Yeh, but with the plenum and E85 with the baby 256/8.5mm Poncams to try in the stocker with Procams for the built motor, I want to see how long a 300rwkws RB20 will live....my money is a long time...so want the opportunity to test the thinking :)

Not that silly an option Fran!

I'd like to lick it Roy...... you sending it up too? :P

Usual conditions apply... happy to see it go to a good home. Only I want to wait and see if i will need it in case the plenum is crap and all the ravings reviews I have read on them are about as good as some of the other fanboy reviews on parts I have wasted money :)

Its a Plazmaman. Now that I have my SARD 700cc injectors I went to dummy fit it all to my spare manifold and just realised that GTR fuel rails do not fit RB20s. :whistling: So looks like the SARD will be going into the std RB20 fuel rail...i hope they fit :)

And some Whiteline rear arms which will take most of the weekend to paint :ninja:

dont stress brus, i can get a billet rail made, only need the centre to centre measurements for the injectors and the injector o ring size you want to run. i could even dummy one up here.

heres some pics of some rails we have made.

I like the whiteline idea. more info for those that know what it is but do not fully understand teh effects of it.(bear in mind I have hicas and I'm keeping it.)

They are only really needed if you are running sticky tyres and need to run more camber then you can otherwise get out of offset bushes. I like how they still use bushes rather then rose joints. Sure they may not be as hardcore but I am old and dont want noisy suspension, just noisy engine :blush:

Also, the Procams that I picked up out of a blown motor are no good. It seems that whilst the scoring may be able to be repaired the keyway on the exhaust cam which drives the CAS has been snapped off somewhere along the line. SO if someone wants an inlet cam that may be able to be saved, or a pair of Tomei Procams that they want to give to their local cam profiler to copy then if you pay postage then they are all yours.

I will sell you the Tomei solid lifters you require to run with these cams on an R32 RB20/RB25DE :down:

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
