Where did you get your machine work done? They didn't use a torque plate for bore honing?

My mate at JDM Garage is doing the engine rebuild.

In regards to the torque plate, its a bit over my head but after some discussions involving the actual benefits of a torque plate we decided not to go with it. The theories were quite interesting..

Seeing the Nitto gear on display at the JEM tech night was good, having them explained etc was awesome! Such quality :woot:

Yeah I saw pics from your NSW JEM meet. Was very jelly

Really good motivation for ya ;)

Looking good tony! When she due back on the road?

Yeah this i would like to know! Should be good :yes:

ooking good tony! When she due back on the road?

I estimate that the engine will be finished with everything back in the car in about a month.

Then another month sorting out the VIV (As the car was written off) and Road Worthy Certificate.

We might have some issues with the engine gaskets. As we were supplied with a ACL Rb25det gasket kit not a neo one. Even though we were assured it would fit.

I already know the plenum gasket is different, among a few other things as well.

Anyone know where to get them quicksmart? Apart from getting them via Nissan or Japan?

I can get a full genuine Neo engine gasket kit from Amayama for ~$350. But its a 3 week wait and I would get a whole bunch of other gaskets I don't need.

Edit: Just emailed Andrew from Kudos to help me out

I was going to say Nitto mentioned they had them in stock at that Tech night but i assume you would pay accordingly....

A complete Neo engine gasket kit? That's interesting, didn't know they made them :(

I got the Nitto Headgasket though

In any case getting a genuine Nissan gasket kit off Andrew @ Kudos motorsports. So props too him!

Also these just arrived today

Prett keen to hear the theories if you'd like.

I will ask and will post when he gets back to me :thumbsup:

In the mean time, just out of interest

Weight of:

Nitto rod & Cp piston = 944.4grams

Stock Neo rod & Piston = 1134 grams

So a saving of about 1.14kg in the engine by using these parts

Thanks for doing that :thumbsup: Interesting!

Had a quick chat to the engine builder and most of it went over my head. But he said his happy to chat to you about it at any future SAU meet, whenever you guys see each other :thumbsup:

any updates?

Coincidentally yes I do!

Block and head is all finished. Just waiting for the crank to finish balancing then its just assembly and to put the engine in!

Hopefully only a few weeks away and the engine will be running in the car!

Also have received my brae manifold, turbo housing and dump pipe all HPC coated. Only a one week turnaround:

All nicely packed in delivery by HPC:

For those that are interested we also decided to lay the "torque plate" theory to the test as we had some spare time. We torqued the head down to 80ftb using arp head stud, flipped the block over and measured the bores. No distortion was present and the bore gauge still read 0.

    • Might piggy back off this thread since there's been a good discussion about PWM.   I purchased a Walbro 460 F90000267 and have been looking into PWM to understand it. It was purchased more of a future proof as my original OEM fuel pump died (r33 below 200kw) and figured I'd just upgrade it to this. That's when it hit me that a pump this big can cause more dramas with such high amperage draw and heating of the fuel pump being on 100% all the time in such a mild setup.   I have a Nexus R3 and slowly collecting power mods but I was looking into the PWM feature on the NSP software:   Then looking at the graph from the fuel pump:     Am I safe to assume reducing duty cycle to 50% for example would make the pump run like a 230/lph ? Where does the PWM come in all of this ?   I've gone down the rabbit hole of PWM fuel pumps and it seems there are many differing opinions on how to go about it 😅  
    • Thank you, this will keep me busy for a bit.  I will update progression.
    • That specific one would be an exchange part, meaning I'd have to send mine to them. Plus it looks like a non AWD sump, which won't work for me. There is one or two shops in my country that I can ask to do a sump extension job and it'd most likely end up being cheaper than sending mine to AUS or NZ and getting one back, and quicker too.
    • Rear turbo is leaky, most likely at the oil drain. From what I could see with my boroscope it seemed to have seeped out at the very top of that return hose. Is it possible that the oil climbs up that hose to then leak out? Yup, coolant leak on the hot side of the engine, only noticed after seeing clear rusty residue in the block right from the turbo oil feed downwards to the pan, and red droplets hanging from the pan. No clear sign yet from where it comes, and most of the lines there are hardlines right? Last year, seeing those red drops, I thought it was power steering, will be glad if that is not leaky at least. Another leaking hose I found by chance is the lower of the two heater core hoses coming from the firewall to the back of the head. That one is not too bad to get to if I have to replace.
    • I think for response I'm already kind of out there no? he -5s are not the best pick for that as the Internet tells me. Maybe I should switch to -7s while I still can? Though that almost definitely warrants an engine pull along with the other issues I have.
