Ok, I haven't posted for a while as I was having trouble embedding photos.

I've had some ups and downs of late.  I was nearly ready to bolt the k frame to the car when I discovered my sump adapter blocked the rear dipstick hole....

So engine out, sump off and I drilled out the bush that blocks the front dipstick hole.  I made a little adapter to lock the dipstick in as it was a bit loose.

So repeated the whole process again and finally bolted it back into the car-

I ended up getting a clutch booster delete from Garage 101.  Very nice piece of billet aluminium that brings the clutch master back a fair way-

It's still EXTREMELY close to hitting my inlet but it should be ok!  If I decide to try to engineer it I might be in trouble though (10mm rule)-

So as of today I've mounted the ECU and run the wiring into the cabin, I'm now in the process of running the wiring through the engine bay and terminating it at the sensors/connectors.

In some ways I'm so close and yet I'm still so far away from completion!

Wiring-

I bought myself an el cheapo Ching Long Lie AC/DC TIG welder so I can do some stainless and alloy wleding.  I've had a bit of a practice to start to get the hang of how it works.  It's a lot harder than MIG welding but I think I'll get the hang of it after a bit (ie a shitload!) more practice.  Just getting the hang of heat control at the moment-

ECU-

Now E don't CU-

"She's all factory ociffer......" cue drunken slur.

I decided to mount the ECU now and properly or it'll end up banging around on the floor for all time. Fits nicely behind the kick panel. To be honest I wasn't expecting it to!

 

 

 

 

 

Are you able to do me a favour and measure the length of the whole clutch master assembly? Trying to work out if it will work with my Plazmaman plenum and 30 block in a 34.

 

Appreciate it!

I am sure it was! Really appreciate it though thank you very much.

Too easy.

 

Pretty much finished off wiring up the top of the engine last night-

Just MAP sensor, cam and crank triggers to do from the top then the fiddly crap under the intake manifold is next.  Fitting the wideband oxy sensors to the front pipes will be fun too....  At least now having the TIG I can weld on the bungs myself once I get a bit more practice.

LOL looks like Danny @ 101 copied the booster delete @Sub Boy32 made for me when he installed it all those years ago. 

[Cough] Ripoff [Cough] 

However mine uses a different Nissan clutch master that fits better and has more room away from a large plenum like the Greddy one.

Missed opportunity maybe?  You might have sold a few by now if it was a few years ago!

I laughed a little harder at this than i probably should of.

love the workshop

I'm glad at least one person got something out of it!

Yeah I'm pretty fortunate to have such a good shed and a great wife that doesn't ask "Where did that come from?" or "How much did that cost?" every time she comes in the shed!

Thankfully she doesn't visit too often.....

Not missed, sold about 30 of them all over the world......

I looked everywhere for one (apart from a UK Skyline site obviously!) but could only find the one I bought. Credit goes to you for the concept then, thanks for designing it!

Haha! No dramas

Are you still selling them? I'm trying to fit a Plazmaman plenum and 30 bottom end into my 34 gtr and I am worried the Garage 101 setup still won't clear...

Yes I'm still selling them,

Wiring is almost finished.  Just need to wire direct power to the ECU (using the wiring harness to connect directly to the battery as opposed to patching into the car.  Just reduces the likelihood of any issues and makes chasing power issues easier too) and wire in the AEM ignition module.  

Mounted the pressure reg and ethanol sensor and made up hoses to suit.  I'm also running a fuel pressure sensor as well so I can use that as a failsafe to cut power if I lose pressure for any reason-

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
