Well I figure its about time I did a little update on the R30 I brought 6months or so back.

Im not posting any photos yet as I want to do a before and after piece.

however I have since getting it done the following..

-stripped and replaced the interior and fitted recaro seats

-added gauges oil,water,volts

-fitted blitz SBC ID 2 boost controller

-facelift front, all but the bonnet

-fitted 17” original goods wheels

-exhaust changed 3’ right through

-new intake and filter

-stripped all sound deadening all 32.3kgs worth!

-fitted genuine mirrors

-fitted R32 brakes (still figuring out the best option for tie rods)

-s13 coilovers front

-r33 coilovers rear

-10mm rear wheel spacers (when you see pics you will understand)

-standard side skirts fitted

-two tone paint

Also on the weekend I did a dyno day just thought id see how she was going..

Now the engine is 2.2ltr has forged pistons a full metal head gasket plus a Vg30 turbo with large intercooler a bosch 650hp fuel pump and a mines computer it has standard injectors..

It made 171.5rwkw@ 14.3 psi but was starting to lean so it could not run higher than that the tuner said with bigger injectors it would easily go way past there saying it felt very strong..

How ever im happy with this power for now it wont put the power to the road until 3rd anyway and am running 235s!

How big you want the injectors Marc?

I have a NEW set of 570cc Siemens Deka injectors I probably wont be using, but need a 14mm O'ring fuel rail to fit them.

Also 6 x 460cc S2 RX7 and connector plugs to suit that you can have real cheap.

Your stock injectors are 375cc.

"a full metal head gasket"

Your gunna be sooooorrry!

Where is your safety valve, for when you detonate for lean out, or a bad dose of fuel, or whatever?

what who when where? lol gasket was prefitted i didnt put it on the car it seems fine i think ill be fine..

im not sure about injectors at this point ill probably just get 510cc mitsubishi ones but not sure just yet it all depends on if i want to go further with it which at this point i dont.

iv got the car weighing 1073kgs with me in it so that plus 171kw its very quick imo..

as for pics they will come but i want to finish it first so i can do before and after

AAAAAH this car!! I know it well...Randy from Nissco (in Halbert St Bayswater) built it with his son Vincent (orig owner a few years back)

They commented that it was one of the only FJ's they had to chain down on the dyno as it kept trying to jump off the rollers! Came on boost VERY hard.

WOW this looks so much better too... what did you use for the lower half paint? details???

I really like the rims, they look like what was going around in 1984. What $$$ you chasing?

Get it finished for the Skyline Nationals too, only a few months to go. September.

    • Nissan/Pitwork is fine stuff. HKS is just marketing wank. I personally wouldn't do the idler if it is already new. If it looks and feels fine, it is fine. But as D says - it's cheap to add it to the job. The water pump ditto. Even more so. If it show no signs of problems, then it is nearly new - leave it.
    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.
    • How to wreak havoc at a bogans party... Swap out the goon bag hanging from the clothes line with oil bag... Watch chaos ensue during Goon of Fortune....
    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
