Got pretty much everything sorted on my car now, pretty happy with how its turned out, just have to mount the catch can tomorrow/whenever and wire up the horns

Have a strange problem with my power steering but, Sometimes it will start and work normal, sometimes it will start and the steering will be heavy. Today I started it 4 times, and only 1 time it was heavy. Nothing has really changed in the power steering side since before the engine change.... Must be Hicas related I'd think, even though my Hicas is removed and has been fine for ages

Might need a longer 3" - 2.5" reducer but

Sounds like awesome to.

What I do need but is a 2.5" - 3" straight reducer thats a bit longer then the one I've got. If anyone knows who makes a longer one then the usual 3" long then let me know. Mines just a bit to short and its causing that cooler pipe skew a bit which is putting a couple of other things out of wack

Or if anyone has a longer one (especially in black) that you want to sell me then that will work to :)

theres a couple of little things to clean up that bug me. Using a flash on the engine bay makes all those little things show up lol. Look at it in daylight and it looks better :)

Its all cosmetic (apart from connecting the wastegate vac lines up) stuff to do now, so it can wait till I feel like doing it

saw a white R34 come past work today, had a sunroof black wheels and a realllly different bodykit. It looked and sounded like a GTR, snapped my neck to try and get a look at the boot and didn't see a badge so it must have been a heavily modded R34 GT-T. First time i've seen it. Anyone know anything about it? Sounded nice and looked pretty good but the front bumper was a bit ehhh..

i just saw it again the other day Cal, definitely a GT-T. First time i saw it it was from a bit of a distance, but y/day it drove straight passed me and it is 100% not a GTR..

Yeah the front bar looks a bit standard but i think it had something different about it, either way it didn't really tickle my fancy.

Yeah thats the one I was thinking of. Pretty sure Chris bought it off you Ben? but it has been sold again since then. If so I think it had a GTX3071 and some tasteful mods.

Nice car.

IF its the same one lol

Did it look something like this Sean?

This is my old GT-T i sold it ages ago i think it is still in Mackay.

Nah wasn't this one man, but i have seen this car around it sounds really nice. And looks great for a GTT!

    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
