Back from painting! Few imperfections but it's certainly not a show car so nothing that can't be fixed or lived with!

Can't wait to get the engine back now and get it all back together!

Waiting on the piston coating at the moment then it can all go back together!

Nothing like a fair amount of optimism, all the best for your early Xmas present :)

They told me my Tannie and the head were out being done, so it looks like the head and drive line are under way.

But after months of having my Stroker Kit at the shop, the RB30 Block/Stroker has not been built and I would have thought that would have been the first thing completed, but I guess they do it the way they want and have a plan?

They just be waiting for a big enough gap in work to start on the engine not something you want to start stop start again. End up leaving shit at machine shops to long and going back over your work make sure everything is all done right!

What did you end up doing for the trans?

It does not really matter now but all of the parts were at the shop and it was booked in for 3 months before they said to bring it down as they were ready for it.

Drive line, coppermix Comp Spec Twin clutch & Slave cylinder, Quaife front diff, they are modifying the transfer case and have a Nismo 2-way LSD in the back.

Put Advan RS-D rims on and got some DAo8Rs tyres ready to put on. Going to use up what I have, still a heap of tread on them.

Looking at brakes and hopefully that is the end of this modifying stuff, I do not have the patients for it :)

  • 2 weeks later...

looking forward to see what it can do with the rest of your gear, should be mad :)

I think they are putting my motor back together now. have no real idea what is happening except he asked for the Installed height , lift pressure etc for the Valve springs , so something is going on. Like a secret F**ken society :)

Looks like a Borg Worner ? Ive been hearing great things about those turbos good choice. I'll be following this thread to see what kind of power you pump out. Im about to start my RB32 and im still trying to decide out of a GTX45, 47 and a BW.

Wow a 45 or 47 haha drag monster obviously!

I've just seen on the Gtr.co page a dude has put the same combo together but is using a Vcam set up with it!

Should be a good comparison for the Vcam dam they're expensive!!

Hi Ben, was that Calibrat's build. I have been watching that and busting to see it on the go :)

    • My plan is to go the pink option. But still add the 4th fitting near the oil cap and just cap it off for now.  That way I can add 2 extra to the sump and have 4 dedicated breathers/drains if I ever remove the sump for any reason. 
    • Oh, yeah, look - here's the thing. You always replace the tensioner when you're going in there to replace a belt....under normal circumstances. You want to make sure it is good and safe, and that you don't create a reason to take the front of the bloody motor apart again. But in this case, OP is replacing a belt that has aged out on time, not usage. The belt is a million miles away from aging out on usage. The belt gets a time "limit" merely because it is made of rubber and can degrade naturally. The tensioner? Not so much. I reckon it could last forever on the current usage pattern. So I reckon if the thing is going to continue to get used at the same rate, replacing the tensioner is somewhat gratuitous. Would I replace it if I was doing it on my car right now? Hell yes. Because my car does 10-20 thousand kays a year. So it's all going to be the same thrashedness. Would I YOLO it on OP's car. More than likely.
    • I dunno. I think any one of those from each side to sump is probably enough. Remember - this is about creating a path for gas flow up from the sump to the cam covers. That gas flow then has to leave via the lines to the catch can. There's probably little point in providing 100% more capacity from sump up to covers cf. what you have from there to the catch can. Put in the 3 convenient ones? Any which way that you see fit. That'd be my thoughts.
    • Getting holes drilled into to cam covers and AN10 fitting welded on. My sump has 2x AN10 fittings on it already. These are the options I have come up with that can be done without needing to remove the sump to add more fittings. In all options front of passenger side cover connects to VCT head drain bung (i know this isn't the best spot but my feeling is it must do something). Option 1 (pink). The back of each cam covers gets its own line to sump. Option 2 (blue). The back of each cam covers are linked and share a line to sump. The front of drivers side gets its own line. Option 3 (Black). Drivers side are Tee'd together and share a line to the sump. Passenger side rear gets its one line to the sump.
    • I'd be surprised if Nissan doesn't mention it in the manual as it seems unlikely that a tensioner is going to last 200,000km.
