love it big boy. it looks just like I pictured it all those months ago. hard to believe it wasn't that long ago we were standing in the back of my truck ripping boxes open! and now all those boxes = 1 car. :D

it will be the star of the show wherever you take it mate. let's please take it to japan and show them what some hairy backed foreigners can build. :D (note, using the best japanese parts of course...) :D

lol, they don't need luck, sea captain. they have a GTR.... :wacko:

Yep I've had my arse handed to me plenty by Mark and Russ. Although we have done lots of improvements to the boat to catch up to their R32 times, possibly, then they sold it and went into hyperdrive with this R34 beast, and moved the goal post again. Go Russ and Mark, no good standing still, your hair gets swept forward from everyone passing you, or maybe catching up is my goal.

mai gawd... that thing is crazy!

If it's at superlap, I'm going to touch it, I'm warning you now!

your going to touch 'it'...thats par for the course anyway Doof.

we wouldn't have expected anything less.

HEY GUYS

Sorry for the lack of updates, really busy getting it ready at the moment!

engine has now got a basic run in tune and hoping to get it on the track this afternoon to run it in for a few kays.

we are running out of time and lots still to do, so we will still be doing initial testing at oran park on saturday.

i will post some more pics shortly.

we have been busy trying to get undertrays and front bumper & glass etc in the car , along with dash configuration and wiring. etc etc etc.

i was happy with the initial dyno start up , we had no dramas at all and it seems like boost will come on very very early, we will know shortly.

cheers russ

    • 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?
