Hey guys, just finished my r31 rb20det conversion. 90% complete just needs the rear bar replaced and the bonnet dropped down bout 2cm. besides that its all done. finished the fmic yesterday took 14 hours to mount and pipe it. good thing bout it all, the whole job fmic conversion and all was done in the back yard, so here some pics, tell me what you think, honesty appreciated

The Front mount and all piping came from The Intercooler Guy, and its bloody good, its a r32 fmic kit and it fit straight onto my r31 with almost no mods at all, so if there is any r31 guys out there, check him out hes been the best bloke by far for this stuff. by the time the air gets thru the cooler its bloody cold. made my car run sweet

Nice R31.  :aroused:  

Does it feel alot different to the RB30E?

yeah feels sooooo good compared to the rb30, not as much lower end but from 3 grand up about 30 times the fun hehe, couldnt lay a 10m long black line on the road starting at 50kmhr with the rb30

No the kit wasnt custom made, just order the r32 kit it fits sweeeeet!!!

like no noticeble lag on this cooler either AND not a single bit of pressure drop, holds 11psi perfect the whole rev range

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
