Gtt034 - The Second Time Around...

[Frosty]

say with a PAR gearset or something.

stay away from these unless you want trouble

[Mitchee]

Frosty, good to know, thanks. Never really had much to do with gearboxes and stuff, ill definitely do some research.

I had a few hours this arvo so I got stuck into some more fiddly shit...

Cleaned up the radiator brackets and replaced the rubber mounts with some suspension bushes I had lying around. Work great and now the radiator wont flop around like it used to... Koyo fits nice and neat too.

Made up some alloy brackets to mount the oil cooler. I put it here as the lines are premade and are slightly too lengthy. May remake the lines down the track but for now this will do OK. Also replaced the intercooler with a new unit as the old one was getting on and the fins were full of rocks and bugs. Its just a generic 100mm one, nothing special but the last one held up fine and for $205 you cant complain!

Had a couple of hours today to dick around with the coilpacks..

Grabbed some old boots of some stock RB coilpacks and found they fit nicely over my LS2 truck coilpacks I have. Standard these are a 'Coil Near Plug' which means they are designed to have a small lead from pack to plug. With the contact spring pulled from the RB coilpacks, stretched slightly, they fit perfectly over the electrode in the LS2 coil so I can run these on the plugs. The contact spring compresses about 5mm once the coilpack is in place on top of the plug. Should work OK. I wrapped some electrical tape around them just to keep them in place and give it a bit of strength.

Heres how they sit.

And some brackets I made up which will hold them all firmly in place, just need to pick up some more nuts and bolts.

Also received notification today that my Tomei Procams and Supertech stuff is on its way from the states. Stoked!!

Mitch,

Great to see GTT-034 being looked after and in the process of being rebuilt, will be awesome to see it back on the road. I recall the day Stan first Dyno'd it after having just bought it, the look on his face said everything and off you guys went on the journey to get it to where it is today. Looks like since it changed hands it continued to go through a lot of changes and being built up.

Good luck with it and look forward it back up and running.

Cheers Links. I mentioned that day to Stan, he gave a chuckle and a grin. Good memories.

Not much to report lately, Tomei cams and my Supertech kit came from Raw Brokerage today. Good timing as I had my work car loaded up to drop all the engine bits to my engine builder for assembly. Cams are Procam 260's 10.8, and the Supertech stuff is the TS1015 kit with guides, retainers, seats, dual springs, +1mm OS in/ex valves and seals. Should help the 26 head breathe with some port work too. I kept to a mild duration to keep the midrange strong as I wont be revving the 3.4 too hard.

My engine block was at my machinist fresh from being dipped and cleaned, tested and ready for mods. Starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Forgot to grab a pic, bugger.

Trying to get my head around the wiring of the Haltech PS2000 as i have a full loom for it. Unfortunately not plug and play, but I was prepared for this and I have a good grasp on auto electrics thankfully. Had to manually create a pinout of the R34's 'M63/F3/Bodyloom' plug, some pins I wasnt able to work out so ill be making a visit to Terry34gtr this weekend who has kindly offered to let me copy down some of the diagrams in his Nissan R34 wiring schematics book. <3 SAU community.

Ricky is a top bloke!

Thread delivers mate, thought i'd pop in and see how this car was going as i hadn't heard anything for years now. Nice spin on the old lady.

[Mitchee]

Cheers Howie.

Not much progress lately. I've run the fuel lines, im going to redo the main tank to surge tank lines in teflon now that i found some parts to do it correctly.

Block has been to Duncan Foster at Moorebank and had all the machine work done, just waiting for my engine builder to put the damn thing together.

[timmy_89]

nice build cant wait to see how it ends up

[Mitchee]

Ive neglected this thread with updates! So heres some pics of where im at!

First things first - still no progress on the engine. Engine builder just hasnt had any time to get to it yet..

Surge tank and fuel lines are complete... I milled off the stock spring clip fittings on the fuel tank 'lid', and fitted some 6AN bulkheads, so ive got teflon right out of the tank..

And the surge tank all done.. Fuel lines are all protected since this pic was taken..

Haltech flex sensor which will give me a reading of Ethanol content in the fuel..

Some engine bits

And the twin feed/single return teflon under the car...

Laying out the Haltech loom.. everything labelled and ready to go in..

Haltech Dash! As i now have no aftermarket gauges in the car at all, i wanted something non intrusive that I could use to pull data from the Haltech.. This seemed the perfect solution!

And mounted in its new home.. Points directly at the driver... Dont want to see it anymore? Shut the glovebox.. Theres still enough room in the glovebox for CD's and stuff too

Haltech Wideband to go in also..

Hmm whats this?

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.. 4 months from japland to me.. Full 4" HKS Racing Ti ...

Thats all I have for now.. Theres a few little other things ive done not worth mentioning but im quickly running out of things I can do without a motor in the bay..

[timmy_89]

great build.

full of awesomeness, definitely subscribed.

[34GeeTeeTee]

Woah..... Super loud exhaust?

[34GTV]

sooooo loud

[timmy_89]

Any new updates?

[34GeeTeeTee]

Any new updates?

You bored Timmy? But yeah also keen on updates hehe

[Mitchee]

Not much to update on. Engine builder is still dragging it out unfortunately.

Found the innards of my n1 oil pump which I was going to fit billet gears to was destroyed after its ingested something solid, so I bought a Tomei to replace it. Ill sell the billet gears to recoup some funds..

Fitted the HEL braided brake lines all around and braided clutch line. Nice and simple.

I've ordered some bits from GKtech, mainly extended wheel studs and nuts, and one of their fancy fans with adaptor for RBs.

Quickly running out of things to do haha... Need the engine!!!!!

[Reese69]

whats the haltech dash doing in the glove box.. needs to be out on full view lol

awsome build..

personally my dash has replace my stock dash right in front..

[Mitchee]

Okayyy update time!

I've been super busy as I left my job in IT. I now work for Haltech so I've been focussing on settling in there for the last month or so. Such a cool place to work, but I digress.

Today a trip was made to my engine builder to pick up all my bits! Pretty happy that some more progress can be made from this point.

The bottom end, super pretty with the CP flat tops.

Here's an example of the mods needed for the stroker to fit.

And fit it does! Only just.

My head, specs are earlier in the thread.

Porting on the Intake side we left pretty stock, but the bowls and short turn were smoothed and blended. Exhaust side was ported slightly, blended through the throats and bowls opened up.

[Mitchee]

Couple of minor updates..

Stroker crank and bits..

Fitting up pumps and things.. Had to 'clearance' the 30 block for the Tomei pump..

Head on..

New exhaust studs and a dummy fit of the 6boost and HKS gears..

[NYTSKY]

Mad. Will rip!

Love the small detail work.
