So this car has been off the road for about 3 to 4 years since it was broken into and trashed, and me and my housemate decided a few days ago "wouldnt it be fun to just strip it down as far as it would go and start from nothing and build it up to be a pretty little street machine with some balls to boot." Im not in any rush to get it on the road, ive still go a daily, my work 4x4 patrol (which btw is awesome for picking up parts in fits everything), and im also in the market to get an audi a4 quattro as a daily. Since im sick of driving a truck as a daily pretty much. It took us 4 hours to strip the entire interior out, since btw we have no idea what we are doing we are just being super careful. And as i disconnect all the wires ive been labeling them so i dont forget or get anything mixed up.

On that note, stripping it down im finding alot of wires that dont go anywhere which or bodgy zip tied wires that lead to the computer or the engine bay... and also the little clip into something else ones that arent clipped into anything. I will posts picks later on about wat i mean.

Under the hood.

So im still unsure whether to take the engine out and replace it or just make the rb20 nice neat and tidy, since im not interested in massive amounts of power but i also want it to look nice which it seems everything nowdays is a rb25 or 26... but as ive been looking around there arent many parts for sale for rb20s like intake plenums and highmount manifolds and watnot. not that i can find anyway.

Exterior.

So far ive bought uras side skirts and rear bar, also some bulky drift front bar which looks plain but has big gaps to show off a front mount and oil cooler. also go ahold of some tidy gtr front guards. and im in the market for a gtr bonnet and probably some ganador mirrors before being happy with the outside of the car.

Interior.

Stripped everything out, there is nothing but the handbrake gear lever and wires and steering thingy inside the car. deciding whether i want to keep carpet in it or not or just leave in metal and polish it and put some nice mats down or something and just feed all the wires through the roof lining or soemthing. other than that im jsut trying to get ahold of a tidy dash entire part including centre console and the plastic pieces since they were all snapped and holes in them and watnot.

Well thats wat ive got to say so far. il post picks up as soon as i take some more tidy ones.

Btw i also scored my brothers fuel system out of the Drag Me silvia since he is stripping it, like an 050 fuel pump to a surge tank to another 050 fuel pump. lawl. Freebies are awesome, thinking bout hitting him up for the trust 6 speed dog box hes got lying at my work haha. bit overkill for a street car though. can hear it from a mile away.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      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.
