Ausgarage Meet And Trade Expo Brisbane 21St Of October


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

Not sure if any of you are going to the AusGarage Meet and Trade Expo but if you are or maybe thinking about it I'm going to be taking my car out there to do some promotional work for the people who helped with some of the work I've done recently. I'm just about done now with almost everything in the car brand new. I even had the chrome moulds all around the car replaced by Nissan then colour coded everything on the body which is still retaining it's stock 260RS bodykit.

The photos are a few weeks old now and without the motor in the car so it's sitting a little high but thought I'd share a preview of how it's coming along. It's in at the workshop atm getting a flex tune for E85/Pulp. The most recent mods included manifolds extrude honed and port matched, HKS 2530's port matched and HPC Turbo ceramic coatings on manifolds and turbos. Tomei dump pipes and custom front pipe with twin 3" to 3.5" out which matches up the dumps 3" to the kakimoto 3.5" out. I've added a walbro 400lph in tank fuel pump and Injector Dynamics ID2000's and have also added the Nismo Plenum to the existing HKS Type R intercooler and piping kit. I also went with a Hybrid Greddy intake system and still used part of an existing HKS Racing suction kit to connect to the filters.

I can't wait to get my car back, it's been nearly 3 years since I started working on this car and these final pieces should just about do it for me. I'm hoping to get around 450kw atw on E85 and with my built motor and worked head... I hope these last remaining mods will get me close to my goal.

The event is on the 21st of October 2:30 – 7:00pm at Rocklea market in Rocklea. (Brisbane QLD).

    • Welcome.  Glad to hear that you have gained some knowledge that has helped you. I believe the only fix for the power steer belt is an electric conversion with a Holden astra pump. If you get a chance, post pics of your car, please. 🙂
    • Just ordered those bosses, hopefully that does the trick thank you very much everyone for your replies it's really appreciated  
    • to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?  
    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
