Yep, pics in my build thread

http://www.skylinesa...project-gr33dd/

1st page in the first post after my little story. I dont have a link for the uas site but I'm pretty sure they are on there, I was actually there for something else but I'm kind of like a bower bird and like shiny stuff.......hahaha

Bower bird? :rofl2:

Thanks for the link mate... Ill google them and see what i can find...

he he black goodness in the engine bay........ :P

Once you go black..... you never go back!!! :w00t:

The whole aim is to have it looking as stealth as possible with a high mount turbo... My old high flow setup looked stock and it never got me in trouble with the cops, but i figured if it all looks neat and stockish (Due to it all being plain black) then they may be less inclined to harass me, plus if i put to many shiny parts on it i may attract Bower Birds AKA DAVE074 :rofl:

As soon as the cam covers and fuel rail return ill post pics (Thanks to Craved Coatings!!!)

Hahahaha >_<

Its a STEALTH build man!!!

But i just opened the cam covers that just returned from Craved and they are PUUUURFECT!!! They match the plazmaman kit exactly..... VERY happy with the powder coating :thanks:

awesome news mate - wasnt sure if the plenum was a bit more matte from that pick up there lol

Ill get a pick of them as soon as i can... You'll certainly have more parts coming your way soon Chris :cheers:

Dave074 i thought you lost interest? :nyaanyaa:

Nah I'll still be reading your thread dude, although I should really update mine

Maybe I'll change my whole colour scheme to black too........Chris will be very impressed if I bring everything back for blackness haha

Hey guys, I didn't have a camera so i used my shitty phone for now -

What i gave Chris to work with -

Although hard to see in the pics, the colour matches the Plazmaman gear REALLY well -

Highly recommend Craved Coatings and will be using again for sure!!! :thanks:

Nice, hey what are going to do about your pcv valve? Block it off or plumb it into the plazmaman?

I could be wrong but I don't think there is enough fitting for all the vacuum/boost lines and the pcv?

I'll have a better look at mine tonight.

Really?? I don't think mine has it?

I'll send you a pic of the underside of my plazmaman tonight when I get home, pretty sure I only have the 4 little nipples for the vacuum lines etc and the bigger one at the rear for the aac thingy.

I could be wrong though.

My standard one was blocked at the plenum but "looked" connected so I am gonna do the same thing again just to keep it looking legalish. You mat have a small welding job as well then

Hey champ, i emailed Alex @ Plazmaman and this was the reply -

There is a big ¼ port on the underside for this , but I recommend that you run it into a breather canister if you have a serious setup.

So hopefully that helps....

Yeh I think I worked it out, I'm a numpty :(

Sorry for the thread hijack GeeTeeTee

Haha all good, interesting to learn from others builds... Every bit of info helps as this is all new to me...

The 34 is on hold temporarily as the rain decided it wanted to flood the new shed so i spent the weekend digging 20m of Ag Pipe in and placing 1.5tonne of gravel around it.... Try flood it now!!!! :spank:

Has anyone fitted a Plazmaman pro series intercooler and had to change the A/C fan? I have to ditch the old setup and go with a thinner fan like a Davies Craig or something, if i can be lazy and copy someone it would be much easier than having to measure myself..... LOL

Cheers

Matt

Turns out my plazmaman dosent have the hole for the pcv, no wonder I couldn't work it out!

I'm just gonna tap in a dummy line so it looks connected I think.

Or I might just not bother, the build is taking tooooooo loooooooong

    • From what I understand, stock internals should hold out for a while even if you run 500 at the crank, no? Especially if you don't run a modern turbo setup that reaches power and torque much earlier than the original twins. My engine isn't unopened either, it has N1 Pumps, head oil restrictor, new crank and cams, new piston rings, ARP head studs and Cometic headgasket along with 2860-5s. Considering everything is healthy this should run fine for a while I assume. Once my engine stops leaking shit everywhere, it'll be tuned to 370 crank first anyway, because I need to legalize the turbo setup. If I end up needing a new engine because my block actually has an issue, even though GTSboy was adamant that the whole porous block story is nonsense, before putting an engine in I'm probably gonna take care of the weakspots.
    • Hah, I have no issues with what you are doing whatsoever! You clearly know what you are getting yourself into. It's just funny reading things like this. "What's that noise?" "Oh, that's normal. That's just the engine not getting any oil. Nothing to worry about. It'll go away in a moment"  
    • Yeah I'm keeping an eye on it and might take it out as a once off if this doesn't fully charge. I did some research that said it's normal in equalisation charging. Voltage I thought was 20+ (faulty battery in multimeter) but now its on 15.9v, the max it should go to is 16.2v as per the manual. I'll provide an update once hopefully it's actually fully charged and in float mode. Waiting for it to go to 16.2v and not higher and see what happens. What I suspect has happened is that even though it's not an old battery, I did leave the car turned off for almost 4 weeks at one point then left it off for another 2 weeks which might have erroded the battery and is taking a long time to do this equlisation charge.
    • I wouldn't be using the seats a lot since it's on Historic rego and will not be driven a lot, however I also don't want to fork out 3k for something that won't last. Havent looked at BRZ seats, aiming for something of the same era I did speak to him on the phone once, and I do see your point haha. How many kms do you think you drove before they started wearing out? Just had a look at yours, certainly looking for a reclinable version. The Brides don't look too bad! I would still like to sit in one just to make sure it's what I'm after.    Thanks for the replies fellas. 
    • I bought my Bride reps from Crank Motorsport. He is, um, a trifle disorganised. I would have to look back at the e-mails to make sure I got it right, but I think he sent me normal fabric ones when I ordered the "Alcantara" ones. So he had to pay for shipping 3x and I'm sure that f**ked him off big time. And asking technical questions where nuanced English is required is a no go. It's simple English only. And....should I have bought the Alcantara ones? Well, as it turns out, they are great, feel great, etc, but the fabris wore through on the point of the waist bolster in <2 years. Must have caught a rip from a rivet on jeans or shorts, or something like that. So now I have to patch it somehow. A bit shit. My fault, ultimately, because it is Chinesium Faux Alcantara, not the real thing, and it turns ot that it has the tear resistance of a soggy tissue. But the seats and the reails are great. I probably should have gotten the R34 style ones, and now that they price is up in that ridiculous sort of number, I could have sold them for a profit!
