Part is good actually later found it toyota hilux has a similar 90 degree unit, still trying to find a way to make a bracket as space is too tight and then lots of intercooler pipes pass from there as well. Welding is a big no no here, but as Rob suggested can do a bracket might need to remove the turbo them, lets see will try to work out something next week. If I need to change the engine the engine with which this gearbox works is Sr20, 1UZFE and RB as well with an adapter, keeping it as last resort.

Hey you have other details on these steering component, I am problem souring parts here locally a pm with details will be highly appreciated
-
Hey Rob, Steering is working fine little bit of jerk after each round but maybe because of the flex. For bracket I need to find a way to mount it as in the pic its a bit dirty as not finished but there is a bracket then washers and there is a plate from inside the wheel well where bolts mounts. I cant weld anything that a big problem here they dont let you register the car if there is any sort of visible weld
-
I installed after doing some changes but not so good news, the part it installs on the body isint that strong so its moving when you turn the steering and might come off when turned under load. I marked it in red. Need to find a way to make it work, really getting tired of this swap now hahaaa. Thinking seriously of just removing the engine and put back RB lost a lot of time. Anyone has any suggestions? Will a 350Z CD009 will mate with RB25?

Engine sounds good running fine and yeah quiet on idle. I tried drive it but steering rack is giving problem started slipping then later found out that it was rusted from inside. Now opened it up and will fix that and the AC thing all together. I will be using Nissan pathfinder steering coupler it sits way in front just behind the headlights will give enough room for AC compressor as well if works might be an excellent option for using AC with any VQ install. Two pics one is the coupler which I got from junkyard and second when it was in the pathfinder it comes from firewall parallel to the chassis rails then turn sharp down keeping room for AC compressor I hope it works out

Finally after doing all the work engine ran nicely on the basemap, Its all good till 3k rpm on this map, but im glad its running fine and holding boost as well. Next there are some issues coming in the starter switch sometimes it starts and sometime there is no response more like loose contact. Will fix that along with AC compressor then a final tune, should be on the road sometime next month.

Reassembling the RB25DE w/ ITBs to put in my 240z.
docaam replied to winstonusmc's topic in Nissan RB Forum
Nice one, want to see results was really tempted to do it when removed my RB25DET and now kinda regret of not doing it. Are you changing the piston as compression might go down using RB26 head isint? -
Subscribing and cant wait for more details. It perfection at its best
-
Been busy with the hakosuka built but now VQ30DET Engine is running fine now still on basemap though. But there is an issue coming in some starter wiring some times it starts and sometimes there is no spark at all, need to open up the steering column I guess. Also need to make some custom bracket for AC alternator
-
What happened? engine is in?
-
I just replaced the block but head went through machine work Got it started a small clip running ok basemap only but atleast running there was some water leak from the radiator as I moved the outlet a bit. More to come soon
-
Those are getting replaced today with R888 225/45/15, couldnt get anything wider
-
Did the headwork and switched the block and boom car started, everything running fine on basemap need a proper tune then everything will show if any issues anywhere
-
Lots have happened engine didnt start first then plugged up a standalone ecu even then had issues came to find out block was faulty changed it and now all set to go, engine ran on basemap need a tune planning for this weekend, engine details I kept in the thread in V6 section.
-
Looks great. Did you paint the strut bar?
-
Parts not easy to get man, coming it to ITBs it sounds way to sick lol, but will stick to Turbo for now. Cost of building is variable as need low compression pistons (800$-900$) along with rings and other bits plus waiting time on it and shipping from USA to Dubai works out total 1700$-2000$, so dropped it as comlpete engines are sold here for 300-400$ so will just swap the block for now and leave rebuilding it for now. I have sent the old head for some machine work, coming back today and will swap the block with the new engine, As said earlier I know compression might be a bit off as read VQ30DD/DE are 10:1 compared to 9:1 in VQ30DET but winter is here which is the time to use the car (Nov-May) so just rushing installing it now and will run it on low boost. As per now plans will go for a tune on thursday will keep everyone posted.

I dont think VQ45HR has VVEL as if I know correct was introduced in 3.7 L making the 35HR more ideal for upgrading cams or the whole head. Problem with swapping VQ37 is you need ECU along with VVEL controle module and to make it work would need more donar car parts
-
No such a good news rings and pistons needed to be changed block is not that good. I went to junkyard but found only one VQ30DET and condition was so so and guy was asking slightly higher price then found same rwd VQ30 but without turbo was clean crank rotating and dirt cheap I thought its VQ30DE but after looking at net seems more like VQ30DD comes 260hp Now there is some confusion either to replace block with this one compression might go up to 10 but people said I should be ok running upto 7-8psi boost. Other option is to install as is NA and maybe work out ITBs off vq35de kit later on. Its a confusing stage as I did all the piping and intercooler so that might go wasted or just try running it on turbo? Any suggestions?
-
Crank sensor wasnt that bad just some setting and ECU change was a must because of NATS, changed oil and plugs engine ran fine, but then after a minute of two again stop picking, checked the pump it was ok, so the guy suggested maybe some lines are clogged inside when I told him how much sludge was there inside. So now engine is out and they opened it up its filthy from inside, so I asked them to open head and block and clean it all out
-
Thanks man thats what I heard will try to source a revup VQ35DE pump
-
Ok guys its confirm pump gave away, dropping the engine today to change it then Anyone has any idea if VQ35De(Revup) oil pump will fit VQ30 as among 35s thats the best pump
-
Ok guys some update half good and half not that good Hooked up the adaptronic ECU, installed the basemap sent by Adaptronic people and tried to start the car there was some error coming with crank sensor then needed to change the plugs worked the way around it and boom it started. Engine was making weird noise and very rough idle because of the basemap, checked the oil was thick and dirty though was new changed it again same, seems like oil is not getting picked up, one mechanic said maybe something wrong with crank and other is saying seems like oil pump is not working, one or the other will know final answer today will check opening the crank case For wiring its almost done happy with the result removed all stock body wires, and installed the dashboard as well Rob took some pics for you not sure if you can make out what you wanted to see?
-
Thanks for the kind words man much appreciated
-
Thanks Rob But honestly it's been 4 months in the swap so will just go with the standalone lets see how it goes. It's pretty difficult here to arrange these consult and other things. At times I'm regretting because of the frustration that should have gone with the rb26/30 NA which was the original plan
