Hey team

Posted intro on newbie area but start off with my background anyway. It all started at 17 with my first skyline, albeit a mighty gte lol had always been a huge fan of four door 32s so started with a car the parents didnt think I could stack. 5 years of thrashing later finally got the funds to slap running gear in from a s2 r33 gts25t...... stolen and found stripped a week later, dirty little welfare bludging grommets. Here we are 5 years on from that point and finally got another 32. This time started with something a bit more respectable, obviously a 4dr32 again but this time packing full gtr running gear. Also got lucky in the fact someone had gone to the trouble of rebuilding turbs (n1) and dropping in some 555 injectors, wolf computer and other bits nd pieces. Car is chucking out 370 rwhp which was warp speed quick for a couple of months but is now mind numbingly boring a year on. Guess iv got the bug as im sure everyone else here does, so now I find myself on the build page.

Plans at the mo are pretty modest as cant really afford to crack open the old girl. So for now bolt on bits only

2860-9's

Tomei cam gears

Apexi avcr

New dumps, front pipe and 3.5 exhaust

(Want tomei but looking at xforce due to cost thoughts?)

ID1000's

Oil cooler and filter relo kit

Also doing some non performance upgrades with before and after pics to come. Looking for max response and about

315-330 awkw. thoughts, tips or anything needed/missed pics 2m

Nice build, looks great on the GTR wheels!

Is the engine early R32? If so has the crank collar been done?

Wouldn't want the pump to go after you get it all running!

As for the exhaust I my 2c is get an equal length front pipe like Mine's or similar.

Will make the exhaust note much nicer, regardless of what catback exhaust you have.

Another quick mod is the twin turbo divider plate, this should unlock a few kilowatts and reduce shuffle.

What year is the motor? I think the narrow drive was 89-91 and they fixed it in 92 and later.

Picture below - Look at the difference in size of the flat face which drives the oil pump gear.

You can see on the narrow one there is only a few square millimeters that actually drive the pump!

Doing an oil pump at the same time as belts, tensioner is a great idea, but I would highly NOT recommend an N1 oil pump. If anything it is weaker than stock!

If you have the narrow oil pump drive (as above) you will need to drop the motor to get the crank out and get the collar replaced by an engine builder.

If you do that you might as well get everything balanced at the same time, this will also help protect the oil pump gears.

As for which pump you should get. At the very least I would get a Nismo (not N1) oil pump. But to be safe I would recommend Nitto, new style Greddy pump, or arguably the best, Tomei.

It all really comes to how bulletproof do you want your motor to be. Do you want to replace the pump and belts now but pull the motor again in 6 months because the balance was off?

Or do you want to have a bit more expense now but have a motor that you know will last for a number of years?

So still havent finished but as with any project with a 26 in dont think i ever will be. Will be changing turbos next year and am looking forward to the extra power. Since last post car has been given new fuel system including 1000cc injectors and e85 safe pump along with flex fuel sensor. Has new adaptronic ecu with splitfire coil packs. 3.5 catback and 3.5 cat delete. Will do dump/front when i decide which turbo/turbos to use. Was wanting to go -5s but am seriously considering the gtx3582 with twin entry mid mount 6boost manifold any thoughts?

      That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. I would go cut bellhousing over that monstrosity of a flywheel all day, every day. It puts a lot more mass further from the last main bearing. I've had nothing but problems with Collins in the past and refuse to ever buy their products again. I would not trust anything they tell you. He's playing his salesman card.  I'm currently at 640whp on a mustang dyno (~770bhp) with the intentions of running E85 and a lot more power this upcoming spring. Cheers,

      Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.

      Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.

      Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?

      I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
