So I'm finally getting time to get out from behind the desk and under my car to begin building up my personal 1998 Nissan 240sx. Many may recognize my RB26 that’s been swapped in and out of some of the cars I’ve owned...

Our shop 350Z race car...
http://x.co/YbIU

Being the owner of Raw Brokerage I guess it made sense to do something up for both myself and the company.

The goal behind the car is to keep it as streetable/ daily functional, while obviously getting some desirable performance out of it. This means that I won't be building a race car but a happy medium of fun and comfort for everyday driving.

Enough blabbing and onto some pictures (sorry for some of the water marking, can't find the originals of my older photos)…

The car was originally from Texas but I later purchased and shipped it down from Chicago.
http://x.co/YbD7
http://x.co/YbCZ

Side by side with my brother's (240AceX) '98 Kouki with an R34 RB25 Neo...
http://x.co/YbJM

Decided to start off installing some suspension bits and some BC Racing Coilovers…
http://x.co/YbEx

A set of CCW Classics 18x9.5 for the front and a set of 18x11 in the rear were slapped on and aligned for good measure.
http://x.co/YbFA
http://x.co/YbFF

...but that didn’t last long as some idiots decided to jack the wheels off the car a month later :(

Oh well, back to stock wheels (replacements will come) and the decision to overhaul the car for some power…

The RB26 was built a few years back for another build of mine but changed my mind on the chassis to use. But since the change of events I've decided to drop it into my car..

Engine specs:
R32 RB26DETT (blue printed and clearance)
Modified RB26 AWD Oil Pan
R33 RB26DETT Crank Shaft
ARP Rod Bolts
ARP Main Bolts
Shot peened and cyro-treated rods
CP Pistons
Cometic Head Gasket
Tomei Type B Valve Springs, Ti retainers and keepers
Tomei lifters
SP Bronze valve guides
-12AN head drain
NGK Spark Plugs
http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/2782/40148881hz8.jpg

Bolted on the intake side I retained the factory intake manifold setup and ITB’s…
http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/320/img0242ah8.jpg

Exhaust side for the time being wears a Full-Race manifold, T4 GT35R 1.06 A/R, Twin TiAl MV-S wastegates…
http://x.co/YbJC

Fabricated a 4" downpipe coming off the turbo...
http://x.co/YbG4

The front of the motor received a set of Raw Brokerage under driven accessory pulleys, 30% on the alternator and 10% on the water pump…
http://rawbrokerage.com/images/1288413240166-399736229.jpeg

Also a 1500whp rated Ross Tuffbond MetalJacket and crank trigger wheel for the front of the crankshaft…

Now begins the car tear down…

Using McKinney mounts. The clearance is minimal (re: as most RB swaps, no room for puller fans). But I have a solution for that :naughty:

Hey Ricky, did Haltech recommend the use of an aftermarket oil pressure sensor? They told me that the accuracy of the OEM pressure sensor is limited, and recommended theirs or a Honeywell or Bosch unit. Their tech support is top notch, but I want to be sure it is not a sales pitch. That Haltech system combined with the Racepak is awesome, and can be more cost effective then purchasing a bunch of gauges. Nice work man!

No they're right. I'm using a spare bosch unit that I had for my previous oil pressure gauge on my RB25, so that will be used with this setup.

We run this combo on all the cars here. I wanted to be cool too. :)

Separated the engine from the cross member and front suspension to clean everything up and do some slight modifications to the engine.

http://x.co/ZC7E

Now that the engine is out and the engine bay was stripped back down. Took her outside to get scrubbed and cleaned, AGAIN.

http://x.co/ZC6S

Now begins the process in making the car look pretty… first comes the paint… a low gloss white was applied to the engine bay alone (as the rest of the car isn’t ready for such awesomeness and attention).

http://x.co/ZC7Q

With the car making more power only mean one thing… more heat. So some gold heat foil was applied to the firewall (decided to do the whole firewall for aesthetics) and the driver side frame rail where dump tubes and exhaust transmit off heat.

http://x.co/ZC6m
http://x.co/ZC6s
http://x.co/ZC7e

Had a hell of a time applying the foil as it didn’t like the paint’s surface… but oh well, car must go on!

Andres_G

09-14-2011, 09:26 AM

I work for discount tire company as a manager and unless you putting that style of wheels locks on every stud I can have those wheels of your vehicle in about ten minutes. Spend the extra money and do every stud.

So there is still a chance of getting your wheels stolen even though there is 1 wheel lock on each wheel??

Are you saying that having wheel locks on all studs is a better idea?

I noticed a lot of chase bays stuff/ or made your own but did not opt for the tucked radiator to maximize space or cooling..so you could fit clutch fan shroud combo or use duel fans on the engine side...are you planning on using a/c...last question or request..the fuel setup you guys should sell that as a complete kit or in packages...keep up the good work...

Coolwhip

11-11-2011, 10:26 AM

Brake line kit is a CB item. The power steering setup was made in-house. We did install a Chase Bay tuck radiator and a clutch fan however, the outlets of the radiator interfere with the blades of the fan.

We'll be modifying the radiator to route the hoses away from the fan. After that the clutch fan will be installed and a custom shroud will be made.

A/C is being installed when we redo the radiator setup and hood pins for the new hood (allow us room to move the condenser forward and remove the hood release)

You'll want to route it after any O2/widebands you have. Also, you'll only want to run to your exhaust if you have a straight pipe exhaust so that you don't have any back pressure pressurizing your catch can/crankcase.

Give me a call at the shop and let me know what you're looking to do.

The Tomei restrictor is 1.5mm, most track dedicated rb26 engines are using a 1.1-1.2 with a higher volume pumps (tomei/nitto/remax/hks/jun)

Using the N1 pump will provide proper lubrication, but the question is gear strength, for a drift car I'd get a better pump (their ridiculously priced I know. maybe raw brokerage can get you a deal on a pump :)

Also a oil drain on the back of the head should be installed.

Hey man, I looooooove your build so far. Alot of attention to detail and I have a lot of respect in the motor build and turbo set-up as a fellow RB26 owner. Keep it up, Im anticipating seeing the final product of paint! :P

Quick question man, I have heard that McKinney mounts allow flex under high torque making very quick shifting difficult due to motor mount flexing. Aswell as a high and forward engine position compared to other mounts that utilize a R33 crossmember. Im just looking for insight on what motor mounts I should go with, in a RB26DETT in a US LHD S13.

Thank you, and I will be staying tuned on this thread sir!
Mike

Thanks Mike. The McKinney kit is really well made and actually positions the motor pretty much as far back as you can and as low as you can before fouling against anything in the engine bay re: firewall, cross member, etc.

I've sold countless amount of mount kits and have nothing but success with all types of applications using them. Hence why I have a set on my personal car ;)
