Hi guys havent been on in ages... havent had access to a pc been using my iphone but only going as far as uploading to facebook to get my pics since the site doesnt have the ability to upload pics via mobile...

Well ive come a long way since my last post ill give a quick rundown on whats happend thus far.

My racepace built sump arrived and was a work of art ! loved every bit of it, the sum was installed btw was a prick of a job :D

turbo / hot side was complete with all factory lines running thanks to the NITTO head oil drain which i was glad to be the 1st public owner! and it does wonders for people trying to maintain factory lines.

Recoed my alternator only reason was it looked like shit on the motor so i decided to sandblast and paint the housings but everything fell out (never pulled one appart) so i decided to replace bearings etc and it turned out amazing !

the intake side consisted of drilling holes on the intake runner for the D-jetro using all the tomei gaskets supplied... recoing the AAC unit and replacing every worn out hose with silicone ones also using awesome hoseclamps that dont tare into the silicone

Cam covers turned out sexy as with the decision to go polished manifested in my head thanks to my dads gorgeous jaguar engine bay i was then convinced i had to !

The oil filter housing / cooler / heat exchanger needed a new oring which was not supplied i had to find one at work that worked LOL but its all good fits perfectly i wish i had the cash to get a oil relocation / cooler now....!

im at the point now where i have the entire fuel system minus injectors... but i am not going to install the system as i wont be able to chek for leaks / problems by running the car if i install it... the d-jetro will want to learn idle.. there for i am not installing the ecu just yet...

as i cant let my new baby idle..

standard ecu / injectors will be installed ( injectors got tested for $165 and i will sell the injectors for $250 later on after initial run / test is achieved) . after testing is done ill install my fuel system and tow to my tuner ( trent @ status ) to see what she can do :)

now all thats left is time... and some front drive shaft boots and were getting there :D

Pics below .

Hi guys,

Im happy to let you all know that the install and first start / run was a success everything worked out well, as my first rebuild i think i did a decent job on it and learned a shit load!

at the moment the cars running but we have issues and i suspect its the fuel delivery but also can be something to do with electronics, whats happening is ...

cylinders 3 / 4 are not firing spark has been checked and is working to both 3 and 4... and using noid lights injector cables were tested and seem ok...

igniter and ecu were also swaped and checked all seem ok...

i took it to a trusted mechanic / specialist on gtr/s and they also swapped over injectors to see if they fault in other cylinders but it just seems to be only 3 and 4.....

diagnosis will continue on the 24th of this month as hes away overseas for business...

to add we did a comp test to make sure it was not something i installed wrong or fkd up... all cylinders have 160 psi ( without being run in yet)

at the moment im really happy the cars running and ok mechanically and small issues can be fixed

to be honest im really proud of myself and i need to thank sau for providing alot of the info i needed for the build and the books i spend like 200 bux on lol!

ill upload dyno results when i get it on there and all issues are attended to...

Just a small list of the shit that got done prior to the drop in...

drive shafts were re booted, nismo mounts installed etc p/s hoses replaced whole engine bay got cleaned / polished best as possible .

Had to stick with my twin plate clutch which isent to bad atm works great may invest in nismo cylinder and clutch line to make it better..

waiting on R34 gtr center badge for valley cover and new twin turbo logo as i sprayed the inlet pipes black .... went for a neat look ..

running 15w40 Penrite running in oil (mineral based) took 9 litres engine ran / warmed up and did a quick oil and filter change after like 10 mins running atm running another sump full of running in oil ..for the next 1000klm

any tips on running the bastard in would be great im planing on just keeping revs varying and taking it on the freeway to do that... is 1000klm enough i also herd more like 5000klm.... but i dont wana run the oil for that long...

anyway pics below ill post up new info when cars ready for dynoing

oh oh! i got my injectors btw :D id1000s :) (not bosch )

and scored some 2nd hand cusco coilovers !

    • Ill stick with my black Friday sale pirellis.  They were the factory option and a damn good price when on sale.
    • Hi Tao. My dump was ground out to provide clearance over the used swing arc. But when the clip fell off, the flap was free to travel too far. Got stuck. That's all. There's decent preload too. You may remember that I asked for a low pressure actuator because I wasn't able to tune the car immediately, and a proper actuator probably would have left the car undriveable. Or at least barely safely driveable. But it hasn't been an obvious problem in terms of the gate blowing open under normal use. Well, maybe it has. The turbo is quite laggy compared to stock - so an actuator upgrade will be done first after the supporting mods are done and it's dyno'd to stop it pinging. Hopefully the gate has actually been lifting early. If it has, it has been necessary for me anyway, because as I said earlier in this thread, I had to back off the ramp allowed by the boost controller, to stop it pinging. I might have been in a bit of trouble if it hadn't been as slow to build boost as I have found it. In fact - given that I will get it onto the dyno soonish - I think I'll order an actuator from you pretty soon, so we've got it there if it is clear that there's no point continuing to try tuning with the low pressure one.
    • I've always wondered why my brothers BMW is louder in Eco mode. Do they have e-gates from factory?
    • Drift car i can drive to the track and then drive home a nice cruise, also a nice summer daily driver when it's not raining due to no hvac in the car
