  1. Really? What kind of setup you running?

     

    RB26 engine rebuilt with new forged pistons & rods, lots of head work done with a set of Tomei cams, all bottom end has been balanced new GT 2860-5 turbos, Big inlet manifold with 100mm RIPS throttle body, Nismo 600cc injectors on a Greedy fuel rail, x2 red top lifter pumps into surge tank x2 Bosch 044 main pumps to fuel rail, Stainless manifolds and HKS down pipes both heat coated.

  2. So the story so far last year engine was running (not on road) poor idle and problems with new Nismo AFM and i was working away so the Z has been garaged for around 12 months.

     

    AFM problem and idle now sorted as the car is at a Skyline workshop/Rolling Road to be sorted and mapped.

     

    Pictures are from yesterday when it was driven for the first time around the units roads.

  3. Waiting for a few bits to land here in the UK so have changed the rear turbo air intake set up as i was using the original RB26 set up but had to cut it down to make it fit, i was not happy with the bend and it would have caused problems with the air intake..

     

    So have made up a new part.

  4. Pics are sort of deceiving. With the engine at its 10 degree slant the compressor sits 1 inch above the intake valve cover, should be ok.

     

     

    You should just about clear the hood great thing about having a vented hood is I can remove the vents and can see into the engine bay I had to move my rad down or it would have dented !!!!

     

     

    Do you want me to have a measure and take some pictures of under the bonnet when its closed ?

  5. Looks good, I have a R34 cluster in my kitchen (yea i know, you can tell im single), but never used it.

     

     

    Was going to buy a Apexi tachometer but the Skyline cluster cost me a £1.00 (around $1.50 USD) on eBay I never leave any bits in the kitchen as the wife would go mad at me!!!!

  6. Got my Oil drain fitting, thanks... Any updates?

     

     

    No its down to the Auto sparky to finish it all off (1/2 day max) just been chasing him to get it all sorted this week so we can get it started, also have bought a R33 GTR dash clock set and have removed the rev counter and fitted it inside my 240z clocks.

     

    Apexi airfilters have turned up and are now fitted with a bit of cutting and shutting the alloy brackets.

  7. Ok the Apexi air filters have turned up, after cutting up and rewelding the alloy bends i got them to fit inside the Z engine bay, had a oil catch tank made to my sizes and thats now fitted,the original centre consol now back inside the car after some mods to move it forward so i can get 1-2-5 gears.

     

    Bought a Skyline R33 GTR tacho and will make it fit into original Z tacho pod, the Auto sparky is 99.9% finished he just has to tidy a few bits he has made a new wiring loom/fuse board that runs the fuel pumps/electric power steering and the Kenlowe electric fan and sits behind the drivers seat and it will be covered by the original plastic covers

     

    Should be up and running this time next month as working away in Ireland then off on my hols.
