thing is i didnt  lol. EVeryone found it quite amusing how little i had :)

My car was all top end, had nothing remotely interesting until 4300rpm :(

It was slideways off the line, then skating for approx 1/2 track where it settled, 2.1 60ft...

Timing was so out that day, damn heathcote

Abobob, just wait till you kill the diff.

You never know. It could hold out for a while. If your nice to it there is no reason why it shouldnt really.

Occassionally you do get a few odd tickets coming out, but generally there pretty correct!!!

Abo bob,

Mines the opposite.. Stone cold it will open wheel really badly.

Once it gets a little warmth in it tends to LSD up a little better. :S

Thats how they are meant to work arent they?

Let me say that Robo's 2530 was pretty quick!!!!! we had a couple of little goes in gear and i was impressed, gear changes had nothing to do with it, he was pulling away from me in gear every gear! i may have had more topend but it would have taken a long to time to catch him if ever!

I wouldnt have minded meeting up with you again before you changed your turbo though as that week just before i met up with you, i had installed a silencer valve in the exhaust (cable type at the cat) and found that it was not fully opening!!!!! as soon as i took it out the car pulled heaps harder!

Having said that, Robo's car was bloody quick and the midrange was amazing! i dont doubt the 244rwkw i have or the 250rwkw Bass has from the Racepace dyno, as Ben mentioned more boost with the 2535 wont produce much more peak power just way more midrange!!

It is about my rebuild but it was also supposed to be a repository for NEO info which it has turned out to be.

Shonen - you're obsessed with highmount.  I'm more likely to put nos on it than a highmount.  That said, a 2835ProS would be nice but I can't afford anything atm. 

I've already got the highflow so I'm sticking with that due to $$.  I've got some cams going in though so that should make some difference.

I think the 4 doors have the viscous LSD and the 2 doors get the helical LSD which means I'll be up for a new diff at some stage.

haha adam im obssessed with screamer pipes....not necessarily high mounts.

Naws eh ???? yeah I want to get it sometime in the future too...especially after talking to andrew (merli)

Ok now for the serious questions.

Noticed in the first post you said the rods are same as GTR rods ??

Is the design just the same or the material as well ?

Heard that its a popular upgrade in japan to change to GTR crank and rods in high power RB25s.....so I guess in the neo I just need to change to a GTR crank if I choose to go down that path ?

Also, whats the difference between the normal Poncams and the Type B ? Never heard of the Type B before...are they still a bolt on style cam ? or are they like the Procams for the rb26 where some modification is needed to fit them ?

PS

get a TO4Z..... :lol:

haha im obsessed with that turbo....it just rolls off the tongue...

Edited by shonen

the type B are just one config of poncams. for example for RB26 they have two poncam sets, type A and type B. the type B set is a pair of 260s where ars the type A is 252/260 i'm not sure what the numbers are for the RB25 though.

I think type A is 254/260 In/Ex for RB25 and type B is 260/260.

When I say the rods are the same I mean they are exactly the same. From the same place, same time, same material etc.

I think if you put a GTR crank in you need different pistons too. Just put a collar on the RB25 crank and you will be right. There's not enough difference to matter.

Installed some new gauges on the weekend.

Also finished the front bar. It's just hanging on there at the moment.

Car looks good with the mesh Adam...very pro looking job :)

I think you'll find all of the older autos are viscous even the coupes...the series 2 moved over to helical for both manual and auto.

I can have hit and miss open wheeling with my diff, it's not even that thrashed yet :wacko:

BTW I've joined the dust collecting team as well, the ECU is in Perth being sorted, should be back in the car Saturday :P

we have a nismo 2way centre at work. (only the centre not the whole diff)

(came in the boot of a 34 we got in)

im sure a reosonabe offer my boss will part with it.

if not use penrite "limslip 85-140" to keep that helical diff in check.,it works in fd rx7s.

I think type A is 254/260 In/Ex for RB25 and type B is 260/260.

I don't know if the tomei cams are the same for the NEO but the poncams in my 33 RB25 are both 256... I didn't think they came in a type A/B etc... I am pretty sure you can mix and match whatever you like...

nice front , thats the nismo aero bar right ? and its on a 4 door ? sweet!

Actually, it looks to me like poncams for the RB25NEO are..

Type A = 252/252 9.15

Type B = 260/260 9.15

hey guys,

i'd like to chip in - i'm an R34'er in the midst of doing very similar things to abo bob and bass junky (by the looks).

anyway i've already posted here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...8&t=93572&st=20

but thought you guys might be interested in my pre-mods power run recently.

it made 198.5 rwkw.

spec:

pod

full 3" exhaust (BATMBL split dump/front/cat and Blitz cat-back)

gt2876r-core hybrid turbo from MTQ

turbotech bc running ~11PSI

absolutely everything else = stock

it's obviously running pretty rich and i guess bumping into the R&R from the stock ecu?

anyway should be interesting once everything's done. waiting for the powerFC to arrive next week then the fun begins. final spec will be:

pod

full 3" exhaust

gt2876r hybrid

14-16 PSI

powerFC

blitz LM FMIC

bosch 040 pump

nismo 480cc injectors

Z32 afm if needed

who knows what power. a result like bass junky's would be awesome. a nice chunky torque curve and a decent time at willowbank is what i'm after. :D

cheers!

That is the Nissan Aero bar on my 4 door :D.

I think you are correct Luc. The R33 poncams are 256's but R34 are 252's which is where I went wrong.

R33 = 8.5 lift; R34 = 9.15 lift. Yeah baby! That extra half a mm says it all, at least that's what all the girls say...

Ah yes, but you have solid followers with clearances, the R33 RB25's have hydraulics with zero clearance. There is not a lot of difference in the valve opening.

:P cheers :)

    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
