JE-R33GTS-T

Also I have removed the standard clutch fan and radiator so now running twin 12 inch thermo fan and alloy radiator with the switching control of the fans. I could not believe how quick the car built revs after the change .... must of had a considerable load on the old wore out clutch fan

I have a N1 Nissan Genuine Pump now and restrictor in the galleries to the head so considering the primary usage of the motor to be street so sustained High rpm will not be a REALISTIC option. (Training to be a cop so High Range Speed Fine and HOONING would not look good). Running ACL Race Bearings so with good maintenence I am imagining it will be fine. If I go drag racing or circuit I am going to run an oil cooler and a litre extra oil as safety because that is how the guys on here tend to manage it. I have oil pressure and temp gauges now too!

New Pics Currently awaiting initial start up on Monday :-)

Could be a hose off on the intake as well, reset the ecu and see if it starts (unhook battery terminal + and stand on brake pedal to drain charge then reconnect terminal)

Getting my stock cams refinished/ground this week $290 for the pair.

As for studs I had one stuck in with loctite from the previous owner haha no wonder the back two cylinders had no exhaust gasket left I pulled the stud out with my fingers

Haha I like it! I'm the same I'll give it a chop and have a go if I don't think I'll stuff anything expensive after a bit of reading but I have no probs calling someone to fix it

GT30R Front with a gt28r core and avo turboworld custom rear housing purchased off a friend. His Stagea made 277kw ATW on 18psi stock 2.5 NEO with almost stock throttle response so will be very interested as is my friend with the result on essentially a 2.7 On that am I right to think it is close to a 2.7 as it is a 2.6 with a 1 mm oversize bore and 1.2 hgasket?

Yeah it spun a big end bearing and lost oil pressure as you can see the rings were shagged. Price difference was exactly that $4000 more total to do things right first time. Head had 3 bent valves 2 exhaust and 1 inlet I believe so they were replaced along with uprated springs. Machinist called it a overhaul and refresh described as "what should be done" by my builder not a no expense spared porting they flow well from the factory just time spent making sure it's as good as it can be.

Spool Imports Rebuild Kit supplied Ross Pistons 8.5:1 1mm oversize which was available instock the other was the CP in 8.5:1 but they didnt have the 1mm oversize instock. I wanted 9.0:1 but cost factors and the excellent deal Spool did me was to hard to pass up. My machinist and engine build have managed to get it back to between 9.1-9.2:1 by decking the head and block surface. Its a streeter and I didnt want to run 20+psi on the way to work or home at night lol tired I still think I might get a bigger turbo and run some big numbers later but as a daily street car 280kw with positive boost at 3000 was my aim.

Here are some Pics off the new and machined pieces Oh and the DEAD PISTONS

There is a good DIY on forward facing Plenums just search I read it the other day

I stroked my RB25 to 26 retaining the 25 head. Head Decked with new valve springs and replacement $1450 Cash Nissan OEM RB26 Crank $1450 Machine Block & ARP Studs $1700 Forged Piston and Spool Rod Rebuild Kit RB26 ( including Bearings and Head Gasket ) spoolimports.com $2250 Nissan OEM Engine Gasket Kit $375 Labour at mates rates about $700 to $1000 $8225 If you machine your crank about $500 so I went new

Classic lol

Yeah I have spoken to my tuner and he is confident with them. My mate is running it in his R31 RB30 With T67 and has recommended it. I havent bought it yet but the price is right = Cheap lol I have read a few threads about the Vipec and link ecus but I just feel more comfortable with the adaptronic because of my friends recommendations and consulting with my tuner. Thanks mate

We believe it to be a GT30R Front with a gt28r core and avo turboworld custom rear housing. All Custom made so pretty cool

Its a custom half half thing hence the reason I cant remember the specs I think its an AVO front and rear housing from something else. It was part of a pair that they ordered and worked really well. Just sms'd for the specs will post shortly He is getting something thru Matt Rogers I think

Ok have bought a turbo hahaha I bit the bullet so to speak. Its of a mates Stagea should be good it made 270kw @ the wheels, he has decided after 3000km to go spastic with a high mount so is glad to sell it on. I'll get the specs later and pass them on!

I'd been waiting ages for a crank that was "being shipped" which was $900. So I just bought a brand new one expressed shipped in 3 days from Sydney to Hobart. Did pay a bit more but I had waited 6 weeks and then some for the other that turbo looks awesome

Yeah I was thinking about a new turbo its just the cost Rebuild cost so far: RB26 Crank $1450 Pistons Rods Bearings HGasket $2250 Machining Block $1750 (Including ARP Head and Main Studs) Still to Pay for the: Builders Labour : $60 an hour cash in hand Head recondition around $1000 Injectors $1000 Adaptronic with loom plugin $1300 Fuel Pump $500 Split Fires $600 If I go bigger turbo $1000+ :-) I know it deserves it really but just want my car to drive whilst I save a bit more.

I just did mine and SpoolImports.com RB Rebuild Kits great value and Brad has given me great service throughout

I have embarked on an engine rebuild on my R33GTST S2. Completed so far is the machining of the block to accept a new R33GTR Crank and RB26 Ross Forged 1mm oversize Pistons 8.5 Comp Ratio, Spool Rods and ACL Race Series Bearings, Cometic HGasket, Nissan Genuine Gasket Kit, N1 Oil Pump, Crank Collar, Gates Belts. I have chosen to only have the head decked and refreshed not going full house as its a street car daily driver and I'm not made of money LOL. Debating as to where to go from here. ECU is going to be an Adaptronic and unsure as to whether I put it back in with the stock turbo and tune with new injectors and fuel pump and enjoy because its cost me enough so far and I want to enjoy my car for a bit before I start hating it for making me poor. Or would this be shit as the bigger displacement would make it a dog.

Good to hear you had a win.

soz just noticed its a year old haha 2010

If you still have them the pfc for ecr33 rb25det and split fires i'll could do $1000 and $250 and i'll drive up to get them
