Afternoon,

I need to order some ARP head studs and a timing belt, and I need them to go on air freight hopfully today. Does anyone know any dealers I can call that will have some in stock for an rb25 gtst?

Cheers,

Phee

Hi phee, you could try Performance Wholesale in QLD as they will have them in stock and would be able to arrange freight for you.

yeh i give ya that one phee who would have thought in darwin lol did you get a new idler, tensioner and bolts.....i just ordered mine learnt i needed them last night lol

Edited by sinistagtst

Haha! I haven't learnt that one yet... god damn! I'll get the Gates belt tomorrow, and I just ordered my ARP head studs from www.performancewholesale.com.au - AWESOME service, very very helpful and I highly recommend them. The studs will be here tomorrow morning at 10am.

How much did those extra parts you needed come to Sinista?

Well they idler and tensioner come to bout $100 delivered from bearing industries (02) 96744322, parts numbers;

tensioner; NSK 60TB0732A

Idler; NSK 56TB2801B01

thats very cheap and new bolts washer etc were $15 from nissan

Ah that's not too bad... I was freaking thinking you were going to say a couple hundred. All rebuilds need those new parts?

Yeh i know i was in the same boat lol, yeh they do and make sure you get new bolts for $10-15 could save your engine big time, if one snaps then there goes your engine.

sinistagtst / phee.... doing the same to my engine at the moment.

is that new bolts for the idle and tensioner?

Will you be using new guides?

What else do you think should be changed when rebuilding an engine?

When i took it apart i found that many bolts were loose. Lucky nothing went bang!

I also don't want to skimp on a few $.

CURRENT LIST....

big and main bearings

clutch

forged pistons + rings

gtr rods

cam gears

cams (still to get)

02 sensor

injectors

full gasket set

afm

exhaust studs

exhaust

pfc

turbo (undecided)

Hey mate,

your list looks good, yes those bolts are for the idler and tensioner which you will also need. remember timing belt, do you want a thicker metal head gasket or are you just sticking with the standard one. other than that your list looks pretty good, and if you have the money you could do the turbo at the same time that way you save your self money by having to get your retuned when you blow the stock one up lol. what size injectors are you getting, whats your power figure in mind also what mods do you currently have.

sinistagtst.... not sure on the hg yet. what are you going with?

I'm after an 8.5 cr and am unsure whether or not to do some head work.

The injectors are 555 nismo's and i'm chasing around 280/300 rwkw.

I just saw thizzle's power/mods post and he is getting 300 with a gt-rs.

I've narrowed it down to a 2835 or gt30r. I think:)

Simon.

Hey mate,

Im goin with a 1.6mm or 1.8mm headgasket, im most likely using acl forged pistons which bring cr down to 8.4 but by the time i deck the head that will rise a bit and plus i want to run a fair bit of boost and most comments ive seen say that you can hardly notice the difference off boost with bringing the cr down. i would recomend the gt3040, the reason i say this is it will make power easier than the 2835, but you can choose your exhaust housing whether it be .63 or .8 for response. injectors for that power will be fine.

sinistagtst.... do you think the 3040 would be too big and laggy?

i read a post on th gt30r with the .63 exhaust housing and people couldn't get traction once it hit boost.

I was thinking about the gt30r with the .82 housing and am concerned about the lag issue.

Boost kicking in at 3700 revs or close to.

Wanting to drive mostly on the street with some track.

( big decision )

Simon

nope a 3040 would be fine if you dont mind a bit of lag go the .82 but if its response and more streetable go the .63 you will make power easier than the 2835 and you still have to put as much boost into it to make power compared to the smaller turbo, which you might also be close to the max power from the 2835.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 馃
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
