I just bought an S13 with an RB20 in it. The rb was dead when I bought it and we just took the motor out today. Now I was wondering what should I do to the motor before I put it back in??

It has a T3/4 turbo, wolf 3d computer, and fuel reg/pump.

I was thinking just some forgies and a HKS head gasket, then some injectors when I get it going.

anything else I should look at?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

272degree camms, even if only for the sound. got them in mine and makes a big difference. also if you are going the forged postions, get the tomi 2.3L kit this uses tomi pistons and rings along woth GTR crank and rods. Once again this make a massive difference.

yeah but costs a shitload of money. If you get the metal gasket then you'll probably have to get the block o ringed to suit and if you aren't pushing out massive amount of horsepower ie. 300 rwkw then you need not worry about going to all the trouble of the metal head gasket. They don't seal too well and you will constantly blow it if you don't install it properly or you run too much boost. All I can say is...If you are going to do it ALL, you will have to spend a lot of money. Otherwise just throw some forgies in it, get some 272 cams, adjustable gears, bigger injectors and you should push about 350hp at the treads, maybe more.

      Turn signal wiring question

      Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
