Alright I have sort of covered this in my race truck build thread but through it was worth making a separate thread with a bit more info. This mod is really pretty simple once you get your head around removing the oil filter mount. To start with you need to buy a sandwich plate to suit a 3/4 by...

Well it finally came in the mail today. Will install it this week and see what sort of AFR's the compound setup is pulling. Once tuned I will be aiming for around 17:1

Hi all I'm chasing some info on the Fuel pressure sensor. I know it is a Denso unit but after trolling the internet for hours I cannot find anything. The plan is to buy a common rail pressure gauge to monitor the pressure while tuning however the only gauge I can find is for a Bosch sensor. I...

Hi all Im after a D22 YD25 intake manifold. Condition is irrelavent as long as the exhaust port bolting face is still intact. Casting can be cracked, not really fussed. Reason for purchase: Im making a hi mount manifold for my race truck. Will cover postage to Perth plus a bit extra. Let me...

Alrighty I wanna see what sort of engine swaps people would do if they had say $20K to spend on a conversion. Lets try and keep it some what realistic e.g. engine has to fit in a D22 engine bay without too much modification and not weight more than 500kgs. It can include transmission and...

Hi all Im looking into running a oil filter relocation kit on my race truck. Part of the reason is that I need to run an oil cooler of some sorts and the easiest way to do this is to run a relocation kit and plumb the cooler in between the block and filter. Oil Filter: Ryco Z89A Thread pitch...

Well I thought I would try my hand a building an exhaust manifold out of steam pipe. I have a rough idea on the cost of parts - $100ish. The YD25 exhaust manifolds are made from cast iron and have a habit of cracking. If anyone knows my build then it will be running significantly higher boost...

Im curious to know if anyone is running any sort of aftermarket pressure sensor on their fuel rail? I had a look on the Autometer website and they offer a 52mm gauge that reads up to 30 000psi which would more than cover the Nav at 1700 bar/24656psi. Also how would you install something like...

Well its been mentioned in a few other threads but I though it was time to start a dedicated thread for this build. As most of you know I like to be a bit different with the mods I do to my Nav, choosing to do things not many others have attempted or done. I bought this kit off a tuner in QLD...

Well as the name states I did both of these tracks last week. Trip is as follows: Day 1 - Perth to Kalgoorlie, we drove 80kms out of town down the trans line and camped in the bush. Pretty easy drive for the first day. Day 2 - From our bush camp we made it to Rawlinna by lunchtime, track was...

Anyone running one of their Turbos? Went and saw them last week and they recon they can get 135rwKW's out of the YD25 and it will run out to 35psi. They also have their own 3rd generation chip which controls boost, injector duration, injection timing and rail pressure

Hi all I have recently upgraded my intake piping from stock (2" or 2.5" not too sure) to 3" stainless. I have managed to bolt the MAF sensor back in using 4mm nutserts, it was pretty straight forward to do really. I have been told by a mate that by changing the intake piping the MAF sensor...

Enjoy!

Hi all Well as the name suggests Im making a new intake system and custom air box for the nav in an effort to improve turbo spool. The plan is to have a 4" S/steel snorkel going into some sort of air box and then into the turbo using 3" piping.The idea is to have the least amount of...

Hi all, time has come to replace the centre tail shaft bearing. I have been quoted $292 by Nizzbits. Just wondering what other people have paid and from where before I go and buy the part. Seems a bit excessive for one bearing. I'm more than capable of doing the work at home. I have a well set...

As most of you know my SAS conversion is almost done. While I intend to enjoy it for a while before taking it off the road again I am going to start planning a 4 link conversion in the rear. The purpose of this post is to get some ideas on how to do it, I have some rough ideas but want to get...

Well after months of searching I finally picked one up for $700 second hand yesterday. Plans are as follows: Upgraded brake shaft Full service kit inc all bushes and seals Albright solenoid Replace circlip with end cap and bearing Bow 2 motor This should get me a pretty competetative winch...

Someone mentioned this conversion on one of the Facebook forums today, pretty much its a light truck motor out of a Nissan 1.5 - 2ton truck. Very similar to a ZD30 but it must have a longer stroke and heavier internals. It revs out to about 3000rpm. Due to its robust construction it can handle A...

http://www.aironboard.com.au/online/compressors/rocker-switch-227-12-volt-bunny-burners-on-off-spot-driving-car-light-ute-286.html Has anyone fitted one of these to their Nav? I know space is limited in the engine bay but I recon I could make one fit. It would be very quick at pumping tires up...

So today I got bored and though stuff it, lets see how much of the EGR crap I can remove. Now one of the first mods I did was the EGR block, back when the ute only had 40000K on it. As most of you know the turbo spools slightly earlier, on my particular model from around the 1500 - 1600rpm mark...
