How much for the nismo pivot ball?

Its very easy to do. All wiring info can be found on the R31 forum/wiki, but you will have to play around with the alterator/starter/battery loom. Use the RB25 alternator You can either use the Rb25 power steering pump and have custom lines made, or use a VL S1 pump and lines. It bolts up, but you need a small spacer made up for the top bolt that goes into the head. Also the VCT oil return line needs to be slighty bent around it. VLT manual tail shaft (or VL NA manual shaft with R33 yoke) VL engine mounts and manual gearbox crossmember- Skyline rubber mount is the same as a VL one. VLT exhaust nearly fits, engine pipe just needs to be cut and rotated slightly. Use VL radiator, RB25 top hose, VL bottom hose, VL heater hoses. For the speedo, go to nissan and find one for a Navara (look on www.calaisturbo.com.au for part number) speedo will be correct for 3.45 diff gears. Standard VL fuel pumps are fine if using stock injectors/turbo/ecu setup, even when running 10psi. (no matter what anyone says, VL NA/Turbo external pumps all flow the same, even though some part numbers are different) Then you just need and intercooler and piping. That might be about it...

Any more details of head?

I am getting a bit of oil through my cooler piping etc as its running the stock breather hoses off the rocker covers. Will look at a catch can. Btw motor is out of the car at the moment, hence why I'm thinking of pulling the head to do the restrictors...

Hello all. I've searched but havent found the answer I'm looking for.... My motor is a Stock S2 RB25DET, standard bottom end and oil pump. But has Tomei Poncams and Hi flow OP6 turbo. Its only street driven but with occasional drags. What restrictors should I fit. SK has said Leave VCT, block center and 1.5mm for rear. From my searching I have found that the standard RB25DET restrictors are already 1.5mm. So all I need to do is block the center one? Or is there no point in even removing the head to just to block off one restrictor with a stock motor? Cheers

Yep - on one of my motors (a while before I started this thread), I just used a straight bit of hose that had the right I/D and same length and it bent into shape when everything went back together and it has been fine since. 2nd motor, I was able to buy it from Nissan using the above part number, but I have no idea if they're still available.
