I picked up an R200 with a 4.4 LSD on the weekend, I'll strip this down and rebuild it along with the rest of the rear end in the coming weeks.

oh!

Straight up thought the build was completed from what I read earlier and you were just re writing it :blink:

Thanks mate! 

Some goodies we purchased in Japan at Nostelgic 2 Day arrived today (no pun intended), a set of S.E.V Marchal headlights.

It's been a pretty crazy few weeks so not a lot happening on the car front, hoping to reassemble and pain the GTR grill this weekend though. I can't for the life of me find the paint sample we made up so I had to get a mate to send me down his colour chips for matching, no paint codes available for this stuff unfortunately.

I was going though some boxes from my trip to Japan in Feb this year and found these goodies. Some door handles, a GTR style gear know, NOS badges, water heater seal and stainless trim for the centre console.

Also a whole bunch of stickers for the car, it's the little details that make the difference! :)

So a pretty major development this week, Lachlan Fowler at Les Collins Racing had a fully built 3.3ltr L series short block for sale which I've purchased. He's decided to go down the full billet crank race spec path meaning the built bottom end is no longer needed. I'll supply my own P90 head to the builder to be ported, polished and rebuilt. The motor should be good for 350hp and 280ft'lbs of torque with the right head, cam and induction.

Short motor specs are:

  • L28 3.3ltr short engine.
  • 89mm bore x 89mm stoke = 3322cc
  • Engineered by Les Collins
  • F54 block. Acid dipped, 1/2 grout fill, sonic tested & offset bored to 89mm & finial diamond honed to exact clearance.
  • Deck milled parallel to crank tunnel centreline. 
  • Clearanced crankcase, de-burred & painted in Gyptal.
  • New gallery plugs. Blanked oil pressure relief port.
  • Standard sump & pickup (to be replaced with Kameari pickup)
  • Modified 89mm stroke crankshaft, oil gallery plugs tapped & plugged.
  • Custom CNC billet steel 8.8kg flywheel to suit crank (no clutch assy).
  • 137mm I-beam connecting rods with ARP2000 rod bolts.
  • Custom SPS 89mm forged pistons – designed to work with a P90 head.
  • New timing chain guides & new Kameari HD timing chain.
  • New OEM front timing cover (de-burred, polished & water-jet blasted) fitted with replated bolts.
  • New Water pump.

At this stage I'm looking towards injection as the 44 Mikuni carbs I have just wont be big enough and would limit the motor to around 280hp. The other option is 47mm OER carbs but Jenvey make a 47mm heritage DCOE twin body with the injectors hidden in the body. Heritage look with modern features. I'll need to look at a fuel tank conversion using EFI hardware's EFI conversion kit and consider an ECU, perhaps Motec M800 or a Haltec equivalent.

Not sure who will complete the head work and engine but at this stage I'm looking at either Peter McDonnell or Les Collins Racing, both are true professionals and will do a great job. 

Here are some shots of the motor before it will be torn down:

    • ...just a note of warning, you shouldn't drive it about with the TCU in limp mode with only 3rd gear available ~ apart from the fact you end up sheering the ATF at the torque converter interface, the high clutch in these isn't especially the strongest, particularly bolted to the RB25DE mill...which is likely a 4AX01 box with lighter duty high clutch (the RB25DET got the bigger high clutch)...be careful out there...
    • Hoping to do similar mods to my RB20 once I get it running and reliable again
    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
