Just thought I would bump this 20 year old thread because the Skid Factory have just posted up a video summarising a lot of the content, format might be more familiar for newer members

how much is it for a 4wd sump adaptor?? how much do the prices vary? i know RIPS in NZ make em and one guy on here (forgot his nickname) and sydneykid said his fabricator makes them.

i want one that fits first time with no mods at all.

also could i use my rb26 power fc djetro on a rb26 head/rb30 bottom end? how do i go with the difference in knock sensors on the rb30 bottom end? do the rb30s use 1 or 2 knock sensors?

cheers

RB30 uses ONE knock sensor in the middle. BUT they have the provisions for the 2 knock sensor in the standard position from the rb25/26 so they bolt straight in.

question for Sky30 . or anyone who knows

what rear housing are you using on the GT3540 ??

and have you got a newer dyno sheet than the one you posted in the RB30 results thread?

Im using some kind of .82 truck housing with internal gate machined to suit GT35/40.

No further results to that dyno, that was running stock plenum and stock exhaust manifold.

Thats is a good result!!!

Wondering if anyone has solved the bonnet clearance issue??? I have now been driving around with my bonnet open LOL and i dont want the cops to pull me over...

is it hitting the support bracing of the bonnet or the actual bonnet skin?

I have cut the support braces off, its touching on the bonnet itself where the corner of the inlet manifold is... i really dont like driving around with my bonnet half open LOL

Take it to a crash shop and ask if they can nicely put a controlled dent in it or something.. Looks like you may have to go some sort of bonnet scoop, shell out for an aftermarket plenum or thought about grinding the plenum yet?

Have you tried to space the rear of the bonnet up using a spacer between the bonnet and hinge?

Or space the engine crossmember down a bit using some big washers?

Yer i tried spacing up the rear of the bonnet and didnt work, im not going to play with the cross member for obvious reasons, looks like its going to have to be a bonnet scoop...

      High temp brake fluid?

      By PranK · Posted

      In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR.

      RB25DET in GTS4 R32 conversion

      By Jason Abell · Posted

      For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.

      RB26 AWD Sump / RB25 AWD Stagea Sumps - Are they the same?

      By Jason Abell · Posted

      I have information on this for anyone that comes looking again. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18gsbFaYTU/ The rb25det neo from the stagea has the same sumo as rb26 and r32 gts4 (and other awd models). The sump that has caused so many problems during swaps are from the awd neo Gloria's. The casting numbers on the block and oil pans are different so this may help identify if you can't confirm where the motor came from

      Not feasible to fix the boot lid you had? Damage looked minor/hard to even see :p Source: Drove into something recently and you should be happy you didn't!

      Another new used boot arrived at the painters, it was sent back as there was nearly as much damage as the original one I want to replace  Finding a clean used boot lid is proving problematic, and I'm not keen on dropping $1500 on a new one from Mazda Sigh....
