Am thinking about selling the twins so if anyone is interested send me a pm.

They are twin T3/T4s custom manifold and 48mm turbosmart gate. Will come with filters, oil and water lines and dump pipes.

They need to make way for something bigger :geek:

well aint really had a update in awhile, got a service done today, injectors and shit cleaned got front indacators Mazda 323 ftw and fitted front bar. Also a bit of a before and after look, some ppl like it some dont, not really fazzed looks better than it did :D

Before

After

Ordered my cam cover gaskets, top plenum gasket, manifold gasket, turbo gaskets, cam cover bolt seals (you dont want to know how much they are) dump & exhaust gaskets. Along with my new turbotech, paint for engine bay detailing, timing belt kit and oil pump.

Paid almost all of the money back i owe to everyone and the above the bank balance doesn't look so great :D

Big thanks to BMS for sourcing some of the gaskets for me and looking after me with his sharpest pencil :P

Just picked up the 400r kit so need to get the front bar and guards painted, and hopefully find a carbon bonnet somewhere and put it all bacl together, get the other part of the cross of the side intrusion bars welded in and paintthe inside and it's ready to rock and roll.

My RB20DET is out of the 31 and stripped to a short block now; was inspected this week so I'm waiting on a quote for machining and assembly. Had spun number four big end and number four piston has some damage to a ring land which looks like it probably contacted the head when the slop got great enough.... However the head looks fine, bores etc are pretty good, crank and rod look saveable.

Most likely just a stock rebuild with new genuine pistons and rings, decent bearings. Thinking of going with an N1 oil pump to insure against another oil pump related failure. Few little toys for the outside, bigger injectors, front mount cooler, Nistune board in the ECU etc.

Update for me is i had my car dynoed at boost last week. ive been to bissy helping my new team mate out to post on here much.

specs of the engine are

GTR FMIC

GTR injectors

R34 neo turbo 10psi actuator

custom ic piping.

split dump pipe into 3" straight through exhaust with no mufflers.

GTR power FC

all sitting on a rb25DE

the car pulled 194rwkw with a slipping clutch and was slightly detuned to prolong the life of the clutch which i ended up changing over the weekend so the car got a big birthday.

the car had been tuned before hand by a friend of mine and it felt nice and strong on the 5psi that we were feeding it then.

i am yet to drive the car as its a track only car but i will get to this weekend so im pretty keen to se if there is any difference.

after having it on the dyno ive got the power bug and i want more. its killing me now that without the slipping clutch it could have cracked the 200 mark with would have made me very happy for a budget biuld.

cool. what color will you do it in?

rx7 is progressing slowly, should be faster, but renovating a house and really need to get it sold by oct/nov so we can start building and the car has been put on the back burner. should be finished and racing by years end though.

Hey man,

I have a spare stock clutch if that helps? You can have it.

Sam

thanks mate but i got a new one to save me any more hassels.

i used the car on the weekend and it was brilliant. it was absolutely magical and proformed well all day. so id have to say i am happy with boosts work. the proof is in the car. but in saying that i havent tried any other people so i wont be jumping over the moon about it just yet.

probably do it same blue as the outside, but not put a clear over it so it's not all shiny. hope to have it back on the road by middle of august. just need a new cooler

I did the same with the silver on mine; doesnt glare that way and looks more purposeful than wanktastic!

    • This is the clearest explanation out of those: Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension. Basically you turn the engine with the tensioner bolt loose, then use the allen key to hold it while you torque it up. And yes after that a good guide is being able to twist it 90o in one of the long free lengths of the belt
    • good choice....I have a set of those and use them all the time including on this job. Plus, no-one wants a damaged nipple
    • Thanks all, went with nismo strengthened belt and all genuine nissan idler and tensioner Question on RB25DET Neo Timing Tensioner: I have a question about the RB25DET Neo timing tensioner. In one of the videos (minute 20 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17y37BB9xnA and minute 27 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb99s2E9xUg), the process suggests tightening the tensioner pulley installation bolt to the specified torque initially, and then loosening it slightly to allow the spring to set the correct tension. Is this the correct approach? The R33 workshop manual on page 74 states: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. The way this is written is confusing. Does this mean: Undo the nut, then reduce the tension by turning clockwise? Snug the nut so it stays in position without applying tension to the belt while removing the timing belt? The manual wording makes it sound like the nut will tighten automatically when you turn the tensioner clockwise , which is unclear to me.   Timing Belt Tension Adjustment Process: After loosening the tensioner nut, you turn the engine two full rotations by hand, which should set the correct tension. Once the tension is set, you tighten the bolt to 43 N·m (4.4 kg·m). Before tightening, you need to insert the Allen key into the hexagonal hole to hold the pulley in place while tightening the bolt. In one of the videos, it’s mentioned that you should twist the belt side to side, or turn it slightly to check if the tension is correct. The belt should turn halfway, indicating the right tension. However, I know that twisting or turning the belt is not a good idea. What are your thoughts on this? Finally, how can I ensure the belt isn’t overtightened? I’ve seen many cases where people have overtightened the timing belt.   Manual Excerpts: Page 74: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. Remove the timing belt from each pulley. Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension.
    • Takes a few minutes to malke one. Wood, or steel, or a wrap strap with some strategically placed solids to provide teh drive onto the ribs.
    • I would strongly suggest using the correct tool. They are not expensive and make the job much easier and don't damage the lock ring. Google "fuel tank lock ring removal tool" to see what I'm talking about.
