Massive thanks to Hypergear to assisting me with my turbo issues and rebuilding my 35R to ATR43 specs. I cant wait to drive the car with this!

well not a lot has happened to the s14 lately but i finally have parts and the next 3-4 weeks are going to be FULL ON. so here goes the updates!

Got the motor back from machinist... hot washed the block, hone, new welsh plugs, decked the block, grubscrewed the crank, linished crank, skimmed the head, hardness tested and pressure tested the head. new valve stem seals and general clean up. all going back together this weekend with total seal rings, ACL race bearings for mains and big ends (new ones again) full nissan gasket kit and deciding to go back to OEM head gasket instead of the MLS gasket i was using.

finally painted the engine bay and inside... tho i ran out of paint and didnt fully finish some parts of the inside.. makes it very difficult with full windows in to paint the inside of a car lol. Will have to finish the rest later on cause im all out of time/paint etc to do the rest. All in all.. looks shit loads better

nah i just want to finish this thing.... sick of working so many late nights on it... thats the down side of doing 90% of shit yourself i guess

The joys of doing everything yourself! It takes time!

Good work mate!

too true.. i just dont have the budget to afford to pay someone else to do everything else for me. plus im a qualified mechanic so i'd be stupid to palm it off anyway haha.

another day done... more work done.. not as much progress as i'd like as i spent more time scraping gaskets off the rb26 intake gear then actually achiving stuff... man those gaskets are a fkn PAIN to remove!!

We run 3 bond on ours now. the standard ones are expensive, and a pain to remove. stands upto 23 psi fine

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.

      How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      I reckon you'd get 90% off. My washer doesn't get between spokes very well. Haha! I love my Gerni!  Argh! Steam cleaning has its place for sure.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
