struggle to fill one page per week!

need a pic from the intake side, near cylinder 1 - thats where the solenoid goes

i'm interested as well... one of the main issues with the RB26 plenum/throttle body adapter is that it fouls some plugs on the intake side of the RB25 so some easy customization is easily done. however it is looking into a $1k+ exercise. some off the shelf/self fabrication might turn out cheaper. adapt it to a forward facing plenum and voila

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Rb...24#entry2667024 found a workshop that will do my balancing and a tuner. currently don't have time (not for another month at least). however i'll get them to assess my block and see if i will need a rebore on the RB30. the verdict will determine what pistons i use, i'd like to use the ones in my current motor if they are in good nick. i'm aiming for 11:1 - which i hope is a good compromise. will then have to discuss with my tuner to determine what he thinks is appropriate, tunable and most importantly safe/reliable. although i'm only doing the bottom end at this stage, what i choose will determine the head work. i.e. cam lift i can run, etc. so cam regrind, compression and/or timing. they all affect one another - gay!

man, this place is deaaaaaaaaaad

I'd like pics of the damage please. See email in my signature.

more interested in what kind of RPM limit it can handle - especially so after a balance and knifeblade. are the rods more likely to go before the crank at higher revs?

i hate you... haha

it seriously is one of those motors where the maths doesn't add up. unless you have a heap of spare parts lying around the shed it's simply not feasible. balancing is such a crucial thing and you are right it doesnt net you any direct gains, however it gives you more reliability and the ability to rev it harder which ultimately gives more power. i currently have another NA motor in mind, one that will make 200rwkw all day everyday without even maxing out its potential and would be perfect for racing. hence why i'll probably opt for a cheapo RB30 build, would still be looking around 130-150rwkw i would imagine. driveline and brakes shouldn't be an issue with me, they've all been upgraded. at this stage i'm still tentative, there's alot of stuff i've yet to consider. where can i skimp on things? which is important and most importantly the fact that i'm working with a budget. i would be in the same boat as you, i'm looking into using the head off my current motor due to the fact that i already have extractors and dont/wont need to buy an RB26 head. the adapter will allow RB25 users to bolt on the RB26 intake manifold (throttle bodies inclusive) onto the RB25 head. it's significantly cheaper than buying an RB26 head. this will give the option to take off the intake manifold and bolt trumpets on if i want to. although at this stage i dont think i'll be getting an adapter. throttle bodies would be an off the shelf item, way too much R&D to do it yourself - and i would suspect that they would be CNC machined. try googling 'webber' or the likes. I'll see if i can dig up Don's old thread...

love the front end!!!

got wastegate?

pm sent... show us ya intake flange!!!

i'm looking to something like what don has done but with a few more good bits. the more i price up a proper rb30de the gains are simply not worth it, i will most likely do a rough build for a side project and will hopefully be making 200rwkw on an na motor by late next year

i might be joining you very very soon... blew a gasket on the weekend and i'm trying to justify as using this as an excuse to build one. i've got a RB30 block sitting at home now and someone who is able to fabricate RB26 throttle bodies onto the RB25 head. taking donations!!! Cris, we will need to have a good chat about this sometime after May.

there's a thread in here on an R34 search for the user 666DAN

i agree with ashley. the turbo, high compression and adjustment of valve/camshaft timing must dramatically increase the flow rate into the cylinders. would be very interesting to see back to back dyno graphs of the motor running with the solenoid off and the motor with the solenoid on.

how odd, why would nissan do that?

tell me where i can get a $200 R31

sounds like to me that the rails aren't perpendicular to the car. pull up on the rail adjustment lever and twist and it should be right. the left and right rails are independent of each other when not bolted to the car. i.e. you can have the left one full forward and the right one full backward.

WHATEVER COILPACKS YOU'RE BUYING DONT BUY THEM!!! http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Sp...99-t188698.html splitfires for $499... doooo eeeeeeeeet!!!! glad we can help

that's a bit odd. i have R34 GTR seats with R34 GTR rails and it bolts directly into my R33 GTS without an issue.

I saw your other thread of 250NZD which is quite close to what they offered when i inquired about them. Shouldn't be anymore than $300 delivered for the Aussie guys. I'll send partsco an email to see if I can knock those last few bucks off.

agreed, i'd check those before injectors... coil packs seem to be failing quite regularly now days that skylines are getting older. remember that these cars are over 10 years old and yet we expect them to perform as if they have just come off the showroom floor.

should have taken his missus while you were at it
