Hi, it is a slow process but it looks like it going to cost me about $12,000+ for this motor rebuild + extras.

I had a look at the no.1 piston when they got the motor apart and had cracked ring landing. Scored the bore, hopefully machinable to 20 thou, cause from old motor, or maybe over boosting it without tuning. (My bad). Either way it was needing a rebuild in time to come.

I found I had a nismo single spring button clutch in the car, so just going to reco that. - $800+

The type of pistons that I'm going to use are called Arie's/Aeries something like that. (Forged Pistons)

The turbos I'm going to use are called 2830 -5 twins I think. Can anyone tell me anything about them?

And the P.F.C I was thinking about using is called WOLF. Does anyone know of these computers?

Thankyou

Hi,

I had a rebuild on my R32 at Racepace, where are getting it rebuilt? I also used Arias Forged pistons. Arias are a very well respected brand, but more important is your rebuilder is experienced with the piston and not have too much clearance. Ben knows exactly how much is too much and used the tightest setting and I had absolutely no rattle on start up and near zero engine roughness.

I dont know what the 2830's are (are they HKS?) but I know a popular turbo is the HKS GT2530's. I opted for the HKS GT-SS which are slightly smaller, but are a little more responsive. Had 90% peak power buy 4000rpm till redline so it made driving it very easy. Dyno gave 313rwkw, with GT2530 prob would have been around 330+rwkw.

As for ECU, I PFC refers to the A'Pexi Power FC. Its an excellent option cos its plug and tune, whereas other standalones may need new sensors and rarely have a base map so install costs are much more. I was thrilled with mine but it doesnt matter what you use, its who tunes it that matters.

All I can say is you're going through an expensive exercise so dont skimp on costs, get the best parts and builder you can afford. Better to pay more once than pay less twice. I spent about $20k all up (which is on the expensive side) but I never had a problem and the car drove beautifully. Even my friend mentioned it drove smoother than his stock rex.

      Nismo 1.5 way Stub axle issue

      By OO Dan OO · Posted

      It depends on what the guy who bought its Ratio is. Mine is a 4.36 Jus Jap told me anything above a 3:9 has equal length shafts which the Nismo center's shafts were not.

      Nismo 1.5 way Stub axle issue

      If those shafts in the last 2 photos are the ones that came with the diff, you have no hope of fitting the other ones because they are completely different

      Nismo 1.5 way Stub axle issue

      By OO Dan OO · Posted

      I have recently fitted a Nismo GT Pro Center second Hand buy still in the box i got stubs with it but they are 5 bolt and I need 6 (3x2) I was told by Just Jap that for a 4:36 ratio the stub axles are equal length sku 38220-0V161. They didn't have any in stock but I picked up the ones pictured. The one with 5 bolt are the ones that came with the LSD. The right side went in no issues but the right....I have happened the fk out of it put it in a press and it still sticks out about 5mm too far. It was sticking out about 25mm but after bashing it like Chris Brown did to Rhianna I managed to get it a bit further in but seems stuck again now. Any ideas? Should I just leave it 5mm out and send it?

      Meh. I "see" a typo above, that should have been "sell".

      Nismo copper mix twin “pull” pedal height engagement

      The clutch pedal has a procedure for adjustment. This can only be done after you are 100% sure the system is absolutely free of air bubbles. You must bleed the clutch master cylinder first, then the "separation pipe" which is the clutch damper line, then the operating cylinder as detailed in the service manual. Also, you must fully depress the clutch pedal between shifts. Just because you can't feel it grabbing does not mean the input shaft is truly decoupled from the crank. At high RPM clutch plates are vibrating and moving around, you need to give it the best possible chance of success. On the BCNR33 Nissan revises these adjustment procedures slightly but not by much: I would be careful with trying to play games with these adjustments. As for the Nismo operating cylinder they say a lot of things. In practice the twin plate clutch needs less movement on the clutch fork to disengage because the whole stackup of the flywheel + friction plates + pressure plate is much taller. Personally if you find that the clutch still disengages too high at the top of the travel I would try the Nismo operating cylinder. Make sure to follow the air bleed procedures.
