Hey guys Perhaps this question is more towards the Aus/NZ/Jap guys as i have a JDM VH41, I would like to replace the rear crank seal. Anyone know if this seal is the same as other nissan engines? Such as VH45, SR20's etc?? Part number would be good too Thanks Bart

Well its been over 3 and a half years (i think) building my LJ, i went for the engineer certificate and registration, And it passed. Thank christ its over. So im happy and relieved. Oh got to thank everyone who helped and a encouraged me, and advised me, there have been times when i was stuck but there was usually someone here who could help.Unfortunately the car isnt fully restored and it shows in these pics, but the idea half way through the build was to complete it to the point of engineering and rego and here it is all engineered and regoed. Since half way through the build we/I was told, and most of us in Sydney heard the RTA (Roads and Traffic Authorities) will change the modification rules so i had to rap it up early. Has some primer etc on it but you get the general idea, it has potential to be a real nice looking Torana with some body work and paint which will come later. 




Since my camera went flat on me i couldnt get close ups and detailed pics Heres a little peak of the passenger side turbo, GT3071R with K&N filter and a -8 Speed flow fitting hanging down to drain the oil, the oil drains through this and sucked through by a gear type electric oil pump, into the sump, the other turbo shares the same line/pump. The pump is used for drainage as the turbo is below the line of the sump i.e. not gravity drained

NSW or Nanny State Wales plan on restricting the engine capacities in engine swaps. I think they have done this all ready in QLD? Its supposed to be a national code, but seems very blotchy, lots of mixed messages from the RTA, cant get a straight answer from those people. I think in my case with the rules yet to come, the maximum turbo engine size would be 3.0liters.

Oh yeah, I've been working off that code. I quite like it, works well for the Z. It's the vehicle mass times 3 for the maximum displacement for a FI engine. I'm guessing that the Torry is pretty light compared to my 1500KG Zed :p The interesting thing is it all depends on how it is interpreted. According to the regs there is no reason why you can't get a NA motor (such as the LS1) into a 300ZX (or whatever) under the NA engine swap mod cose, then at a later date get it turbo'd/supercharged under the forced induction installation mod code. Although it is over the displacement per weight, there is no clause in the forced induction code that limits the size of the motor at all.

Factory carbon canister I believe... I'll check it out for you properly if it doesn't turn out to be that.

I just checked out an old pic of a cima engine bay and can confirm that it does go to the carbon canister... and I'm pretty sure that they're under vacuum from the intake to keep the system closed loop.

Hey Bart,Checked one of my engines, line plumbs into the intake already behind the throttle. Just block it off. The little green solenoid next to it is the lift solenoid for the carbon canister.

Should be around 43-45psi w/o vacuum when idling. Ive found fuel pressure is higher when the engine is cold. I always take a quick drive then set according.

So whats your HP goal with the car? You think youll find any restrictions with stock cams and intake manifold? I cant wait to see the tq numbers since this is something im really looking into doing for my 240sx except using a VH45 and twin 60-1's.

Im not expecting big numbers but i would be happy with 450hp. Its on 5 psi boost and has log style exhaust manifolds which are inherently restrictive. So 450 would be ok as a start. Later i would go for bigger injectors, custom inlet manifold, and extractor style exhaust manifolds.
