Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8


Recommended Posts

I haven't really taken any mate. Car isn't at home at the moment. Are you looking at doing a twin 3 inch?

Yea mate, I'm doing a twin 3inch on my 32. I got AES building me some custom mufflers ATM, so I won't have any clearance issues, mine will be alil diffrent, as I'm running twin 3inch to the diff and than 4inch into the rear muffler.

Rang NPC and Exedy today. Exedy were pretty damn helpful. What I need is the dimensions and tooth count of this spline hub. They might have something off the shelf which might suit me to a tee and just plonk it in my casing. Sounds good to me.

Basically its tuned length front pipes, into a muffler where the stocker lives which has two 3 inch 'holes', twin 3 inch out then it joins into one piece around the diff. Not enough room for two pipes. Then back out into twin 3 inch, muffler then twin tips.

yeh those tuned length front pipes in particular is what I wanted a pic of, just to get a rough idea on how they went about em, as theres so many different ways to run em.

Cheers

I know the rear one wraps over the front pipe. Makes getting them off an absolute bastard.

I just went through my photobucket, no pics of the fronts there :(.

If Exeedy can't supply a centre hub for your clutch to match your input shaft, they may be able to provide you with something that will be close. Ie, sharing the same number of splines, but a fraction too small for the shaft.

Given to a machine shop with a CNC EDM wire cutter, they could quickly re-cut the spline to suit your requirements.

I've heard similar good reports about the NPC carbon clutches too. Streetable etc. There was a guy up here with an 800ish hp R34 that used an NPC clutch to allow the holinger box to link up properly. My exeedy carbon D twin is taking some getting used too. It tends to slip when its cold, but get it hot just once and it holds really well. It would be interesting to know if the NPC's also have to be up to temperature to get them to hold.

I'll see what comes up in the next few days. I'll get the relevant info off PPG and go from there. Thanks for the info, Ian!

I had custom tuned length front pipes on my GTR years ago, it definitely kept the gearbox oil warm

And the heat that comes through the floor, esp passenger side. Jesus!

Nothing yet, Eric. Car is still at the panel beaters.

Oil still hasn't been drained out of the box yet lol.

Michael Hill has given me his spare stock GTR box so hopefully over the Easter break I'll get it in then get my one stripped down.

I am considering putting a PPG dog set into a Getrag. The ratios are pretty sweet, even with the 4.11's, although would be better with the taller diff ratios.

You're having problems finding a center hub for the larger input shaft?

I had that problem when I went with the PPG dog box and larger spline input. Ended up going with a twin carbonetic clutch which has the optional center hub that fits the ppg input.

That's good to know, cheers! What does it drive like?

I'm really liking this getrag idea. Does anyone know what tail shaft to use with the Getrag in a 33? I know you use the R34 front shaft but not sure on the rear. I'm assuming the 34 unit also?

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
