Had a nice surprise waiting for me at work this morning.

Last Years 300C Safety car from the V8s was waiting for me at my office :laugh:. Straight through 3" exhaust sounds REALLY TOUGH. Dont know what they have done but wheel spin when every you try and drive it either forward and back ( and not at 100% throttle :) )

i can say its the only time i have had TOLL paperwork stating

Departure : Mount Panorama

Location : ************

it looks as though it has had a very hard 6300Km's. plenty of paint damage, skid panels on the ground. It feels like it has done 600,000Kms.

Driving a left hand drive is really weird. Got some pics just need to find the cord to get them off the phone

fitted a GFB Stealth FX bov today, got it for 200$. got it on full 'silent' plumb back mode with spring strength around 80%, sounds funny when you let your foot off the gas..... :laughing-smiley-014:

out with the video camera Brendan you know we want to hear it :thumbsup:

hahahaha will do. did a recording on my mobile phone as I was testing. cant hear the 'flutter' sound under off-acceleration with only mild boost. with full bost all you hear are big "whooshes" but its the flutter that sounds funny. like a wrx with a dogbox and megaphone-atmo bov. not hugely audible but its there.

just need to add a small correction to the safc up at around 6000rpm, got a little ping.

funny shite. gone from wanting to keep it quiet to hiflow turbo, pod, whooshy bov, rumbling Kakimoto muffler, etc. makes a fair old racket now. sounds cool tho

;)

yeah i was thinking of new muffler 5" Kakimoto but want 5 stud conversion and new rims first if i do change i want subtle note all the time with a roar when above 4,000 atm its loud all the time

hey i think i forgot to give you a trader rating for that CPU sitting on my shelf ;)

Hey brendan!

How ya doing? How's the knee pulling up post surgery? Hope all is well and your enjoying (as best you can) your time off work. Sounds like you been having some fun with the car, will have to swing by and have a better look one weekend :down:

Cheers

Lee

yeah 4 sure !

:down:

pretty sore the past 2 days just after leaning over the bonnet installing the bov for half hour on saturday.

damn, all good tho coming along. start physio, etc this week.

:) w00t MV Autos today getting the shift kit installed and auto serviced :)

nearing the end of the mods

no more boooooooost, high rpm goodness, whoooooosh, boooost, higher rpm stress, ign cut, nothing.....nothing.......nothing......(ping), flare + change.

just BANG change

lol

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
