This is them!

They are prone to rust, so check your new baby over carefully, and cut out any corrosion pronto. There are a ton of other model skylines to poach parts from. Are you thinking of keeping it stock, or modifying?

hey a local!

you've come to the right place mate. what do u plan to do with it??

i go to the sunny coast semi-often. id love to see your beast some time. is it that white one from ebay last week??

Coupe i want to know why your bonnets are so rust free :thumbsup: and how much power the white girl is making?

Ha ha! Having owned a handfull of rusty Datsuns and Hondas I made sure to hang onto the two really rust-free and original examples that I found over the years! Also I keep them under cover, and have a mate who is handy with a welder, so when the inevitable bubble pops up it gets cut out and burnt at the stake as a warning to corrosion in general.

The white car makes 0 horsepower as it doesn't run at the moment (see timing fail post). If I can get the damn thing started it's going straight to Lam's automotive in Daylesford to get the cam dialled and timed, the new triples jetted and rebuilt if necessary, and then the whole lot tuned on a dyno. You can bet Ill be posting the results as soon as I get them. Previous best with (hateful) English SU carbies on a smokey L26 was an ok but basically unthrilling 140hp at the rear wheels. Hopefully a fresh, triple Dell'ortoed, flat-topped pistoned L28 is going to put out a bit more than that. However... I think the car is fun to drive mostly thanks to a close-ratio 5-speed and 4.8:1 LSD. Not a huge top end, but it accelerates a treat!

    • Ahh got it. Well maybe install a drain for the catch can somewhere down low and accessible like a wheel well too....
    • Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf
    • I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf  
    • yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things
    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
