Jesus nick I can't believe your building another motor!

Nice, can't wait to see it out and about... Powercruise this year?

The rb26 came with the car so this is the first motor I've built for it(and hoping to keep it that way). Powercruise would be nice but I'm not sure it'l be done by then... starting the understand the meaning of time poor :(

nice mate! you are a brave man to buy fatz's old 31... lol. :) full credit to keeping it going and tidying the old beast up. I've been in it years ago when fatz first put the XR6 tubz on it with fatz laughing like a giant school girl beside me as he drifted the thing. not the safest feeling in the world!!

it's always been a cool car though and with the new full race set-up and the weds it looks shit hot.

Brings back memories of the test drive before I bought it lol.

Bit of an update. Still going backwards (stripping parts from the car) but getting closer to the point where I can start putting it back together.

Sound deadening is next up, then it's off to the fabricator.

Std body wiring loom is weighty, looks like custom is the go.

Picked up a flat wheel - great bit of gear

Some time before heading to the drags it was reversed into by a careless council worker so I took the opportunity to fit a uras kit and a wingless boot. Std 4 stud rear axles were fitted so it could be driven to the paint shop and a few weeks later into storage.

It looked pretty odd with std 4 stud wheels!

Revised catch can (routing blowby to the back of the car)

OS quad plate, pita to fit with the motor in - would have been a lot easier to remove the motor & box together and work on it that way!

Just my luck, the day I flew out the bloody axles arrived....

Roughly 1 month after leaving we returned to Perth for a friends wedding... the plan was to fit the axles, shoot the car for HPI, check the tune and get to the drags again.

Sean at ASG ran it up on his hub dyno, without the slipping clutch and wheelspin the 6boob related boost control issues were even worse, with boost creeping to 1.7bar.

Unfortunately bad weather saw the drags cancelled, but at least the axles were fitted.

And the rear wheels back on.

The weather meant we weren't able to get any good shots for the article besides a few in the garage..

It was then back into storage for the end of '08 and most of '09.

What Wheels Are they Mate and where did you pick em up from?

SSR Professor SP1 18x9 +16 & 18x10 +11 - C-Red in Perth imported them for me a few years ago. They've since been sold and will be going onto a friends dr30!

Not really much in the way of interesting updates. I've stripped all the sound deadening, hopefully picked up a fresh head with some larger cams, springs, retainers (more on this when it arrives) and the new turbo finally arrived. Geoff at fullrace talked me into going larger than I had originally planned, together with inconel studs etc.

Re-tapped the manifold M10 x 1.5 for the inconel studs, quite the pita with very shallow tapped holes. Getting just on three turns on the shallowest of them which is border-line ok.

    • So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.
    • Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
    • So awesome! I love the RB with the exhaust on display.
    • NO HITS PRICE DROP   ENGINE - $8.5k ONO TRANSMISSION - $1.8k ONO  
    • If it has had a code in the recent past, the code should still be there waiting to be read.
