update, dunno why, not really much of a build thread person, but getting comments on it gives some motorvation.

Also got "too many projects syndrome"

Thanks to buying a dirtbike, a dr30 and a chev nova on this years california trip.

plus genral living, enjoying life and trying to save to build some units all adds up to doing sweet f**k all on the ceff :)

Still sorting out shit, indicators work now, fixed a wiring issue that was causing a flat battery, radiator finally died (it was the same one as it had when it intially got imported)

modified and fixed the drivers seat rail, new catchcan mounting.

heaps of small things.

Larger mods included.

intank pump (VL commodore, BRO) with a modded cradle

surge tank running two 044's.

Sounds like a have a super charger in the boot haha.

Z32 rear brakes:

Good to go except for needing longer brake lines,

will get some braided ones made up tomorrow.

Decided to sell the CST's off it, as they were abit to mexican on the front with S14 Lca's.

Brought some of these.

enkei_rpf1_silver.jpg

17x9 +22 front

17x10 +18 rear

Got em for a steal while in the usa last month, and got good coin for the cst's.

Also nice and light :)

Going to club circuit/hill climb it, not enough drift in vic, unless toff wants to organise a ceff skid meeting in Tas :P

Suspension re-vamp:

Changing back to my usual setup after driving it a few times, was running 10/8 combo with no swaybars.

Back to 8/6kg with large swaybars and decent coilovers, initially was thinking bilstein or ohlins, but the BC 'ER' series looking great for the price, when the inserts die, its a easy change to a better one.

r33 gtr wheels with 235 or 245 tyre R tyre should be enough.

Also looking at some sort of spoiler for the back for a bit of downforce.

some pics up soon.

wheels have 3mm more 'poke' than the previous CST's,

with the wider width, the 235's should stretch abit more giving less rolling diameter, thus a tiny bit more clearance.

I had another go at bashing the inner wheel wells out on the rear, f**king hard yakka.

Might grab the grinder and start chopping :whistling:

Braided brake lines made today, fancy as hell.

Also chris, specs of those G7's at your work today?

I came past, you were on a delivery.

Updates?

I lost the key for it haha.

Got tuned, 395rwkw, 20psi, on pump 98. makes 20 pounds at 4k rpm.

Limiter is only at 7200,

A twin/tripple plate, e85, 3.5 /4 inch exh and 10 more psi it should go close to 500rwkw, way way WAY beyond my driving abilities :)

Was going to run it down the strip this weekend at calder, but poo weather.

Leaving the coilovers in, but full slick and front runner combo.

Will most likely run a high 11 at 140ish mph haha.

Still need to fit oil cooler and change to r33 clutch fan and shroud setup.

My key is too worn away to make a spare :P

Cleaning up for street duties and club sprints/ motorkana's.

Things ive brought / done.

R33 clutch fan and shroud fitted.

Weathersheilds.

S1 taillights, thanks konnect!

worked out what materials I need to paint it, colour will be Heron White, straight from the commodore.

Got some special rego plates that end in "H"

Some stuff I would also like/need to do.

fit 3" cat and mufflers

Compliant cage with padding.

Airbox

get the windowns re-tinted, nice and darkkkkk

Find my damn wheel lock nut key...

Thats about it.

Will get some pics when its had its colour change

    • Consider a 35 too...
    • He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 😃
    • Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.
    • Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.
    • Correct. The ECU cannot read oil temp. (Well, I think it probably can in some situations. I did have the thought of potentially repinning the ECU when I was doing oil pressure). I am using this into the MPVI dongle, so that the MPVI dongle can read oil temperature. It is attached to a VDO gauge which is obviously calibrated to whatever curve the sender actually is using. This would be easy if I could setup a table of voltage to temperature like many sensors, but it appears I cannot do this and can only setup the transform rule which appears to be Input (voltage) x Multiplier, and add an offset. This to me means it MUST be linear. So it may be a complete waste of time wiring this into the ECU. The idea was that the MPVI3 has standalone logging. I wanted to use this instead of a laptop with serial cable (for wideband) for long datalogs. Given the wideband also has electric interference, I may never trust this either in a world where the serial wideband and the analog output wideband do not agree. Last time I did a trace I could see the two wideband traces follow each other, but one was a little leaner than the other. I plan on playing with voltage offsets and actually driving the thing to see how close they correlate. If they never correlate... then, well, maybe I'll never use either. Ideally I'd like to have the Analog wideband read ever so slightly leaner than the serial one, because the serial one is 'correct'. Tuning the car to be ever so slightly too-rich would be the aim. Not needing to have a laptop flying around in the footwell connected with cables is... an advantage. About the only one from the forced upgrade to MPVI3.
