Hope this is in the right place, but let me first tell you about me, I actually live in the US but most of you guys on here seem pretty smart and I have a few questions. First though my car is 1990 240sx (s13), has 215,xxx on it and runs real strong few moths ago converted to 5 speed and now i want more power. I want to run an rb25 mostly because its cheaper than the rb26 and will eventually get an rb30 bottom end. swap parts are simple engine mount/driveshaft kit, intercooler, freddy intake, and want to get external oil pump. Thats where you guys come in, I want to run a similar setup to this guy, sorry its upside down

now it looks so simple, i know that the pump is moroso 22596, and is just drilling and tapping the oil pump and taking out the internals? I work at a machine shop and can get mounts made easily and know how about the belting crap because i have dealt with it in school, i know the oil pressure will be a little different and later he says he blew it up cause of too much oil in the head, so i figured an rear head drain and it should be good, have about 2k for this, would like to know what you guys think.

    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
