Good man.

 

Speedfreak, thanks for joining the forum just to post your concerns with my build, it truly says something

The oil catch can has a breather pipe that is not visible in the pic, I'll try and get a picture later on to show you. My mechanic said the oil leak up front had to do with crank collar clearances but has been dealt with now! That's a monstrous R32 you got yourself there man! Loving the RWD conversion

 

Thanks Sam.

Glad to hear your problems were fixed, both you and your mechanic are making history.
I don't believe there is a G37/RB30/26 combo anywhere.

Anxiously looking forward to your progress.

 

check out what an RB30 block (with Nitto's RB32 stroker kit) is doing in Australia

 

Staples I tried your app on the highway today, the difference was always 3 mph more on my speedo (whether at 20 mph or 120 mph) which I believe is normal. Had it been a percentage difference the I would've been in trouble. Hitting the speed limit (87mph) in 2nd is no fun I have to admit lol

 

Damn 87MPH in second. At least it's not way off. Time for shorter gears, 3.9s?

 

Was aiming for 4.36 but they're on back order so I figured I'd try the 4.08's and see how they do. 4.08's will offer a 10% decrease in speed/increase in torque. Hope that will be enough. I have a weird feeling though that my 5AT did not come with a 3.692 but rather a 3.357 diff ratio.

 

Hi Sam,

Try this by yourself:

1. Take a piece of tape or a marker and mark your rear tire right at the bottom center.
2. Climb under and mark/tape your driveshaft. Anywhere, but remember it's position.
3. Drive the car forward EXACTLY one tire revolution.
4. climb under and see where the DS rotation point is. It's going to be somewhere beyond your starting position (3.0:1) going to four turns (4.0:1).

It will be a rough guess, but certainly one third farther rotation (3.35:1) will be easy to spot than 2/3rds (3.69:1). I'm as curious as you.

Hmmm.. my 285/30/20 will cause the G to travel around 6.9 feet for every tire revolution. Let me see if the hole at the mechanic's garage is that long and I'll try it out. I may be picking up an MT diff from the salvage yard and thinking of swapping it in to see if it makes a difference.

 

Been a while since I updated this thread, cars running beautifully *knock on wood*, still a few things that need to be resolved.

1) Gears are too tall.
Ordered a 4.083:1 Ring & Pinion from a Frontier (thanks to Black Betty for hooking me up) and some Whiteline Bushings (since mine are busted). Hope it will be enough. The frontier also has a 4.363:1 option if need be.

2) Shifter is hitting against center console on 2nd & 4th gear shifts.
Trimmed the OEM wood trim completely but it's still rubbing. I finally found a Nismo Short Throw Shifter that will work with my Pull Type Transmission. That should hopefully solve my problem.

3) My digital gauge needs a nice mounting location. CarbonSignal is currently fabricating something for me to go on the A-Pillar, pretty stoked about it.

4) I'm working on getting my OEM Tacho to work, dug up some Nissan files and will be getting my hands dirty with my next oil change.

5) The engine feels like its running out of breath at high rev's. Tomei Cams and a turbo upgrade are sure next on my list! Summer's right around the corner though so back to low boost settings.

 

I think you made the right choice on the 4.08 gears. Anything higher, you're giving up top end and not giving the turbo enough time to spool.

Glad it's really coming along nicely.

 

Carbon Signal treats my G! Still under construction.

 

^^^ i want those mirrors!!

 

Special thanks to Black Betty for putting this together and shipping it to me.. I owe you big time J



Should be a fun weekend!

 

This thread is so full of money. That shop must love you. Can't imagine how much this type of project costs. Hope it gets lots of exposure
