Well its been a while since I posted as have been busy with life in general. As some might remember I posted last year in regards to my Cefiro import which was making around 306rwhp from its RB20DET engine. Well that engine had chosen to expire after 2 injectors failed. Week later replacement engine was in but only cranked over 297rwhp, so i decided to break it in an attempt to get 300+ again(at $500 an engine not such an issue). Well it broke.

Had a sit down and thought, what do I want from this car, lots of power and more response?(RB20's are horribly laggy). So I went for the plunge and installed an RB26DETT from an R33 GT-R. This required some custom work in regards to the sump(now running an 8L sump as oposed to standard 4L).

While more costly in the long run I have alot more power potential. On friday it went onto the rollers to finally get tuned(was off the road since January) and it layed down a rather nice 417.3rwhp @ 1bar boost(14.2psi) with over 1600ft-lbs of torque at 1 stage(will scan dyno sheet sooner or later). The setup isnt to laggy either with peak boost forming at around 4,500rpm and a nice broad spread of power from 5000rpm to around 7750rpm.

This tune is a safe setup due to the stock internals and with more timing I believe even at 1 bar there is still more potential in it.

List of mods to engine are:

RB26DETT from R33 GT-R

Nismo cams(256 or 264 we are unsure but give a very nice idle)

HKS adjustable cam gears

Nismo fuel pressure regulator

Larger Hybrid Intercooler

Custom turbos(equivilant to hi flo 2540's, these have run over 2bar before and still made power on previous owners car)

HKS Dump pipes

twin 3" exhaust

Wolf3d V4 ecu tuned for MAP table

600cc nismo injectors

Custom Fuel Sump

There are other mods such as Twin plate OS clutch and VLT Box aswell as custom tailshaft.

Overall i'm very happy with the results and once my Forged rods(Pauter) and some forged pistons(ares more likely still undecided) go in i plan to fit another fuel pump(depending if I went 044 or 040 1st time round cant remember) and wind up the boost :)

HUGE thanks has to go to Fabs of Extreme Autosport for putting up with not only doing the work on my car but my constant questions, phone calls and changing of mind. Also to Anthony(ND4SPD) and Steve(SST_Steve) with the tuning and other information I have required when Fabs was busy.

Some pictures can be found at http://summoner.perthstreetcars.net/Cefiro/ most of them are older pics of the car but there are some work in progress happy snaps.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Looking for autoelectrician in Perth who can do the OEM to double din stereo upgrade.

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
