SeanDezart said:Dave,
Where are you putting your one battery ? I've two, one behind each seat.......(very light) !
Russ said:Just make sure you put it in a box or something if it's inside the cabin, something it won't short against either. Hate for it to explode or dump acid everywhere in an accident...
Bantambunny said:Awesome stuff, only just seen this thread. Good luck with the rest of the build matey. Shall be looking forward to seeing this one
Simonh said:Looks like a cool project - what sort of HP goal/turbo configuration are you planning on?
I'm from a skyline background myself so find this sort of stuff hugely interesting who are you talking to about the engine build up as there are some nasty pitfalls to be avoided!
I'm in the process of rebuilding my R33 GTSt engine at the moment, just an RB25 but I'm expecting in the region of 500 or so BHP when I'm done.

datsun dave said:Hi Simon H
A chap called Mark Rayner (owner of a twin turbo 260z) is going to build the engine and one of the chaps that works with him worked at a well known Skyline Tuners so even before the project started we all had a chat over what to buy and what to avoid.
What have you done to yours RB25 engine ?
500bhp its going to be a beast !!!
Russ said:Sorry for thread hijack but have either of you bumped into much on building NA skyline engines? (the RB30 didn't make good power by itself, I've not found much info in Aus either).
Simon the aim this year to to build a strong bottom end that we can add to at a later date would love to do a big single turbo conversion as was talked about when we first started but will use the standard twin turbo set up to get the ball rolling am now trying to get it up and running for the Silverstone meeting but i have a list as long as my arm of things to do and buy.
