thats a joke really

where abouts was this mech located?

Very very well known place. Well enough that if I named it I'm sure everyone would think I'm blatantly lying...

why'd you send it to SA when knox automatics can do it in VIC?

also exactly what are they havin issues with?

I did initially call Knox autos. They told me they don't touch the R34 Triptronic system in terms of adding a shift kit to it, though they were happy to service one etc, or provide upgrades for 33, 32, but no valve body upgrades for the Triptronic from them.

Hence, MV Autos in SA.

I'm not that savvy, all I am is adept with lurking these forums and /search. I've been told the issues are due to the R34 NA and Turbo being wildly different behind the scenes, they can't actually get the car going well enough to get a reading from the ECU re: Error codes and the car is constantly in limp mode. Even though all the wiring has been changed, I've been told it's due to an issue with the dash, and that it may not be possible at all.

I would have thought that if you change the engine, ecu, and all the wiring between all the components and the transmission with the turbo gear, it should actually work, considering it is infact now a factory turbo car.

But what do I know :laugh:

are you trying to use a factory ECU? just use one that can be programmed to ignore the tacho anti tampering.

Yes.

Unless it's going to pass an EPA (i.e Nistune?) then I don't want it.. otherwise I'd be in this situation one day when someone goes OLOLOLO AFTERMARKET ECUS!!! JOO MUST REPLACE!! (I am sure EPA representatives speak like this)

I did ask if Nistune would work, but was advised that it wouldn't be able fix the issue by just tricking the car into ignoring niggly crap. That said, the shop doesn't do Nistune. So it'd have to be towed somewhere else. That's pretty much what is going to happen if they do throw their hands up in the air and declare it an impossible job.

Then get em to intercept the signal and change it to something the ECU accepts as normal and carry on doing what it does.

Also, no one I know of has had their R34's ECU checked to make sure its standard. OBDII scanner won't work cos its an R34, and a CONSULT scanner won't work cos it's an OBD port on an R34. harden the fuck up and put in an aftermarket ECU. If its as modified as I think it is, then that's gonna be the last of your worries if someone is goin over your car.

arden the f**k up and put in an aftermarket ECU. If its as modified as I think it is, then that's gonna be the last of your worries.

Not trying to argue (especially in such a light hearted wasteland thread) but whats the point of doing that, only to get done, and having to replace the aftermarket ECU with a legal one, placing me squarely in the same situation with additional cost :laugh:

As for the car being modified, it was originally probably f***ed beyond hope of any kind of fix. Infact it was. That's pretty much why I said remove everything in the damn car and replace it with everything factory. I used to have visions of burning the workshop down to claim it on insurance, but now that I cancelled that.. or rather chose not to renew the yearly payment yet.. I'll have to eliminate arson as a means of getting a working skyline, lol.

w00t. work meister S1 outer barrels gettin anodised blue tomorrow :)

still trying to figure out if I wanna polish the centres or get them water transferred with fake carbon pattern or have it powdercoated matte black.

headlights and tails are goin black, so it'll be blue with black details. probably should just powdercoat the centres black n call it a day. I can anodise the nuts black too that way.

Shit's gonna blow these golf kids minds with awesomeness.

fitment... pokes out of guard by 5mm and tucks with stretched tyres. distance from fender to rim... 4mm :laugh:

and now I've got no spare monies. come onnnnn tax return.

Saw fake CF centers on a 180 once...looked aids.

I'd go black, but you might come up with a better CF finish than what I saw..

wow, so it's bog standard? yeesh... the thought of just cuttin your losses and buying a standard car that worked didn't cross your mind?

It wasnt initially, its however (attempted)? to have been transplanted with bog stock everything (i.e, stock ecu, stock RB25det neo, looms from the GTT engine etc), except it all doesn't want to play nice. I was under the impression it would be easy to do so, so I agreed to it. Remember, I'm not mechanically minded at all (f**k, only had the car 2 months in my actual possession since I bought it about a year ago), so when a very well regarded places recommends replacing the entire engine with a stock one, with stock everything else to get it going it sounds drastic but I trusted that judgement. Obviously if I could go back in time, a lot of people would have made some very different decisions. :laugh:

      Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!

      RH9 R32 GTR Build Thread

      The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...

      Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.

      I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
