Yes, I have the full CJM fuel return Kit, I think this is the fitting here. https://cj-motorsports.com/products/fuel-tap-4-way-2-bolt it gives you fuel in, fuel out to the Rails , by pass to the reg then back to tank & Gauge Port. Cheers Mate.

G'day Mate, no Vacuum reference, fuel pump is always on. When using an aftermarket pump, just use the factory fuel pump + wire to switch a relay for pump supply. Here's a vid on my youtube channel showing setting up fuel return & the fuel pump wiring I did as a part of my TT Build

Take a Look Here.

I honestly have no idea regarding the 7at but would assume they have similar Stock Torque handling capacity. Plenty of Guys with Turbo 7at Zeds in the US, seems to be pretty much the same upgrade path as the 5at. Billet Flex Plate & Rebuilt Trans either by IPP or Level 10. Now that I have tweaked the Torque Tables the 5at seems totally fine at this stage. I guess the test will be, as I mentioned, when the R Compound Tyres go on. At least I can Log AT Slip & keep an eye on it, hopefully all will be good. Cheers.

Cheers Dash, yes I agree, hopefully I can Make it live for a while with a few tricks & being a bit kind to it.(probably not going to happen) It is shift kitted, so that may help. Biggest issue is when you change injector size it throws the Base Fuel Schedule Right off. BFS is the Main Calculation that the ECU Uses to predict Torque at any given load. So if you double injector size, the Engine ecu tells the Trans Ecu to only expect half the Torque at the given load point. Trans Ecu adjusts Line pressure accordingly, at least thats my understanding. There are 2 Tables I have been working on & the results are fantastic so far. Once the R888's go on it will probably need more work, as the tyres let go before any real load can be applied to the trans in 1st second & Third. A lot of Tuners are un aware of this function too, which kinda sucks, as you could destroy your tranny pretty quickly without tweaking the tables. And of course you have the mechanical limitations of the Trans friction plates. If at full line pressure they still slip, its upgrade trans time. Cheers Mate.

G'day Mate, yes it absolutely is. Its at just a Tad under 10psi & a pretty conservative tune. We started to get a little bit of Transmission slip & decided to leave it there. The VQ just wants to make Power. I've since been doing some street logging & making adjustments to the Transmission related Torque Tables in Uprev & it seems to be cured. Grip or lack of it is the biggest issue at the moment. I have a set of R888r's to go on it later this week so that should help. That & bringing the Driver up to Speed. Cheers Mate.

Coming along Nicely.

Apologies Folks, have been a bit slack posting up links to my build. Here you Go.

Just be patient, its a really tough job. You'll probably have to unbolt the engine mount bracket from the block to slide the mount up & off. One side is heaps harder than the other, not sure which now. Anyhow, good luck with it all. Cheers.

G'day Mate, I installed the Z1 Urethane Transmission Mount about 2 years ago, in my opinion it was a worthwhile mod. The trans does move around a bit on those hard launches & 1-2, 2-3 changes. It totally solved that. I also did the rear cradle bushes (whiteline Urethane) & also the Diff Bush (again Whiteline Urethane). They were done around 3 years ago & again imo a worthwhile upgrade. The NVH has gone up quite a bit, though for me that's not a problem. I would describe it as a bit of road rumble & you can feel the drive line when accelerating etc. Its really not that bad though. Some folks are really funny about that sort of thing, so it appears to be a bit of a personal preference. Basically, every suspension component you change will add a degree of NVH. The Factory package is pretty good to be honest, apart from just general mushiness, considering how well it handles stock & how well it isolates. Cheers Mate.

Merry Christmas Folks, #4 up now.

#3 up now Guys, Cheers.

Episode 2 up now if anyone's interested. Cheers.

G'day Mate, regardless of anything else unless it comes from a RHD donor car it simply won't fit. Going this route I would suggest a pair of turbo's & manifolds from a RHD GTR & adapter plates from a guy on the US Z forums. VR30 Turbos are going to be to small anyway. Or if you have a Manual Car, a modified BP Kit is the Go, which is an easy mod for RHD or you could always go A Stillen Supercharger Kit with Air to Air mod kit. Cheers.

Cheers Guys, yep stock motor, as stated above no real reason to be dropping compression, doing a rebuild etc. Sure if you were looking to build a monster & had plenty of $$$$'s to throw at it, by all means. For Street Duty its quite capable as is with some low boost. There are many other limitations for how far i go with true street driven vehicles too, no 1 being Driver Skill. Should be plenty for an old fart like me. Was hoping to get quite a bit more done on it this week, but unfortunately the wife had a fall on Sunday putting up Christmas decorations of all things & Fractured her Spine. So needless to say I've been in out of the Hospital all week. I'll be loading up a couple of videos on some other stuff i'd already finished (not car related) to my youtube channel tomorrow, so don't be disappointed when other stuff shows up if you have subscribed to me. The Turbo Build will be continuing, just a badly timed hiccup. Apologies Guys, Cheers, Trev.

G'day Mate, plumbing isn't an issue with the trans, all good. Trans is 5at RE5R05A. I did the valve body myself a couple of years ago, I have a Fast Intentions Billet Flex Plate & will do the converter while its out for this part of the build. The whole trans will get a rebuild & beef up as soon as I can afford it too. Hopefully sooner rather than later. Probably have a crack at it myself. Cheers.

Cheers Mate.

Finally Gotten around to starting my Diy RHD Twin Turbo Build. Posting it all up to my Youtube Channel as i'm **** at typing stuff out I've already done 2 fuel system mod vids, but this is the first proper start of the Twin Turbo Build. Hope some of you guys find it interesting.

Just Posted this up to my Youtube Channel, Hopefully some of you Guys will find it helpfull. Cheers. https://youtu.be/9RsSXBilXE4

No anger here Mate, sorry, did questioning your statement hurt your Feewings. So which Aussie State is Nitrous legal on the street again?

Big assumption there Champ, be a pretty pissy turbo kit doing 450 at the flywheel. Even so, NA guys are only getting around 320 ATW on a Dyno Jet in the US & that's with long tubes & all the Fruit, etc. If you assume a 20% loss, so 450 - 90 = 360. Still, thats 40 hp more than so called bolt ons will get you. Getting that power NA is not cheap either.

Define "this power level"? Nitrous on the street, bit to much F & F I think.

I Dunno, looks a bit Tractorish.

I have 245's on my Massey Ferguson & they look pretty good. Damn City Boys.

What gives with the Brembo stickers on your Akebono Calipers? I guess they match your Racing Stripe. Noice.
