Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8


Recommended Posts

My JB that I had rebuilt recently is softer than the old one, my Starlet clutch feels heavier.

Oh and after putting my big tyres on the back i'm cruising under 3000rpm :) The longer legs are awesome, I actually get boost in first gear now!

So, I went for a drive in Bobby's R34 this arvo. My mind is made up, the OS88 is one amazing bit of kit. There is a bit of a clunk between gears while doodling around which isn't a huge deal. When up it, its very smooth and effortless. I was so surprised at how user friendly it was. I jumped in the drivers seat and played with the clutch - that is NOT how I remember Steveo's OS R3C. Its actually lighter than my Nismo coppermix. It must have something to do with the OS fork which you can buy with the OS88. Yep... that's all I can say lol.

I have a TS3B which is very driveable while I know people with a R3C that are very jerky.

They are cheaper as well and can handle decent power, I just snapped an input shaft with over 700hp and it hasn't skipped a beat.

I just checked and they come with a Hollinger 26 spline option as well :)

No way. It's Nismo. Can't be :P

Like the Nismo cough Toyota cough fuel pump lol

He's talking about my R34 with 3.545s

And to rub salt in, they are probably just standard gears from some 4wd van or something lol

I know the 3.9s are available in a auto rear wheel drive R200 diff from some thing just can't for the life of me remember what, we looked in to it for the BSM car while it was still in IP

Thanks for that, a bit tall I thinks, may have to put one of the 4.11 sets I have in it, which is good cause now I can just drop the spare R32 rear diff ( late model big shaft one ) straight in :)

For shits and giggles do it with 275/35/19s lol

    • 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
