For those that remember, my RB26 rebuild is done.

Now I just have to drop it in. It's taken 10 months for various reasons, one of those being cash.

Anyway, off the top of my head, here's the build:

Nismo N1 block, brand new from Japan, bored to 88mm

Wiseco Forged Pistons, 88mm

Standard crank

Standard rods shotpeened and balanced

race valves and springs (can't remember brand)

1.6mm 3 layer Metal Head Gasket (once again, can't remember the brand but same as used in NASCAR)

Black metal bearings, meant to be 10 to 20% stronger (again, the brand escapes me but Larry perkins uses them)

Head ported and ground

Cams still stock but will be replaced soon, as for the turbo's

WOLF 3D VER. 4 ECU

Labour has been free except for the porting and boring, yet it has still set me back around $12,000 so far.

Hopefully we'll drop it in this weekend.

Oh, by the way, brand new Exceedy 3-puck race clutch as well.

Also, as I used a stand alone head gasket, I have a standard head gasket for sale which came with the full RB26 gasket kit.

hey is the N1 block heaps better than the normal rb26 block? im talking about the block it self and not the oil/water pumps etc

Loads better. Even after the rebore its got heaps more meat than a standard block. Plus it has more finning on the block itself. I didn't get a full N1, just the bare block. I have reused my own oil/water pumps, etc.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
