tortron Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 Choo choo Pretty sure a 300,000km engine should handle a factory t25 no worries m9 Some guy in 2008 said that at least 30 wingroads had been converted to rear disks (in Japan) using the rear end of an avenir. Bluebird has rear disks, but I think passive rear steer as well, but I feel any 90s nissan bits will fit any 90s nissan. So rather than laying in the dirt at pickapart I will have a look at those (parts diagram says no, avenir is same set up as wingroad, will check the one at the wreckers is disk rear and if so see what i can get off it) 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Old engines are rumoured to handle boost better, something about the wear giving extra ring gap and bearing clearance for crank flex 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tortron Posted February 3, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2022 And then with "I'm paying for a cert, I may as well" scope creep, I got a pair of recaro with almost matching fabric to the nissan stuff 15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tortron Posted February 3, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2022 Took the whole rear end out of a w10 avenir I just trusted the 2 comments from 2008 and 2012 I could find on Trinidad nissan forums and didn't measure anything. Dunno if the beam, spring mounts etc are to the same dimensions, but I think I can take the hubs off and swap them, I just couldn't get the disk to come off at the wreckers to take just them. I may need to go back and get the brake bias valve? Maybe the hand brake cables. They have abs on them too, so that might also work with the wingroad abs Will see, looks like it will work 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tortron Posted February 19, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2022 Budget is chooched Also got some 370cc injectors, some bits of piping etc and a Sr20de gasket set. Hoping there's high demand for a parts u13 and a ga15 + box lol Think I just need some oil lines for the turbo and that's it 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fletch Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Did a +t on a u12 sr20 with u13 turbo parts a long time ago. Turbo, manifold, injectors, ecu, loom, intercooler. That's it. I diverted the coolant hoses off the throttle body to the turbo, tee'd the oil pressure sensor for the oil feed, and there is a boss in the block where the oil drain can be drilled. Get a friend to gold the duster gun on the rocker cover breather to pressurise the crankcase a bit and drill away. The air will keep the swarf out. Tap it out for a 1/2 brass fitting. Will take 10psi easy 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 Yup that's exactly my plan, the haltech even came with an electronic boost controller for reliability and fuel economy Oh I will probably do a turbo suitable exhaust too, bluebird doesn't appear to have a cat, because NZDM maybe, so Clint will cert that no worries 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tortron Posted May 23, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2022 And just like that, the only wof and reg car on my property is rendered useless Man how easy, went and got aircon degassed this morning, and everything came apart without even a rounded nut. Entire engine loom just unplug under the dash and passes through into the engine bay, nissan you've done it again Only hiccup is I don't have a big enough socket for the axle nuts, go sort that tomorrow. Hopefully the axles will work with the wingroad hubs, I don't think I saw different part numbers for the Sr20 ones hubs, will see, nissan lego should come through 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted May 24, 2022 Author Share Posted May 24, 2022 OK 1 problem Axles refused to budge even a little from the trans. Cut the boot on the lhs and separated it, left drivers side in. LhS needed attention anyways so no big loss. Pretty much all out now, gona drain the 1/3rd tank of gas obviously, and take the rest of the exhaust 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87creepin Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I've seen Nissans from same era rust on that upper front chassis rail and brace (from rail to lower a pillar if fitted). Mainly skylines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
