I enjoy my Mishimotor Radiator with the stock Clutch fan and GKtech fan blade... but what ever you decide to do though, do NOT buy the mishimoto electric fan. its garbage and is better off meant to cool a computer or somthing.

My advice also.  Mishimoto electric fan seems designed for Antartica

Update;

Purchased a Garret GTX3582R 0.82 T4 last week from Supercheap (they had 30% off sale for $2350). I made up my mind and ill be buying Koyorad Radiator using the stock fan and shroud. 

As I do more research, I come up with a lot more questions lol. 

Q1: Currently, I am looking at getting the sump extension but if I can't, is it worth me buying TOMEI POWERD Oil Pan Baffle Plate? Was wondering if that would help me by any chance. 

Q2: Is it worth selling the Power FC and buying Haltech Plug in ECU to run flexfuel? As mentioned previously, my power goals are at least 550-600hp atw (p.s this will be a weekend cruiser not a track car)

Q3: Anything else I should consider for a "reliable" 550hp? 

Thanks guys

Power FC is not a limitation on power depends on how keen you are to have flex fuel. Plus its not an engine out job if you change your mind later.

Reliability is mainly down to a good build followed by a good tune.

1. In the absence of a larger capacity sump the Tomei baffle is worth having.  I ran one on the track for years whilst over filling the sump.

2. Well your set up will either be more suited to E85 or petrol. So if you need to run both then yes you need something other than a power FC.  Its much easier to find hp with E85. There are now much better ecus than APexi's 1990 version.

3. Just spend alot of time on ring selection, block preparation/blowby and work out how you are going to run the thing in from the moment it starts up.  Oh and no one has said dont waste your money on that intercooler.  Also valve springs have you got some?  Head gasket?

Thank you for your comment! Its always better to have flefuel option I guess. Good point I guess I can swap the ecu later on, but ill make sure the fuel system is e85 compatible.

Don’t waste your money on a tomei baffle, nite the bullet and get an extended sump with trap doors and etc

Hard decision! still thinking about it. I won't be taking my car to tracks but as I said it is only for reliability purposes.

Engine work was done before I purchased the car but the engine never went in the car as the previous owner did not have the funds to complete the build. Headgasket, valve springs etc are all upgraded.  I have both stock and aftermarket (105mm thick) intercoolers. Which one would you recommend?

I don’t take mine to the track either and while accelerating in a straight line with the stock sump with a tomei baffle it kept tripping the engine protection due to oil surge

sorry for double post but ive ordered all my higher end parts from kudos their a great parts source for stuff like this(engine components, suspension, etc.) cheers mate definitely a good upgrade for your rb hoping you have extended crank collar as well?

Purchased Reimax N1 Oil Pump gears (RhdJapan) and Nitto Crank Collar (Goleby Parts) today. 

Also will buy full gasket kits for the intake manifold, rocker covers etc. from (Kudos).

Kudos also quoted me $1290 for a CRG T4 High Mount Manifold with 50mm External Gate Port. Still unsure whether I should get 6Boost or CRG. any thoughts?

Another Question.. 

In order to fit Nitto Crank Collar, do I have to get the N1 oil pump drive machined to fit? 

Not as far as I know.

Re ex manifold, I'm going with 6boost, who seem to be pretty deceent.

No you have to get the crank machined to take the collar...pump will fit. And buy the cheapest crank collar you can find...its a piece of steel put through a CNC lathe - not rocket science.

you definitely need to machine it yup..6 boost top mounts are the only manifolds you see in my area and are total bulletproof manifolds that never crack and have a ton of different flange options. 1200 Canadian dollars cant beat it mate.

I literally just went through this with my gtr.  The billet gears are super easy to install. I just used my stock oil pump because of sump issues etc.  I was getting all ready to have an extended nose collar machined on,  to find out that I already had extended nose. 93 and later gtrs all have the extended collar already. I would definitely recommend changing the gears out on the pump as its not the power that destroys them its the rpm. and yeah extended collar forsure if you want reliability. 

Mine is a 1993 R32 GTR so I'm guessing I don't have to do anything then? (even though I've purchased nitto crank collar lol)

That's correct unless someone has put an earlier crank in it...

    • The two diagrams are equivalent. The R32 one is just one sheet out of about 3 showing everything in the whole car all at once. And without knowing the functionality that occurs in the modules, they are both equally opaque.
    • 8v - 2.48ms 9v - 2.15ms 10v - 1.74ms 11v - 1.41ms 12v - 1.15ms 13v - 0.99ms 14v - 0.89ms 15v - 0.82ms 16v - 0.81ms I'm running these values on my RB20 Neo with 570cc Denso R35 stock jets and it's great. Also bought a set for my Legnum VR4, love these injectors!
    • Thanks for your reply,  Those blue/green wires running to the actuator aren't attached to anything, so I'm not sure how the central locking is still working. I will have to take a good look tomorrow, I don't have the car with me. After googling it seems like a pretty common aftermarket actuator which even uses the same green/blue wires the immobiliser required. i'll test everything tomorrow and if it's working i'll melt the solder, strip it, resolder and neaten it all up with some heat shrink. I don't have to understand it if it works hahaha I just don't want a fire/ short circuit. That R32 diagram looks more like a continuity chart? Can you make sense of this form the R34 manual? 10V is probably due to very flat battery, i'll recheck as well tomorrow, I did have to jump start it haha. Thanks again!  
    • So, COM doesn't mean comms. It means common. What common itself means will depend on the type of device. For a two directional actuator (ie, one that can push and pull on the same output rod) then the common will typically just be the earth connection. There will be at least 2 other wires. If you put 12V on one of the other wires, then the actuator will push. On the other 12V wire, it will pull. Can't quite make out what is going on with the wiring of your actuator. It appears to have several wires at the actuator plug, but there only appears to be 2 wires where its loom approaches the door control module, with at least one of the others cut off. I don't know these actuators off by heart. I'd have to look at a wiring diagram for one before knowing what the wires were about, and that's despite me having to replace one in my car not all that long ago. Just not interesting enough to have dedicated memory set aside for trivia like that any more. That actuator is an aftermarket one, not the original one, which probably died and was replaced. That might require some sort of bodge job on wiring to make it work. Although nothing should justify the bodginess of the bodge job done. As to the soldering job on the door module's loom plug. Ahhahhahaha. Yes, very nasty. Again, I cant tell you what any of those wires do. You'd need to study the R34 wiring diagram (if you can find one that shows the door module). I don't think I have any. I'd have to study the R32 diagram to start to understand what mine is doing, and again, even though I've had a problem with mine for the last 25 years (where it locks the passenger door when the driver's window reaches top or bottom of travel) I'm just not interested enough to try to to work it out. So long as it's not burning down, it's fine with me. Here's the R32 GTR diagram, which, confusingly, has rear door lock actuators and window motors on it!! As you can see, unless you understand the functions of the door lock timer and the power window amplifier, you'll never be able to work out how it works just from the diagram. I don't imagine that the R34 one is any better. Hopefully an R34 aware bod can help. FWIW, the two wires that are cut and joined look like they are both power supply - so hopefully it is not fatal to join them. The 10V you measured on the cut off free end of one of them is concerning. You'd expect 12V, and it might be the reason for the bodge job joining them together.
