mr_rbman Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 wish i had the patience and could bother doing something like that! Looks good! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/161278-my-little-interior-project/page/2/#findComment-2999377 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightcrawler Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 yeah it's a fair bit of stuffing around (too me around 12 hours all up believe it or not - planning, pulling the car apart, metal fabrication, fitting, soldering/wiring, carbon covering, put the car back together), but well worth it in the end. Not bad for a first attempt I reckon. Looks like this weekend is the mod-a-thon for my R34 if anyone want to come over and help/play/watch .... GT2530 turbo install, new radiator, new oil cooler, new trans cooler, new thermo fan and other bits and pieces.

Whiplash Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 would come out and help but i'm useless when it comes to anything mechanical and with my luck with working with anything i'll ruin the 34 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/161278-my-little-interior-project/page/2/#findComment-2999425 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightcrawler Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 no worries Darren .... yeah I am not after anything too spectacular - will be happy with around 230-240rwkw if all goes to plan. I won't have a PowerFC running it (since it is an auto) which is a bit of a shame, but we will see what the SAFCII can do. Has anyone fitted a fuel pump and fuel reg. before? I haven't, but am gonna give it a shot. If I remember correctly when I played with my S15's 040, the pump still had tons of fuel pressure in it even when the battery was disconnected. I am not sure how to get around this. lol Nick - so you work at a car retailer, yet are useless mechanically? Nice one!

heslo Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Awesome Andrew, that sounds great! Where'd you pick up the new turbs from if you don't mind me asking. She should definately have a bit more pull once you're finished this weekend. Take it you aren't going on the BSM cruise then? Pity, would have loved to seen her in action Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/161278-my-little-interior-project/page/2/#findComment-2999428 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightcrawler Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Luke, it's my brother-in-laws ex-turbo. His R33 kind of died (see attached pics - stationary at the lights and some noob hit him from behind at 60km/h and pushed him into the car in front even though he as hard on the brankes) about a month back. He bought it second hand, but it has no shaft play and he was running 240rwkw with a conservative tune and relatively low boost. Yeah it's going to suck to miss the cruise, but I have been wanting to get this gear on my car for ages and this weekend seems like my only free time. There will always be another cruise. fyi David has just bought a Silver 1997 S3 R33GTR from Melbourne - damn it is a sweet car!!!

Nightcrawler Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 haha was just stirring you Nick .... but feel free to come over if you have nothing better to do. I have lots of little fiddly jobs to do too like the oil breather tank/kit, and the radiator breather/air remover kit to fit too. Not hard jobs, but time consuming and fiddly.

slimjim Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Has anyone fitted a fuel pump and fuel reg. before? I haven't, but am gonna give it a shot. If I remember correctly when I played with my S15's 040, the pump still had tons of fuel pressure in it even when the battery was disconnected. I am not sure how to get around this. Yeah I have. You unplug the electrics to the pump and then crank the car over with your key, de-pressurises the system. Then disconnect the return fuel line I think, and let it drain back into the tank. Pumps easy hope you have a fairly empty tank tho! FPR is even easier if its a non-adjustable one, easy as pie!

heslo Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Damn, that R33 has seen better days! Atleast it was a good excuse to upgrade to a GTR Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/161278-my-little-interior-project/page/2/#findComment-3001205 Share on other sites More sharing options...
