds with no turbos.

I have a lot of info on it if ur keen let me know, mind you that build was with head port work & a 30 thou over on the block with pistons & rods with a fully balanced bottem end I got told it should be good for around 350 at the wheels with the right set up injectors & cooler, only prob with the big single & head port work is it will be very lagie but once it on hold on ;) I don't have the money to do what I wanted to do now but looking into KAPA with super charger kits ;)

there was a rb25 complete for $2000 on here in QLD.. still available last i checked.. loom, ecu, afm, everything..

would be a non-neo r33 engine.. but at that price worth considering

otherwise you get Rb30 blocks for a couple of hundie, and rb25 heads for around $1000.. throw in some cams .. the rebuild costs you a few thousand but that is with the serious bits. Near $10k you can have 350-400rwkw engine if you like.. add a nice turbo and start blowing up drivetrains.

rb26 head is a little too expensive.. flows better and tougher but $1000-$2000 more.

Hey Dan

Originaly myself and a mate built it but had a few problems so I took it to Power Break and Enginering (near Harrys Diner)

They pulled out my original build - rebuilt/ balanced the whole botom end - rebuilt mild port of the head - put it all back together - put it in the car and got it working for $2500

the engine is completly balanced - bored 10 though and runs awsome!

Just waiting to put on my fmic and power fc now and Ill be almost all done with the 33

rb30 with a rb26 head and single turbo is hardly "a little different"......

Go the 4.5 or 4.1 nissan V8 and put twin turbs on.... even with a stock engine this combo would haul some serious A55! the 4.1 will obviously be a little more rev happy, but the 4.5 will have more off-boost torque....

V8 skylines r.o.c.k! (but im biased)

Thanks riceline, may have a yarn to the guys down there then....something *cheaper* like the RB30DET may keep me happy for a bit before I move onto another car :)

Also what turbo are you using on that...is it still the stock one?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
