Hard luck rep

Seems there a fair few of us around that like finding the limits of the standard internals of the rb25.....One of you should write a book "What happens when you have too much power and not enough strength"

After your rebuilds, do any of you find it annoying to drive around a 250+rwKw skyline everyday???

Thanks guys , but be warned "This recipe can leave a BAD aftertaste!"

for desert......Arais forgies , rb26rods with a sprinkle of ARP rod bolts :(

Sounds good, dont forget the full balance and O rings. Got the same rig in mine. Bearings I put in were ACL race SR20 Big End and RB30 mains. $140 for the set. Do seals as well. Front and rear all are same as RB30 so 3 front oil pump seals and 1 rear main

I'd say every 'serious' 25t owner gets a taste of this.....some of us twice for a total of 6 dead pistons. :)

Thanks Fane , but the only gas on board that day was the gas eeking outta my butt!

Hoe Train... any exuse for forgies :D

Packy , I'll let you know if living with 250rwkw gets boring ...or if I get arrestted! (more likely)

Skylinegeoff .... All new bearings , seals & belts even "O" ringing block...just cause I Can :burnout:

my right spins when im turning right (in a drift or something), im thinking my diff is ****ed :P

straight-line and full left and a bit to the right it locks up 2 wheels great but as soon as i start turning a bit more to the right during a burnout (on private roads) it open wheelers :( thats a ****ed diff right?

Get a cylinder of industrial oxygen, add an injector on full pulse with a throttle position sensor to switch it all on at full throttle.

Crude but effective. Took a 1.8l Laser Lynx from 10 sec 0-100 to 7 sec flat on stock intake and exhaust, but damn did it burn some plugs out. I'd hate to see the piston tops :(

Geoff your a phsyco fker!! :( i like that

teach me more!! :P

Apparently so....

Thread Hijack!!!!

then put a 30mm sway bar on the rear (custom from whiteline) and watch as every connected component destroys itself, subframe, coilover mounting points, until you have to weld nice solid brackets in place to compensate for the stresses on track...even the handbrake light locked on with the chassis flex.

Oh and then fabricate a custom 2.5 inch straight through exhaust, no cat, no mufflers and a 80mm pod filter through poly drain custom intake then listen to the music :D:D:D

rep...sounds like your build will be nice. PFC too?

R33 Impul ,well, since you STOLE the car I was trying to buy from Paul @ Autoworks a while back now , I'm Not gonna tell ya!!

JK ,tho we were bidding on the same car :D

ALLFAST converters in Perth , talk to Simon , sounds like he knows his stuff! or wait til mine is done and you can take it for a drive :D

Shit sorry bout stealing your car Dude :P

But it would be great if you could take me for a drive when yours is done.

Sorry to go a bit of topic but I have heard that in Jappa's they can fit a 4 speed o/d auto box from a patrol in skylines, have you heard bout this?

I was thinkin bout looking into putting as tip tronic from a R34 in but where to start?...... :spcow:

    • Interesting.  Great info. thank you.  Give a few days to get that name plate.  I have a busy life most weeks.  I will be in touch.
    • Strange your posting about this being an issue. Move the harness or change your wheels or run more camber etc. Have the thing not touch the thing so it doesn't destroy the thing.  Short answer, no. Slightly longer answer, the factory fuel gauge is measuring resistance. You need to wire in the FPG fuel level sender into the original factory fuel level sender wiring.  I drew you a picture to explain this one The factory strainer is quite long, reaching down into the bottom of the tank. Safe bet your aftermarket fuel pump has a little baby sized strainer that probably doesn't even point down towards the bottom of the thank.  Solution, move the pump lower down in the tank, or fit a longer strainer, or do both. I did both, I've run my tank down to 5L remaining and the car still drove fine.   
    • S2/3 GT-R is the same as S2 GTS-t The SRS airbags module in under the centre console. The S1/S1.5 GTS-t and S1 GT-R had the module built into the steering wheel. FWIW, I have a S3 GT-R wheel in my S2 GTS-t shit box. Same airbag plug, airbag light goes on then off, meaning all systems are go. S3 GT-R has red stitching, that's about it.
    • Dumb question, but why would it matter if the wheel came off a car with hicas or not?
    • Hey to anyone that reads this, long time lurker first time posting, sorry if it’s been answered before but I’ve been looking for nearly a year now for answers. ive got a 25det neo in an r32 that works awesome when it works (made 500whp on 21psi) but works 45% of the time, 1st issue there’s a harness that runs under the passengers side front fender that my tire keeps rubbing through and one wire seems to power the fuel pump even though I’ve done the relay “mod” some people like to call it, and when it does rub through it kills the car, yes next time I’m with the car I want to take the fender off and try tuck the harness well out of the way but I’d also like to try and by pass this mysterious wire as well lol, also wouldn’t mind getting power from the alternator as I’ve read it supplies the pump with 13v ? But no idea where to run the power wire too. 2nd issue, when replacing my fuel pump and fuel hanger I managed to break the factory fuel level sender leaving me with no fuel gauge, I’d like to buy the fpg fuel level sender for r32/s13 but the plug it comes with confuses me, I’ve got a detschwerks x1 fuel hanger which has light + pump - level + pump + and a ground, I’m no auto sparky but I’m wondering if I can cut the plug off the fuel level sender and wire the negative to the pump negative and wire the positive to the level positive to get a fuel gauge back ?🥴 3rd and final issue, the reason I want a fuel gauge is because whenever it’s below half a tank, it fuel starves like crazy and runs like a bag of shit even without doing a pull or sloshing the fuel round in the tank, I’d also like to fix this but have no idea what’s causing it, I’ve got a dw420 and a dead head fuel setup meaning the fuel is regulated before it gets to the engine, my only theory is that the return line is to close to the pickup on the pump and when it’s at half a tank the return line is causing the pump to cavitate enough to cause fuel pressure issues, that or the pump isn’t low enough in the tank which I would find strange considering I can’t find a single thing online about it, also if ya wondering how I figured out it happens at half a tank without a fuel gauge, I waited until it started happening and went and filled up and the car took exactly 30 litres every time I tested it, if ya managed to read through this mess I appreciate that and any recommendations , cheers
