Could you use this to calculate the degrees between those two lines? http://www.acidrod.com/files/degreewheel_wInstructions.pdf

Your car looks great. Do you have any more pictures of the interior?

RB26powered74zcar, yes if you could give me that info I'll let him know. He could then keep the dimensions and offer a RB26 intake that fits the s30 chassis that bolts right in without modification.

I was looking at the ks racing manifold from Thailand. They sell it on ebay and the Supra guys have been using them for awhile along with one or two members here. I remember reading someone had to modify the flange because it would hit the passenger side fender. Does anyone have measurements on how much they had to cut the manifold to make it fit? I'm going to order one and the guy said he could modify it before he shipped it. For reference here's the manifold in question: http://www.ebay.com/itm/nissan-rb26-intake-manifold-skyline-r32-r33-r34-/281160700892?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item41767bd3dc&vxp=mtr

I found a set of rebuilt turbos with metal wheels and I've spent the last two days looking for crush washers for the oil and water lines. Anyone know where to get them without spending $200 on a complete gasket kit?

Drew, are those Tomei dump pipes 3"? From working on my Z32 I learned you can get a lot more power and responsiveness by going with a larger dump right after the turbo.

I've read several posts online saying that the Tomei manifolds tend to crack over time and to stick with the stock manifolds. If anything just port match the stock manifolds for better gains without the worry of cracking. Is any here running the Tomei manifolds? I'd like to here your feedback on them.

Thanks for all the great info guys. I didn't know the N1 turbos were gt2860-7. My turbos are shot (tons of shaft play) but I'm wondering since the stockers will get me there is it worth rebuilding them?

Do you have a dyno chart of your set up? How's the lag compared to the stockers?

I found this post with a lot of info on running different turbos. The info is about 12 years old so it's old technology we're talking about. The post is about 2/3 down the page with a listing of about 20 different entries: http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/717-dyno-runs.html Here's the chart too:

I've searched and searched to find dyno charts but other than SAU with their all-wheel drive skylines and their funky conversions from kw to hp not much is out there. BTW why do some of their dyno charts have kph instead of rpms on their dyno charts? I'm trying to decide on a twin turbo set up for my RB26. My goal is 450hp with an emphasis on minimal lag. I was thinking of going with stock turbos with metal wheels instead of ceramic. Will these turbos get me there?

Hey guys I've found a r32 motor and I need to find out if it was built after the oil pump fix in 1992. The seller says it was from a 1992 so I'm trying to find out if it was built after (Feb?) they came up with a fix. Thanks.

Be careful with that Braille battery. I bought one for my Z32 and I let it drain down. After that it wouldn't hold a charge over a few days. I ended up just using a Miata battery from Autozone. It weighs 26lbs instead of 40+ lbs of the stock one.

I wonder if a bigger brake set up and a more aggressive tire compound would have made a difference on the 240z?

Thanks for the files Stony. I don't know how to post an excel spreadsheet on here but if anyone else needs a copy send me an email and I'll send it to you.

I'm looking for the files to run a RB26 on the SDS engine mgt system. If you have the files please email them to arifsealey@hotmail.com. Just out of curiosity what is done with the stock CAS? I'm assuming you still run the magnets on the crank pulley correct?

Thanks guys. I know each motor has it's own strengths and weakness. It looks the service items are the same as my VG30TT.

Is there a recommended service that should be done on RB26 motors prior to installing them? I searched but didn't come up with anything. I bought a JDM Z32 TT motor last year and did the 120k mile service which included replacing the water pump, thermostat, timing belt, tensioner, etc. I'm trying to figure out ALL the costs involved with buying a RB26. Thanks

One thing I didn't like when I installed the Silvermine rear brake set up is that my rear discs are larger than the fronts. I've got the Toyota 4x4 calipers with the 300zx rotors and they're clearly smaller than the Silvermine kit. I guess I could swap out the 4x4 stuff for the z32 brakes.

Alright! It's been awhile coming and I'm sure your excited!

Here is mine which according to Brembos directions should be correct. I'm assuming the information applies to all cross drilled, vented, and slotted rotors.

It was painted about 10 years ago and I don't remember the name of the color but the brand was sikkens. I think it was a Honda color IIRC.

After I installed my rotors I realized there might be a right and left side based on the slots. I found this on the Brembo site here: http://www.buybrakes.com/brembo/faq.html#q28 Which direction should the discs rotate? It is a popular misconception that the slots or drillings in a disc determine the direction of rotation. In truth, for an internally vented disc, the geometry of the vanes dictates the direction of rotation. There are three vane types in use: Straight Pillar vane (comprised of many small posts) Curved vane The first two vane types are non-directional, and can be used on either side of the vehicle. The curved vane disc, however, is directional. A curved vane disc must be installed with the vanes running back from the inside to outside diameters in the direction of rotation. Please see figure. Orienting the disc in the manner creates a centrifugal pump. The rotation of the disc causes air to be pumped from the center of the disc, through the vanes, and out through the outside diameter of the disc. This greatly enhances the disc's ability to dissipate heat. Additionally, all of Brembo's slotted discs are directional as well, regardless of the vane geometry. The discs should be installed such that the end of the slot nearest the outer edge of the disc contacts the pad first. Please see figure.
