I have nothing against rotary engines, in fact I love them and the sound they make, but I have to agree with the whole 3.9L displacement argument as each rotor has 3 combustible sides to it for every one rotor revolution (not crank or eccentric shaft revolution).

Yeah that's true but only one side of the rotor get's used per revolution of the output (Eccentric) shaft so there for only 1.3 litres (0.66 x 2 for a 13B) gets used per revolution. You need to forget about the revolution of the rotor becasue everything is measured (RPM and Power) on the output shaft on every engine. You never see a piston speed gauge on your dashboard do you. It's like saying that the rotation of the cam shaft is vital to the running of a 4 stroke engine so really the redline of our nissan engines is really around the 3750 rpm mark.

what is this? i know its a drive shaft.. or is it drive shaft AND tail shaft....

it come out of teh vl with 20, so is it specific to vl rb20 or will it suit 25, 30, R31's etc?

sellin it on ebay thats all :laugh:

the output shafts for RB30e and the RB20 gearboxes are the same so it's a VL tailshaft and will suit anything with either of those GB's. I haven't mentioned the 30et's because i'm not sure if the output shafts are the same, as i'm lead to believe that they had a stronger box so they may have a different output shaft.

go for it, what have you got to lose. It's much the same as just pulling the engine out and putting it back in with the nissan stuff as it's all pretty modular.

My conversion for instance;

RB25 > S13

-Use a Cheffy X member that bolts straight up to the S-Series chassis rails.

-Then use RB20 Engine mounts brackets, that bolt straight up to the 25

-Use some off the shelf rubber mounts (i have some ideas here but we'll see if they will work and or be an improvement on the RB20 mounts.

-The only bit that has to be custom made is the gearbox X-member, which is no problem for me and infact i'll be making up some CNC brackets that Matt can then sell.

-Almost forgot the custom tail shaft which will cost $250 for an engineering fabriction place that makes tails shafts.

There you go the mechanical part is done.

Stolen from ns.com but lol's all around... Fast and the Furious-styles.

ive seen worse ones, that are obviously made up,

one of a skyline i think that was "going too fast for me to get the number plates" or "car was drifting behind me so i pulled over because i was scared"

so, had a couple problems with the 200 at the track day;

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
