I have a load of various sized OE genuine Nissan shims for the Tappet buckets from shimming my RB26 engine if you need to adjust the valve clearances. Left over from my old R34 GTR with HKS GT-SS's fitted that I rebuilt. They are hard to get hold of. I have been told that Peugot ones fit? Let me know if you need any.
Thanks for the offer although hopefully I won't need them, the engine was refreshed very recently.
How did you find the RB with the GT-SS?
Well, I haven't forgotten about this. Should be running good again soon, carbs have been cleaned and balanced but its still spitting out fuel, I've ordered two new float lid assemblies which should arrive vey soon, once I fit them then hopefully its all good again and I can finally take her for proper caster, camber and toe setup.
But in the meantime I've been working on tidying up the RB:
My twin turbo pipe arrived, it been modified with a baffle which will smooth the airflow where the flow from the two turbos meet. Mean more power an less shuffle. I will grind the welds smooth and then its off to get polished along with a few other parts.
Trust Downpipe:
Took off my exhaust manifolds, I will be using these stock ones as tubular ones often crack and don't offer any better results than ported stock ones. You can see they need ported where the soot has built up around the edges, I will port them so they are slightly bigger than the outlets from the head, this avoids turbulence.
Took off, the fan and power steering pump both of which won't be going back on. I also took off a lot of the other parts to clean them up.
My clear cambelt cover wasn't so clear, so I polished it up, I think it came up pretty good, meaning I'll probably use this over the painted one:
Spent a long time cleaning up these parts:
Painted one side of my block tonight:
Still got to clean and paint the other side of the block, clean up my turbos, take off the intake manifold to be sent for soda blasting and take off the rocker covers to get the -10 fittings welded on, then they are off to get painted.
