Plenum looks the goods. Interested to know how much of the inside got covered?

you can see in the picture looks like the hydrofilm goes in about 1 inch inch and a half maybe.

Yeah around an inch

So been almost a month since I've updated this thread. Few bits going on here and there.

I've almost completed the GTR front end conversion. Just need to source a GTR bonnet that people dont want half a years salary for. (Excuse the shitty S2 bonnet on it

I also decided to fatten up the rear quarters a bit. I tolled up welding in GTR rear panels but thought it too much work for now so i cheap'd out and just bought some over fenders. Quick test fit

I also picked up some fender washers as well, which might add a nicer touch

Also this is how I've been paying for most of my parts lately

Finally here are some new front wheels I purchased last week. 15" front runners

You've defintely helped out too as I am looking to go RB25/30, although I'm keen to Tomei Stroker it and make it RB25/34 :D

Also, was thinking of getting a precision turbo, good to see they are good turbo's!

3 months without an update. Well to say thats slack is putting it lightly.... The build was put on hold for a little while as i was moving from one second job to another and spare car funds were very low. All back up and going now trying to get this car finish...

Not entirely sure where i should be starting on this update so here goes. We will start with Gearbox

After much searching I ended up deciding to throw an Auto in the car for drag racing (not sure if this has been mentioned) Found a TH400 from VIC that seemed to fit the bill nicely and it came from a VL so already had the right housing etc and was 1000hp rated with a 5800 stall. No pics of box sorry. I also sourced a B&M Magnum shifter to go with it.

Heres a photo of it test fitted with an R33 auto gear surround instead of the B&M case

Next up we have the progress on the coilpack setup .I was gonig to originally go with a massive ugly looking external setup but in the end i really wanted something that could fit into the valley with the cover on and would give a lot more grunt than your standard Splitfires. Credit must be paid to Noel who is an Ex SAU QLD Pres and all round top bloke who gave me a great idea and allowed me to clone his coilpack setup. Combo is

LS2 Truck Coil
Springs from stock coils
2JZ silicone boots

Bit of love shown to these and they sit ontop of plugs like splitfires and under the valley cover

    • So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.
    • Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
    • So awesome! I love the RB with the exhaust on display.
    • NO HITS PRICE DROP   ENGINE - $8.5k ONO TRANSMISSION - $1.8k ONO  
    • If it has had a code in the recent past, the code should still be there waiting to be read.
