Thanks for the A.
First build just going with what feels right.
Next time there are a few changes I may tweak.

70ina30

not much to do today as im waiting on Mr UPS.
i did prep the crossmember for the new mounts.
removed old KA mounts and cleaned the surface.




didnt quite line up


drilled out a bit


perfect


installed but not tightened down yet.
probably gona need some wiggle room when installing




removed craptastic carbon fiber looking graphic and preped spark plug cover


bought some cheap ass place mat material


testing out best way to do this


not too bad. im still not happy with it, so i may do it again..

1GR-FE

Pretty creative solution with the foam for the pattern. Some people may not like it, but those are the types of things that makes a car yours. Keep up the good work!

70ina30

Thank you. Trying to "do it myself". While now on a budget with the baby on the way.
I know rb25 build and budget dont realy go together lol

Worked on the harness today
laid it out to see what i need to work on.
its not much as the longest part past the rubber seal, was all for the engine.


since i bought the car as a shell it didnt have an ecu or engine harness to mess with




this is the plug that has been posted that needs to be modified


it is a direct fit into my 95 240sx base




this can be done indoors in the nice cool air




looking up the wiring diagram online to write down all the wire codes


now im going to use the rb25-s14 guide that has been posted about which wires to move where on this M63 F3 plug!

70ina30

All done repinning. Now to tape up

Got some goodies today.
New z32 fuel filter and new fuel line

-you are better off getting a r32 or cefiro x-member

-you should just remove those valve covers and replace those gaskets.

-did you change your REAR MAIN SEAL?

-you should just replace that stocker turbo with a holset hx30-35

Stock 240 x-member + zero lift mount kit + rb25 rubber mounts = great fit.
All the parts lined up. Sits low and back.
Even clears the steering rack

Gaskets..... check
Rear main seal..... check

As for turbo, stocker for now. Not sure after that.

Btw here are my notes from using rb25 ecu pinout guide to configure the f3 plug that needs to be changed





Final f3 configuration looking at the plug from the backside

70ina30

Front mount and radiator in place. Waiting ona few more parts.

A suggestion for you, remove those fans and get a shroud that covers the entire radiator, not just the 12" where the fan is. You're car will run much cool this way, rather than how it's setup now.

I only have enough room for 1 of these fans closest to the intake mani side.
The other side fan hits the belts.
The stock clutch fan was too far foward to fit.
So if i do 1 fan on that side, can i get a shroud that covers the rest?
Like this but single fan

Apex Eight

Great build so far. Keep it up man

aga

are you gonna have air con? if not, you can build a radiator that fits in the space previously used by the air con radiator, and use the isis shroud. it will have to be shorter in height, but you can make it a bit thicker. bear in mind that thicker radiators take longer to cool down.

the easier way is to install two push fans in the front of the radiator. a friend with an rb25 has done that and says he has no problems with temps.

New wheel!



Getting closer. Almost done with intercooler piping

70ina30

Sorry its been a while.
Finally had the courage to start it.... Sounded great minus not having any exhaust on.
No smoke at all.
No oil leaks
No water leaks
Little rough on the idle. But i will get that dialed in.

Pics uploading now and i will post soon
