whatsisname Posted December 7, 2003 Author Share Posted December 7, 2003 Knore, Do you mean EVERYTHING? As in all internal engine work, bolt-ons (turbo, FMIC etc...) & all lines polishing and so on...??? If so I'd take a few months at a rough guess. Sourcing all the parts, getting the time to do the work & then setting everything up can easily blow out to faaar longer though! If you mean just the appearance stuff, then ~2-3wks. All the best with it, which ever way you decide to go mate. Hip, Naa not finished yet. Still got a few more little things up my sleeve. The fuel lines & Speedflow fittings are yet to be done (see f/hose on inner LHS guard). The polished turbine heat shield is yet to go on. A few more silicon lines, new stainless clamps etc... Polished radiator air guide. New seats will go in early in the new yr too. The list is endless......

Cubes Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 So is there coolant under that radiator cap? When's it getting tuned? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/28504-my-new-engine-tuning-update-25psi-s-d/page/4/#findComment-606048 Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatsisname Posted December 15, 2003 Author Share Posted December 15, 2003 No coolant, just water for the run in phase. It'll go straight on the dyno, but only for a basic check & a bit of load to help with ring bed in. It'll be a few wks before any serious dyno work takes place.

Cubes Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 I've never ran in a motor. Do you feel it start to loosen up and start to feel a bit gutsier or is that just an old myth?

Steve Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Joel, I have found they tend they start to feel more responsive, rev easier and pull harder, but I have only run in 2 engines, and it could be a case of wishful thinking. Then again, I rode my brothers new bike (picked it up), then again in a couple of months and it definately felt alot more responsive.

whatsisname Posted December 15, 2003 Author Share Posted December 15, 2003 I hadn't actually Hip! Edit - Ok... you busted me Steve Well I picked the car up yesterday (15Dec) & after 80k’s it already feels soooo good to be driving a Skyline again! The down side is having to do 2000k's of painfully tame running in mileage The engine starts & runs as if it were still stock on the inside (nice & smooth - nil piston slap). It actually feels "more" responsive than I recall, possibly helped by a dump pipe change & lighter reciprocating mass. It also still has plenty of RB25DET off-boost torque, something I’ll be using a lot in the next few 1000k’s. I might see a few of you in the hills in the coming wks, I’ll be the one driving very sedately: ) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/28504-my-new-engine-tuning-update-25psi-s-d/page/4/#findComment-608485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Good to hear your behind the wheel again. The reason is probably feels more responsive is the fact that you have compression on all 6 cylinders:p Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/28504-my-new-engine-tuning-update-25psi-s-d/page/4/#findComment-608831 Share on other sites More sharing options...
