Switching over from Toyota's 1G-GTE to Nissan's RB26!

Hello All,

I'm living in Japan for the second time of my life, the first was about ten years ago.  I had slow and very heavy Toyota Supra (Mark III) with the 1G-GTE and was sliding all over the place when heading back down the local mountains, but it was a cheap car and it was fun... despite it's short comings.  Now I'm back 10 years later with a much better salary and dropped the money on a 1995 R33 GTR (63,000 KM) and couldn't be happier.  I'm currently examining the car from front to back and taking care of any reliability issues.  Wouldn't you know it a month after owning it one of the MAFs went out, so that's my current project.  Anyway, I've received a ton of useful information from this forum.... so I figured I would quit lurking and join up.

-Nate

Thanks for the reply Ravi, I have seen a couple of topics about re-soldering the Joints inside the MAF.  I have never soldered anything before and was contemplating buying a Cheap gun.  I know that AIP sells a replacement with Platinum tread connections.  I might buy those and hopefully never have to worry about it again... thoughts?

Soldering is quite easy, just need to make sure you don't overheat the electronic components. 

 

I'm not familiar with said platinum replacement but if it seems to work then I'd guess to go for it.

The 80's electronics in the AFM aren't that tiny, so you should be fine. Or, grab a small breadboard + components practice. It's quite easy once you get a few hours under your belt.

Haven't heard of this AIP replacement, so can't comment.

      PRP RB26 cast block + head prototype running

      Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power

      It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...

      RB25 S2 Idles but doesn't want to rev

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.

      Skid pans in/around Sydney?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
