Finally changed out my 'Rajab Racing' K-frame with a good one that I had painted... (I'm suprised the former one didn't receive a mention when the Calais went over the pits!) Also just got my brake calipers back from being rebuilt. They'll go on soon with new rotors - firstly just getting rid of the V8 3.08 ratio diff thats was retardedly put in by a previous owner... Also need to change my brake master cylinder aswell. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Weight reduction to run fast? Haha

I just picked up my hubs this arvo from getting bead blasted and new bearings shells pressed in and will probably end up getting some DBA slotted rotors all round. For now just going for 297mm rotors up front to fit under my polished Walky rims. Quote: Originally Posted by leb vlt [View Post] Weight reduction to run fast? Haha lol Who knows what the reasons were, I was thinking maybe it was to run a bigger sump, but I thought they were generally made to fit without any chopping... Spent a fortune buying new coolant hoses for the RB25 - genuine Nissan as no one seems to make an aftermarket kit. I learnt from my white Calais to change the hoses while the motor is out because theres not much room for my hands in the engine bay to change the ones under the inlet manifold! The plan for now is to run a stockish RB25DET setup, so I can get it engineered with the twin cam motor and then go better later But for now I've got a highflowed R34 turbo, with the larger OP6 rear housing, and an LTX12s ecu/loom to go on it.

Sweet, PM me the details Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeahh boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

**** has it been that long since this thread was last updated? Twin cam get in me!

Excellent!

No v8 anymore? Still loving the 25 in mine though Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

The plan was always to run with the 25, but I wasnt sure if/how long I would keep it. I've got a 26 head and a 30 bottom end that I'd like to build, but $$ wise, a V8 would probably better.. I've got a couple bits and pieces planned for the 25 anyways: 550cc Deatschwerks Injectors with Nismo FPR Tomei Poncams with adjustable Exhaust cam gear and Tomei 'Type A' valve Springs High flow R34 Neo OP6 Turbo built by Per4manz Nismo clutch slave cylinder, Nismo H/d crossmember mount, Nismo Shifter Xtreme 9 puck clutch Ecu - Undecided yet. Wouldn't mind a Vipec or may just look at a PowerFC with Z32 afm...

Head is in the shop getting cleaned up and new valve stem seals and H/D valve springs put in Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

So good that I haven't washed it since that day..... (or driven it haha)

So, I've finally been doing some work to get the Calais running.. Head has had a complete service - faced, valves reseated, new valve stem seals, new Performance heavy duty valve springs. Also bought a set of Tomei Poncams and a Tomei adjustable exhaust cam gear, which have been fitted. Put together now with all new Genuine parts from Nissan - head gasket, head bolts, cam/crank seals, manifold gaskets, timing belt and idler/tensioner, water pump, coolant hoses etc etc Also has Deatschwerks 550cc injectors, Nismo adjustable fuel pressure regulator. I just have to wire it all up now, will be using an Apexi PowerFC, and also have a brand new Z32 afm. For the gearbox, I've got a few new goodies from Nismo, including solid shifter, clutch slave cylinder, clutch fork pivot bolt and a heavy duty rear mount. Also a brand new clutch master cylinder and braided clutch line from HEL waiting to go on. I sold the hi-flow R34 OP6 turbo I had a while ago, and have ordered a new ATR43-SS2 from Hypergear Turbos in Victoria. Fingers crossed, with this set up it could see up to 400rwhp! Lastly, today I picked up my awesome wrinkle red cam covers from Perth Powder Coaters! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Looking good Steve!
