Thanks gents.. the manifold really is a very nice thing to look at.

Mr Baron - yes full race manifold. Geoff talked me into an 88-75 with 1.00ar rear, it will be replaced by an efr down the track once they're 'sorted' and available (there was a lot of negativity around the time I ordered so I thought I'd bide my time!).

Great stuff... interested in seeing the results.

cool. the 88-75 should be pretty good. it's still a 2.6 yeah?

It will be going on an rb30 bottom end. I spent a bit of time talking it over with Geoff and he convinced me the 83-75 is perfect on an rb26 but too small on a 30. We will see I guess!

Have you by any chance test fitted the manifold on the engine in the bay? How would it go for room running the ext gates with how the inlet pipes are sitting now?

I've only trial fitted the manifold using a gt35 on the old rb26 (pics at the bottom of the first page) - the manifold fouled on the steel hr engine mounts but the extra deck height on the rb30 should clear that up. The front gate sits pretty close to the strut tower and the gate plumbing is going to be interesting. The inlet and ic pipes shouldn't be an issue though.

Hey Corey - a good mate lent me his spare 26/30 to trial fit various bit's and pieces so I can answer you now. The manifold places the turbo higher than the motor, I have only a few mm clearance between the bonnet and comp cover (less than I have btw the motor and bonnet). The front waste gate sits pretty close to the strut tower as well. As mentioned before the gate plumbing will be fun.

Few more pictures/updates given there isn't much real progress :P

Was disappointed to find the ati balancer fouls on the radiator when the pump drive is fitted so it's for sale and will be replaced by a custom (shorter) balancer. Hopefully the Ross alternative is as good as the ati...

Still waiting on the new head from Brad, it's coming together with a big single pump which should be a lower risk option than running a couple 044's in parallel.

Sound deadening is all gone, rebuilt and powder coated the pedal assembies & now in the middle of putting it back together. Turns out hr's come with n1 spec brake booster so it's off for a rebuild.

Dummied up the rail and 1600cc injectors on the old motor to check fitment.

Fuel cell complete with e85 specific foam and a couple of curious russians!

That is a nice tight fit. Looks awesome sitting in there though. I have a 31 sitting next my 32 at home will have to take some measurements the fullrace mani is absolute porn.

    • From my bolts, standard M8 with 1.25mm thread pitch (M8x1.25mm).    Length is 19mm under the head and has a captive 18mm OD flat washer.   20mm length from a bolt shop is what you'll be able to get.   Make sure they're zinc plated.    If you're concerned about strength, grade 8.8 will be more than enough. Original PN is 01121-04971.  Now discontinued according to Amayama but that's because it's one of the parts that's been captured by the Heritage program, which explains the ridiculous price.   New PN is 01121-RHR20: https://nismodirect.com/nismo-heritage-bolt-pin-hinge-hood-bnr32-nissan-skyline-gt-r-01121-rhr20-01121-04971/ About AUD33 converted from Yen in the above link but that's just one example. Interesting that the hinge-to-body bolts are still available non-heritage.....PN 08116-8161G around $2 each (amayama).    Same thread but 16mm long.
    • Well, if that filter was impeding fluid flow, then it could have similar effects to faulty solenoids. The TCU will register a fault when it does something (ie, changes the state of a solenoid) and does not detect the required result. If there are other causes that can make the same lack of result, then they will be indistinguishable to the expected cause for which the TCU has a code.
    • Yellowjackets, red ones, blue ones (other than Splitfire) have all been demonstrated to be unreliable on turbo engines. That unreliability can be anything from outright failure (ie, 4 out of a set of 6 working out of the box) to just not being strong enough for the task, on a boosted engine. Not enough of us care about NA engines to know whether that unreliability is an issue for the undemanding needs of an NA RB20. I should think though that the DIS-008 should fit the 20. There's not really any reason for the head/coil mounting area to be any different on those 2 Neos. I wouldn't be buying Splitfires, or any other old tech coilpack, for a car in this day and age though. I would buy modern pencil coils and do what needs to be done to adapt them to the loom. That's relatively trivial these days, with numerous kits for fitting R35, or Audi, or Yaris/Corolla coils.
    • Keen to see how much work is needed to get an abandoned Skyline going. My R32 has been sitting idle for three years or so but finally got some time to get it going again. (Also lurking SAU and trying to hit 10 posts so I can start my own intro thread with pics)
    • Hi. Which coilpacks can i use in my engine? I looked at the Splitfire but the closest "match" i found was SP-DIS-008 but even that they do not show RB20DE NEO so iam not 100% sure. Or maybe different one which will 100% work? I saw many on ebay but they are some cheap "strange" ones. What about Yellow Jackets? Many thanks 🙂
