hopefully by the end of this year start of next, then we'll be talking fast. apparently the engine has something like 600nm's stock , with a blower OMG!!! that would be stupid, and im just the young stupid guy to do it!!!

good work NA_33 !

just a quick word on half cuts... (just finished a turbo conversion in my little Bro's L Series Subaru)

Check how long its being sitting around, coz the radiators tend corrode when empty - get it thoroughly flushed.Do the same with the water pump - there buggers to get out once the engines in.

just a couple of things i found out thrpugh experience - blocked water galleries in the block - pains in the a** to flush out !

best of luck anyway :)

hahahaha, yeah true!!

New Update:

The engine is now out of the halfcut and we discovered a broken timing chain guide so that has slowed things up abit but apart from that the engine internally looks awesome, never been to hot or run out of oil and all parts have minimal where its unreal. Tomorrow ill pulling the engine out of my car and trial fitting the V8 and making engine mounts so it all seems to be coming together, ill try get some pics together.

Cheers

yeah mate thats my install which is now all chopped up, and no i dont have ne in the build process other then that one, that was the unfinished state. Ive got pics of the build process for the new install. Pm me if you want details on how i built the one in my avatar, the best way would be to meet up some time and explain it to you, its kinda of hard to describe.

Genesis: If i wasnt at uni i would say almost definately, but it will be very tight mate, we'll see.

Update:

Ive done some more research and found a site with approx 600 posts with the same problem though everyone of these people had the timing chain jump teeth on the cam sprokets causing complete engine failure. So i have been very lucky with the engine and very lucky we found the problem and this website. Nissan rectified the problem in 94 with different tensioners so i now have a 10 day wait for the parts to come from Japan. I also managed to talk southport nissan into letting me see the wiring diagram for the car they generally dont show neone from the public nething like this.

someone wanna give me there number or give them a tip?? thats like a dream of mine. one day it will be worthy...

Email Ben Ellis, he is an absolute top bloke and is the publisher for HPI, you can find his email address on the contents page of every issue, but here it is, ben@hot4s.com.au good luck mate.

hahaha, im never gonna here the end of this auto, i want to put a manual in, my mechanic, good friend, person doing majority of the conversion for me for free (all the same person) is very very persuasive, and "hi powered autos are awesome for drag racing, ur leaving it auto John" is what im told and thats how its gonna be.

    • I just changed the timing belt on my RB25DET NEO and wanted to get some opinions. I’ve been super cautious, did a lot of research, and took my time. I’ve driven the car, and it runs fine. After warming it up, I revved it to 8000 RPM a few times—no issues, everything held up.   After the drive, I heard a noise that I think is either the clutch or possibly a tight accessory belt. It’s not constant, just comes and goes.   I took the timing cover off to double-check everything:   Belt is on properly, Tensioner is tight, Did the 90-degree twist test—belt isn’t too tight or too loose.     What still worries me is that I noticed the belt seems to sit a little toward the front edge of the gears, especially on the idler pulley. It even looks like it’s slightly coming off the edge there. Is that normal?   My old belt (5 years old, ~3,000 miles) also showed a bit of wear on that same edge, so maybe it’s just how it sits? I’m probably overthinking this, but since it’s my first time doing this on a NEO and the engine is forged, I really don’t want to mess anything up.   Also, I’m thinking of swapping to a clear front timing cover with the glass window. Would you recommend NITO or HPI? HPI looks reputable and their covers have 2.5mm thickness, but not sure if there’s a real difference between the two.   Any advice or reassurance would be much appreciated!
    • 40 grit sounds about right, to start. You make some decent cuts/damage in the coating with that, then rapdily scale up to maybe 80 and 120 for the bulk of the actual removal, then fine it off to 180 or 240 perhaps. No need to go any finer than that, and maybe no need to go even as fine as that. Wrap it on a big block and have at it. At least on the hub face.
    • Do the GKTech rear lower control arm mount relocation, and either alloy subframe inserts or very stiff subframe bushes. Traction is going to be at a premium!
    • Hello,   My name if Frederick, i'm 30 years old and I live in Belgium, Europe! I used to have a Nissan 370z daily but since I got a company car I turned that into my seattime driftcar. About 3 years ago I also wanted something older with more feel, so I got an R32 GTST with an rb26 engine. I am now getting the rb built to have around 800hp and it's close to being finished. I'm very excited for how it will drive and how driveable it will be! Regards, Fred!
    • Appreciate the insight! Talked to some local folks and they basically told me "it's not that deep." As long as the threading on the inside matches what's at the steering rack, everything else can be constructed-to-fit. There are full aftermarket kits I can use - probably better for my car overall since it's lowered.  Example: GKTech M14 Super Adjustable Inner Tie Rod Set - Nissan Skyline R32 R33 R33, 240SX, 300ZX, 350Z / Infiniti G35 M14I-TROD-2 gktM145-TROD gktM14I-TROD - Concept Z Performance (These can be packaged with their "high misalignment" tie rod ends).
