That should be all water The front part... Towards the rear of the motor...that water pipe goes under the TB to the water on the backside that should go to the turbo. Please correct me if I am wrong anyone. These were just some pictures from my teardown. I hope they help.

It's not that water passage is it?

Well, for the most part, if nobody knows about McKinney as expensive as they are, they do make quality stuff and I'm sure they would have done some research on this. Just because it's tough, doesn't mean it can't be done, come on now, all of us or some of us I should say can do the swap, so why can't they? If they can't make a sucessfull kit, then they'll have to return a lot of money, easy as that [i Hope].

What about the blue GReddy ones? =P

I am considering a set of adjustable cam gears for my RB25. Few questions... 1) Is it worth getting? 2) Do the gears for the RB26DETT work for the ECR33 RB25DET? http://www.trust-power.com/02greddy/camsproket.html I can't understand the Trust website. 3) Fidanza, HKS, and GReddy all make them. Anyone like a particular one and why? Part Numbers for anyones reference.... 13523301 GReddy Intake Cam Gear 13523302 GReddy Exhaust Cam Gear 22004-AN001 HKS Intake Cam Gear 22004-AN002 HKS Exhaust Cam Gear

No price has been released yet.

Don't need a kit, then forget it. I'll stop worrying.

UPDATE: McKinney said it's about another 60 days or less until they release the kit. They will have complete kits with wiring, intercooler etc. Of course you can just solely buy the mount kits and custom plumb your own intercooler and do your own wiring. Couple of concerns. I don't know which tranny mount they have designed, either the bolt ups, or the slide through pins. Also, driveshaft, I don't know which rear end they have made the kit for. I assume the R180 and the R200 have the same bolt pattern for the driveline [correct me if I'm wrong]. Also under the asumption of the RB25DET transmission. Also mentioned a group deal, if we can get a lot of orders it might be worth our while. Two months for me waiting is a long time, but I'm in no hurry if the kit is what it's supposed to be.

Yeah, that's one issue with the RB20, it's usually an older motor. Even the RB26's that most people own come from R32's. One of the reason why I went with the RB25DET was because I knew for a fact that it came in 1995-1998. Which meant a lot less motor time than let's say the R32 GT-R or the GTS-T [RB20DET]

A lot of times the little pivot ball where the clutch fork pivots on can snap or break. My friend's SR20 did just that. He could put his clutch in all the way and the slave would extend, but no leverage on the clutch fork due to the ball which broke.

Also try NASIOC forums... Is that the right name?

I think there are two differnt R200 Nismo LSD's For the 12mm R200 it should be "38420-RS660" For the 10mm R200 it should be "38100-RS650" Now, IF! I do the CV conversion, it should be fairly straight forward. Buy some CV adapters from Modern or whomever, and the correct CV's? Clip the CV into the R200 from the S12 and bolt the other end of the CV to the companion flanges?

You should check the bolt pattern of the 240mm pressure plate with your Fidanza flywheel. Fidanza might have the 225 and 240 bolt patterns on the flywheel. Other flywheels sometimes only have one or the other. Like the "Turbo only" flywheels will only have the bolt pattern for the 240mm [and 2+2's]. Some of the flywheels for the non turbos will have a bolt pattern for the 225 only. Does this help?

I got my RB25DET Starter and dipstick from them for like 60 bucks shipped or something rediculous like that.

Okay, I have a new dillema. I went to pick-a-part and bought a R200 3.9 from a 1984 200SX CA18ET. I did also pull a R200 mustache bar from a 1977 280Z Questions 1) The original diff came with CV's, what would I have to do to in order to utilize my stock 240Z half shafts. [basically which side flanges do I need to bolt to the R200]. Would I have to use the R200 flanges off of a 280Z or could I use mine that came with the R180? 2) Is the rear cover for the 200SX R200 the same as the rear cover for the 280Z? [Could I use the rear cover or do I have to switch it to something else?] 3) Oh, what Nismo LSD part number would I have to use? I think that's it. Thanks. Quoc

First off, I'm sorry if my statement offended anyone. It really wasn't meant to be that. BUT!, I'm a Z lover of all sorts. Even to the point that I donate to this site because I believe in what it stands for, not because it says "Donating Member" under my name. I could care less about that. My statement just reflects that in my vehicle I don't care for a V8. Not even a VH45 or VK56 [Correct me if I'm wrong on those engine codes]. When I said Nissan Powered I meant to say that about the RB. Clear anything up? Okay good. I know no one was bashing anyone, but I just wanted to clear that up, and thank you Nigel for watching out for me.

That's my exact reason why I won't go V8. Nissan powered. I wonder which driveshaft would have to be utilized.

A lot of computers have problems with opening PDFs. So you're not the only one.

Uh, no need to email it, just look in the links I posted, it's all there!

Jamie, you should know better. Search or look in the stickies for links. Just kidding, here ya go... http://www.japtastic.co.uk/ http://www.japtastic.co.uk/R32%20Manuals/gtr_32_service_manual.pdf [Right Cligk Save As... for R32] http://www.japtastic.co.uk/R33%20Manuals/ [bunch of different info for R33, service manual is 148MB so don't open it directly] Does this help? Don't forget that everything is in metric or Newton Meters. Us yanks never got it so nothing is in ft/lbs.

For my application, I think I want to use a GT3076R. It's still got ball bearings unlike the GT32 series which doesn't. I won't be needing as much power with the GT35 or the GT35Rs so look into that if you don't want huge huge power, but enough power. http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/catelog/Turbochargers/GT30/GT3076R_700382_12.htm

Thats what I was hoping for... I have the earlier one, and every 240Z I've seen with the swap had the later style. I'll definately be watching for this kit.... When it comes close to them being finished, I'll go talk to them to see if they can give us some kinda group rate if I have the time to treck out there one day. I'll look over the kit, but if they don't finish in time I might have to custom mount mine. I'll also double check the fitment and which style tranny mount it uses. NOTE! Also I am under the assumption that either the RB25 or the RB26 used in this kit will be mated to a R33 GTS-T Box.

I'm sure the mounts from them are good, they make good stuff. But since the Z31's did have a factory version with a RB as we all know it, you could mount the motor fairly easy with Nissan OEM stuff especially in the Z31 Application. Now if McKinney made mounts for an S30, they would have to deal with the different types of tranny mounts that the 240Z's were known to have. Either the early bolt up styles or the later slide through bolts. I don't know how they have battled that problem. Actually gotta call them right now on that. EDIT: I just called them asking about the two different mounts for the S30. It appears that they have built the mounts for the earlier mount style with the two bolts going up into the chassis. I don't know how he has tackled the problem of the newer style slide through bolts. The kit isn't released yet because they are actually getting a US Patent on their kid and are waiting approval or at least a Patent Pending Status. He wouldn't release a date or an MSRP so we'll just have to wait and see.

Hopefully with the lighter flywheel, lighter clutch, and lighter crank pulley, i'll be able to rev as fast as the 20 if not faster =P

With the specs of the RB20, why not go with the 25? I know its free but might as well do it right. RB25 Specs Displacement 2,498 Combustion chamber type Pent-roof Valve arragement 4 valves per cylinder/DOHC Bore x stroke 86 x 71.7 Compression ratio 9:1 Compression pressure 173 psi Maximum output 247 HP @ 6400 RPM Maximum torque 215 FT/LB @ 4800 RPM Dimensions 845 x 630 x 680 Valve cycles Intake valve open Early operation 20º | Inactive operation 0º Intake valve closing Early operation 40º | Inactive operation 60º Exhaust valve open 57º Exhausr valve close 3º Idle speed 650 RPM Ignition timing 15 deg@ 650 RPM
