you should look at it now because you will only be out of pocket an extra $1000 buy the time you do the maths.

have a read of this and see what you are up for.

Yeah tweety Ive read that thread, I've always been concerned about the need to change more of the things in the engine bay; wiring loom, ECU, all plumming etc..

you dont need to change the loom or ecu?

the loom only attaches to the head, which is still rb26 and the ecu would be changed and tuned as its a modified engine,

plumming is getting custom made as youre using a big single...so only the adaptor plate is different.

I'm not building a RB26/30, hence no research... I'm building a RB26 and I know enough about them to complete this build just fine, but thanks for the concern.. I've been researching RB26 builds for the last 5 years or so as I always knew I was buying a GTR and I have always loved a high revving RB26 :thumbsup:

Yeah okay, well a little miss understanding but thats cool..

No real updates today, still waiting on rims from Japan, car from body shop and engine from engine builder hahaha Good things come to those who wait so i guess I'll wait some more...

Hey mate,

where and how much exactly are you getting the rear diffuser from?

Cheers,

Sorry mate, the panel shop ordered it from Nissan Japan brand new.

Not sure but the genuine brand new wheels, front and rear diffusers, nismo rear pods and side skirts were $13700 delivered...

So I'm guessing it was fairly pricey... Haha

Hey guys,

Things have been a little slow lately, waiting for the parts from Japan..

I went to see Tony at knight engines today, porting is getting done and the block should be finished at the machine shop today :thumbsup:

The engine will be fitted next tuesday or Wednesday by Shaun at boostworx and all custom piping ect. made up to suit..

Then it's on with the two piece rotors and up on the boost haha

Photos up shortly.. Now things are arriving, things will be flowing along alot quicker!!

Cheers

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
