Ladies and gentlman

after a long wait of 2 months 1week 6 days and a few houres my car has finally arrived in the sunny state of NSW. all the work was done by my cousins workshop DRIFT LINE RACING so the f%^$@r took his sweet time doin my car.By the way he's workshops in melbourne he does excellent work and if you got a nissan, which most of the people in this forum have pay him a visit, top quality work at very resonable prices. anyway back to my car the thing came out lookin like a sx machine. at the moment the thing has 227kw@rw with an rb20det and she flies cause it totals just under 1090kg. i know she flies cause i've owned two skylines and one had 247kw@rw and my current car shits all over it just goes to go power to weight is all that matters.

well let me know what you think. i included some before and after shots. the difference is rather dramatic i think

Cheers

anthony

Good effot something different

how much did you spend

+ mods

james

in total the car, looking the way it does now, cost me including rego,engineers and engine mods a little over $14000 and the car originally cost me $5500 including transport from QLD to Vic. so realistically the car to get it how it is now cost me bout $11500( not including engineers, rego and insurance).

My cousin does the conversion on the 180's the silvias and the s14 for the 180's it costs

2750 with change over pannels

3500 without change over pannels

The car is running a 5 stud pattern with r32 brakes all round

the car came damaged but hell for 5000 u cant go wrong

engine mods are :

The engine is your standard rb20det with a metal head gasket.

It's got a garret t3/t4 turbo

3inch zorst

air filter

microtec ltx12

apexi avcr

550cc injectors

fuel pump

stanless sleel manifold

FMIC

BOV

supra radiator with twin thermo fans

and all this is runnin of 16psi and now that it's had a good tune it's got 241.3rwkw so i'm rather happy with her.

Cheers

anthony

    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
    • Don't do what I did, use a 300000km old housing with billet gears. The old pump probably was clearanced with saw dust, Edward Lee's special engine treatment sauce and a good odo wind back. I had oil pressure issues, then replaces pump with new housing, new billet gears and 2x track day later binned a motor due to other oil related issues due to a previous engine builder. Long story short, buy a M2 or 3 or 4 N55/S55/S58 and enjoy life.
    • Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".
    • Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.
