R34 Gtt Daily Build(For Now)

[owenliberts]

So few people have told me to put it up so here it is!

got the car a few months back with the usual, shitty 3" system, blitz turn flow, manual boost bleeder and POD.

drove it for a few months and was reasonably happy but....meh, could be better, i wanted to build something with a decent amount of low end and the boost to come on as soon as possible with room to improve in the future.

So the ordering of parts began!

044 and 1000cc bosch ev14s

gcg oil and water line kit

gt3076r .86 twin scroll rear, 6boost mani, 40mm turbosmart gates

Plazmaman intake mani, throttle body, BOV

NPC sprung centre button

[owenliberts]

didn't realise this had been approved, but ill try and fill in what has happened since

[34GeeTeeTee]

Hope your clutch holds up mate what is the clamp load on it?

[owenliberts]

so drove it into my mates workshop and began to strip down the car

as it came in

pulled all this junk off

trial fitted manifold

found the mani interfered with the a/c line, could be bothered sending the manifold back to QLD to be fixed, so i made up a new a/c line instead

fitted turbo and manifold, new studs and gaskets (got a bit excited seeing it mounted up), after this i made up the oil and water lines for the turbo with a gig kit(push lock fittings are shit)

fitted up plazmaman plenum, rerouted vacuum and coolant lines, extended and shortened some wiring

sold this

and this

had dumps made up by scotty(sick work)

cat and rest of the system and rear muffler Hooker aero chamber

fitted up new clutch from npc, hopefully it lasts

bolted to the standard flywheel

[Hanaldo]

Ohhhhhhhh how I envy your hot side

Looking tops mate!

[owenliberts]

also had scotty make up part of the intercooler piping and the turbo intake pipe

fitted the battery to the boot

intalled a link G4 plug in

fitted link MAP sensor(top centre of pic) and MAC solenoid(on top of abs module) to control boost via the link instead of a separate boost controller

once this was all done it was off to see trent at chequered tuning where everything went well and nothing i had assembled fell off or caught fire

[34GeeTeeTee]

SO responsive

[owenliberts]

then along came this present to myself

sensor mounted down on the rail, on the return side of the fuel rail

which resulted in this

[ssxRicho]

I really like this car. Such a good setup.

[blah_blah]

Nice Owen!

What have you done about your wheels rubbing against the wiring under the guard?

Found out on the weekend mine was rubbing against the plastic loom too and now has a hole in it.

Had to raise the car up a bit, could relocate it to the engine bay but don't know if i cbf

[owenliberts]

I've raised mine a bit, as it was lower then i wanted anyway. i'll have a look when i get a chance, if its not too hard i might relocate the loom, but really don't want too

[owenliberts]

more presents

[blah_blah]

New diff? What sort?

Tell us how it goes once you put it on!

[owenliberts]

it was in at winton, goes good, bit clunky, hopefully it continues to smooth out a bit more, but good solid locking. its a nismo 1.5way

[msports180]

My looms rubbed through the conduit and just started on the wires

How do you find the 1.5 way with daily driving? Grabby and clunky at slow speeds?

Mines not a daily only a toy and just thinking of shimming the LSD farking tight again as most good LSD's ive seen are just as harsh when driving slowly.

[34GeeTeeTee]

Hey Owen, I am running the same diff and it's nice and quiet after a bit of driving... It binds in carparks but generally it's quiet... I initially thought it was shit as it was loud etc but then found out my coilovers were to blame and the diff is sweet

[owenliberts]

Yeah I don't mind it, just sick of people asking about it.

Lol.

It will free up. They are very bitey when new.

Takes a little bit to get used to the lockup and slight push into the corner.

[owenliberts]

So its been ages since i've updated this, probably cos i've done nothing and am always working.

Anyway, 2nd was shagged in the gearbox so i pulled it out to rebuild it, ordered everything from Nissan japan, through jesse streeter and it cost about half of what it would have from a local nissan dealer.

For everyone who has wanted to rebuild there box but has been too scared to because of all the posts saying you need special tools blah, blah, blah, I say just do it.

I used a workshop press a bearing puller kit and a hammer and made some (really basic) parts for the puller.

anyway here are some pics (everyone loves pics)

tools used

My mad puller attachments

[owenliberts]

so anyway, got my bearings and seals from ATC and got a full set of synchro's and 2nd gear, shift sleeve and shift fork from japan!

cases off

shift forks off

my mad puller setup

a scary pile of parts

then all back together yay(about a month later, cos waiting on parts)
