skyryan ATWELL represent i went to primary school with your bro

yeah i dont think it will be long till it blows

its surging at idle but only in drive and neutral(its auto)

no idea what it is

i have reset the ecu to no effect

runs perfectly above idle on and off boost

so with the oversized pistons should i wait to get the rebuild kit after the motor has been machined

so i can see what sizes i need

or would most machining places bore the block out to a requested size even if its not needed?

cheers

you may want to look at strengthenin the auto box or a shift kit

you building it yourself? or is a workshop/machine shop assembling it?

id imagine they can just do it without the actual pistons and just the sizes

build a rb25/30 :) torqe ftw!

spoolimports.com has a fair few piston/rod packages

and Sydneykid has used them pumping 500rwhp+ and still running

i am very much leaning towards a 25/30

ill get it done at a shop

any recommendations

a workshop i found has a kit for a 25 $5120 for parts plus labour which that said 1500-1800 depending on the condition of the head

sound ok???

was thinking of manual convertion

or shift kit and oil cooler and some strengthening

havent really researched gearboxs in depth yet

breakdown of the parts? and there individual cost?

labour sounds right, does it include cams?

and i dont think the rb25 pistons would fit a rb25/30

and im sure spools rods r cheapest forged items you will find $645 a set

be fare to say once u get a new turbo, manifold, engine rebuild, ecu and tune

you wont get much change out of 10k

nah no cams

no individual prices

STAGE 1 $3205

cp pistons and rings

eagle H beam conrods

genuine nissan gasket kit

tomei metal head gasket

tomei assembly lubricant

STAGE 2 same as 1 plus

genuine nissan n1 water pump

gates timing belt

$3705

stage 3 plus

ARP head studs

ARP main studs

ACL race main bearings

ACL race conrod bearings

$5120

hmmmm you might as buy one of those rebuild kits off RACESPEC hes a sponsor for the forums and he sells kits for the RB25 which includes CP Pistons, Rings and Rods for 1850 so that saves you a bit on parts and also the main studs and head studs you can get off RACESPEC or high octane racing their website is http://www.hioctaneracing.com.au/eshop/ so i hope that helps anyways :spank: but yeah it'd be cheaper if you buy the parts yourself :P

Cheers

Chi

on the cheap ftw!!

if there is a cheap way to rebuild an engine

definately gonna try to cut costs anywhere possible

but not cut quality

does anyone recommend somewhere or someone to build an engine

cheers matt

yeh fair few machine shops would be able to machine/build it

but u still need a workshop to wack on the turbo (if u cant do it urself)

ummm

u can source it WAAAAAY cheaper if thats w.o labour

check our CRD's package in the sponsor section

they have a nice deal goin on

man the CP package from RACESPEC is quality its cheap :spank: hehehe if u want quality and a price tag bust out some HKS, Tomei, Jun items :P pretty sure they'll make ur wallet lighter ;) but if ur after good cheap quality parts then yeah Hi Octane or RACESPEC is the go :(

Hi octane is over priced, 3.6k not including gst, thats closing in on 4k for

pistons, rings, rod, gasket kit, metal head gasket

RACESPEC is very similar to SpoolImports (10 bucks more for the 25 package)

RB25/26 - $1850.00

RB25/30 or RB26/30 - $2050.00

RB30 - $2050.00

SpoolImports

1. Package deal on 1 set of Spool RB30 H beam conrods with 1 set of Forged CP Pistons and rings. - $1990

2. Package deal on 1 set of Spool RB26/25 H beam conrods with 1 set of Forged CP Pistons and rings. - $1840

Both run CP pistons/some forged rods with ARP bolts

CRD

ARIAS Pistons

EAGLE connecting rods

NISSAN (Genuine) gasket kit

TRUST drag metal head gasket

TRUST camshafts

ACL race series engine bearings

Total price only $3599.00

Same price as Hi-Octane but u get cams and bearings (combined value around 800 more)

Dont forget all these "rebuild" kits

you need to factor in some of the following items if its not included

Gates timing belt $300

crank/main bearings 400-500

gasket kit $500~

Optional

Water pump $200

N1 or higher Oil Pump if your makin decent power $500+

ARP main/head stud kits 600-700

cant just throw in "forge pistons and rods" then go horray! 600hp ftw!

definatly gonna shop around heaps

the racespec ones seem okay

i read somewhere that the n1 oil pump is dodgey on street driven cars

something bout it cant pump enough oil at low rpm or something

not sure how true it is

how long would a rebuild take at a shop

taking into consideration other jobs and all that

cheers

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
