I'm just about to order a Tomei gasket kit from Nengun, though I'm not sure which one I need. I can't see one there for a "standard engine" ie. standard bore and gasket thickness.

Isn't the standard bore 86mm and the standard headgasket thickness 1.2mm?

I can't see it there so I can't click on it to add to cart :confused:

Ok I'll try and help!

Now, if you have standard bore you want a head gasket with bore 86mm. I suggest you contact someone at Nengun and specifically ask them for this size.

As far as thickness is concerned its best to ask your mechanic. I know for a fact that ICE PERFORMANCE swears by 1.2mm thickness on their head gaskets. I think its got something to do with compression.

However double check everything I have said as I know very little about these things. I just thought little input to your question is better than nothing.

Well I've got a 32gts4 that had an RB20 in it, so I pulled that out and am putting this RB26 into it. I pulled the head off to get it cleaned up, have cams installed and then put a metal headgasket in it so that it can withstand the big single I have ready to go on :D

Can't wait! :D

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
