Intake side all bolted up and throttle stops adjusted.. what a mission!

Also installed some extended studs up the back and replaced a dodgy wheel bearing I discovered..

I'll also be replacing my Tein's with Nismo struts and springs I picked up.. Should give a nice compliant ride and help with grip..

Chucked the flywheel, clutch and box on the engine and dropped it into the car..

And mounted my exhaust ready for a dump pipe to be made up..

I also hooked up my fuel system and completed all the fitment of my fuel lines... did a pressure test up to 100psi and no leaks :D super happy. Not long to go now, just need tyres, cooler piping, a dump pipe and some sensors and we'll be golden.

Happy to say she fired up 2nd hit of the starter :) Sounds nice and tight. Car is off to get the dump pipe made up then its straight to work and onto the dyno for a light tune.

Im now running a Haltech R34 GTT Pro Plugin ECU which is due to be released to the public in the coming months. :) Along with Haltech's new CAN Wideband O2 box which will be released at the same time. Very cool stuff.

This was turn-key off an RB26 base map set at 3350cc capacity, flex fuel compensation enabled and injector flow rate at 2200cc. Not bad at all :D

It was dumping from a 90 degree 4" elbow i just clamped to the back of the turbo :D Car is having a dump fabbed on Tuesday.

Dave, ill be sharing the tuning duties with Scott. I'll most likely attempt most of it with his guidance, then let Scott work his magic in the high load parts until I've got some more experience under my belt. :)

    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
    • I have seen enough fire and brimstone from TSBs about roloc disks causing spun bearings that foreign object contamination is top of mind for me. For sufficiently large particles you might be right but usually it’s a distribution of debris and some of the larger particles can also break down and shed bits. If local shops report RTV contamination in a turbo is enough to wreck them I’m taking zero chances if I can help it.
