Gents,

Well the time has finally come.

After years of being on the forums reading and watching many fine cars get built, I have finally taken the step to rebuild my motor.

After all, for a 21 year old birthday present, what could an old Datsun want?

So,

After many ear bending conversations with people both on and off the forums, I made my mind up to build a motor.

2.6 fully built or a mild build that keeps the car within the design plan set out from Nissan or go a slightly different route.

As a few of you will understand, I got hooked on track days / nights here in Perth.

And having been bitten by the bug, the idea to take the next step started to develop.

All of that changed though, after Gav let me have a few hot laps in his GTR.

Needless to say the 2.8 bug bit and bit hard.

I was gob smacked at the liner power delivery and the big fat torque band that the motor had!

I had to have one.

Finally after months of searching I came upon a brand new unused step 2 2.8 HKS Kit here in Perth.

I sorted out a price for the kit with the previous owner as well as snapping up a brand new N1 Block as well.

(Unfortunately the previous owner didn't go through with his build)

So i have the ingredients to start my build.

As items are purchased I will throw up the photos.

And a comprehensive photographic build library will be constructed.

At this point the goal for the car will be 480 - 500 RWHP working on 90% of the motors capabilities.

If I get more so be it, but the car will be mainly used for street and track work (1 Track meet a month and about 1000km's a month street)

I am going to build it right from the get go and hopefully not have to do it again for a very long time. (Touch Wood)

Parts List to source at the moment **

HKS Oil Pump

N1 Water Pump

Hi Octane Steel Fabricated Sump

1 Way Front Diff to be installed

HKS Fuel Rail

HKS Injectors

Nismo Fuel Pump

New Head with Port & Polish

1mm Over size valves

** Will add to the list as I have time.

So it is not complete at this time.

Forgive me for the quality of the photo's

I was in a bit of a rush to get home.

Cheers

Mike

Running HKS 680cc Injectors with HKS rail and NISMO 280 P/L Fuel Pump

D-Jethro PFC will run the whole shebang

Car will remain as she does in the picture.

* have removed the Blacksun Imports stickers off the flanks

Nice choice mate i think you will be happy with the outcome. RB28 is one of the best combos around IMHO but in saying that I may be slightly biased. Check out my build thread I imagine it is probably along the lines of what you are aiming for. I will have a few updates in the next week or so now i have finnally managed to find some time to devote to it

Dazmo,

Your thread has been read more times than I care to remember.

ABM,

Andre is not building my engine.

However it is being built at one of the the more well known and proven Workshops here in Perth

Marcus,

Incoming PM

Not sure on the coating,

However everything is band new and only opened by

Me today.

So I would "assume" that they come from HKS as seen in

The picture.

I will follow up on your question however and let you know the answer.

The nickel coating is applied more so for scuff resistance or to aid in the reduction of friction, rather than heat disbursment. I think its a nickel ceramic composite that is applied. Correct me if im wrong!

    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
    • your right the maps for Australia came out in 2017 but are 2010 maps. i got the updated maps SD card put it in and it was the same. Same maps in my Brothers Nissan Patrol. 2020 i think his car is
    • Yeahhhh, the costs have killed me. Spent more than the cost of an engine rebuild and it most mostly servicing and a tune lol.
