Thanks eric.

Not sure why you think my current radiator is going to blow up? I even got it pressure tested it yesterday and they said its perfect.

I have never had over heating issues either even with that fat 100mm intercooler in the way!

I don't think it will blow up - It's just every track day I got to, I see atleast one or two radiators (non aluminum) give out. More of a safe guard than anything to protect your efforts. Like I said earlier the car is great props.

well she got tuned today and made 398.3hp at all 4 hubs! very happy with it, especially since it was such a hot day today, the midrange has improved alot and the off boost driving is much smoother now, doesnt feel lazy under 3000rpm anymore!

Max torque is now 1000rpm later in the rev range and has increased to 480nm which is what i was aiming for. Max power is slightly shifted later aswell but only by a few hundred rpm. A pair of poncams would help but im going to stick with the stock cams till i have the dosh to get some angry cams in there, most probably when the motor decides to call it a day.

Adjusting the intake cam gear both ways didnt seem to help, it seemed to like it most at 0 but the exhaust got retarded by 2degrees and gained a tiny bit more up top.

Boost comes on at 1.3bar but bleeds down to 1.2bar where it makes max power.

all i can say it well done and i very much enjoyed reading this thread, its easily got some of the sexiest+toughest midnight 33R's ive seen thus far. im very jealous having to stick with my gts-t due to my pathetic excuse of an apprentice income. :ermm:

Looking Good Snozzle. Keep your thread going as long as you can, because you most likely will continue with some mods, just like I have done & still going. It becomes a little addictive after a while. :yes:

You've put in some real effort into it.

I am running the Nismo AFM's with the stock airbox & snorkel & don't have any boost/spike problems.

I decided on the standard air box - mostly due to some of the cops here in Melbourne, VIC. :thumbsup:

However I am interested in putting a ARC Box in, some time in the future. I think that should be fine, as Victorian Cops like to see boxes, rather than pods.

I got some carbon fibre parts (Front grill, N1 bonnet lip, N1 Front Bar Slots & Nismo Pillar Garnish) in the mail last week & also got my Tomei S/S Dumps.

Only have to get the Tomei Extreme Manifold Kit, Split Fire Coils & HKS Cam Gears now.

Once I have put everything on & have painted my engine covers, I will post some pics.

Cheers

cant wait to see some pics ;)

Thanks man. Yeah i definitely want to run a catch can even if i dont really do any track work but i cant seem to find any good catch tanks that will still retain my windscreen washer bottle.

Ive seen one that looks MINT on another gtr but i cant remember whos it was, it was chrome and had GTR embossed on it which was also polished.

Do you know where i could get a decent catch can setup that will actually work ? Ive kind of left the catch can thing to last as i want to do it once but properly as alot of the setups dont seem to be very effective...

Top secret make one, you can get em from rhdjapan. or just jap make one also

that one youre thinking of though would be a RIPS custom jobby http://www.ripsltd.com/products.html (scroll down to the bottom)

I got Rips in NZ to make mine up..Not cheap but I still earn Japanese yen and got it made up when the Oz & NZ dollars were worth pesos during the GFC.

Marcuscatchtankfinished002.jpg

Yes! thats the exact one im after. Would these cost more than 500 bucks to get made up?

Im going to look into locally fabricating something like this, cheers Mark!

edit: sorry pete, i just realised u posted the link to the same thing already haha

Err these through RIPS are not cheap.

Quality of workmanship is exceptional !!

Like I said I took advantage of exchange rates during the GFC so ended up getting it a good price.

Flick Rob an email for a price.

Hi,

We do them slightly different to that now as we use weld on fittings to take braided or push lock hoses and they have different mounting tags but they are basicly the same (see pictures)

Exactly as it is in the pictures I can do for nzd795 incl shipping, if you want the GTR logo and polish add225.

Regards Rob

I think a JJR one for $249 will do just fine lol

ive asked justjap for some more photos of the item, if it looks neat ill end up buying this but using higher quality hose/fittings etc

    • 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?
