Clutch is back – looks brand new. Clamping force has gone from~2400 to 3900. Should be now up to the task of anything this new motor can produce.

Some more parts have started to arrive – Samco hoses for the intercooler pipes and new ducting for the front brake cooling ducts from the front bar.

New rear diffuser brackets. I will get photos of before and after for installation.

The ducting is a standard SAMCO product. Williams Race Services is the aussie dealer ('Mike' helped me out with my stuff):

Wind-up of clamp load and resurfing of the puks & flywheel. Everything was in pretty good order.

Sweet! Unlike mine that went up for a rebuild and came back totally replaced :laugh:

Have you got pics of the plates etc? Just out of interest :)

Coatings done – Sickkkkkkk!!!!

Hot side should be installed on the motor today or tomorrow.

I also recently invested in some 2200cc EV14 injectors (thanks DVS-JEZ for the awesome price) with the intention of eventually converting the car to flex-fuel. I was in Perth last week and found that it is currently illegal for the servo’s to sell E85 from the bowser. So E85 plans have been put on hold.

It didn’t really surprise me that much that they didn’t have bowser E85 TBH - they only got shell v-power a year or two back. The WA (or Wait Awhile) government always seems to be a few years behind picking things up from the rest of Australia.

Holy sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Looks smick :woot: AND its black :ph34r:

Damn WA, just stay in Newy and Cruise ;)

You can't have the monopoly on the black themed engine bay!!!

Gearbox has also been picked up so everything is ready to go in. Should be installed and running by end of next week, just in time for shipping to Perth.

Piggaz - Paul didn’t do that intake mod you sent through due to time restraints. Next time i add some mods that require a new tune, i'll do it then.

Cheers,

Joel

    • This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone
    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
