I've been driving the car nearlly every day and I'm loving it. It's such a good car to cruise in and when you want to go you just put your foot down.

Still some little teething issues, but nothing major. I'll have to check out the cruise section and come out on a cruise night to meet some SAU members and have a chin wag.

I have made a scoop for the standard inter cooler and installed a turbo smart boost tee. I'm running abit more boost than standard and I'm very happy with the power.

I'd like more though...It's like an addiction. The gearbox makes some funny noise, so looks like I may have to remove it and rebuild it. I don't think that will be easy in my engine bay. You get that.

Nice UC mate, i usualy dont like the UC front end but with that rb25 hummin under it makes it a nice street car.

this thing is nuts, u need to make a thread in a better section where there's more traffic.

Thanks. I didn't know which section to post it in as I couldn't find a project section.

Thanks Ben. We actually used the original engine/under dash harness from the half cut, but we stripped it right back to only what we needed and what we may need in the future including some spares for future installs.

I haven't taken it on the dyno yet. I having some gearbox noise issues and some other rattles. There use to be a shop down in the gong that specialist with skylines, but they have closed down.

I would like to do a track day in the car to see what it can do around eastern creek compared to my bike. Like I mentioned before, I want to get issues sorted out first.

Just a small update...

I've done nearly 30,000 klms since the car was registered. I'm really loving the engine package. Nothing much has change apart PWR alloy radiator after a hitting a kangaroo. Stupid animals.

Working in Sale VIC so I may see you guys getting around soon..

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
