I just got mine back... Still haven't used it yet. :P

I've got 15 cylinders to check.

After Friday I'll have a whole month of Freedom to play Broom Brooms. :D

I have borrowed it from a friend but i have used it a few times and its pretty good. Did you need to use one?

I was thinking I might have a check at some stage if it isnt to much trouble?

what have you done to your r31 wagons. Did you fit those extractors? What fuel you use in it; should run 15deg if running 91RON 18deg if running 95 and 20deg if running 98. I had a ka24 tb on mine too and port matched it bolt on and same tps. I have a soft spot for the dirty 30's

Extractors I have not received yet.

Timing still unchecked.

Fuel is 91.

But fuel pump is now R33 GTS-t.

Changes I have made so far...

K&N Pod - Jeremy's old one

Spark plugs - 2nd hand.

Shocks - New

Front springs - 2nd hand

Front Swaybar - 2nd hand

Wheels + Tyres - 2nd hand

Wiper Blades - 2nd hand

Fuel pump - 2nd hand

Budget Beast. :D

My U13 Blueby's were KA24de's hmmmm... More air you reckon? Apparently (from my researchings :P) a certain Falcon TB is commonly used too.

Yeah falcon one used but you need to rewire tps. But thats only an issue if its an issue for you. If you do change be sure to port match tb to upper intake manifold. Revs out cleaner and doesn't choke up top. My old r31..

Really at this stage I just want to make it roadworthy, smooth running, reliable and safe so I can transfer rego into my name.

Extractors are a combo of upgrade and fixing an exhaust leak.

It seems that changing the SkyWagon's Fuel Pump did NOT fix the intermittent starting issues...

When you turn the key the Pump doesn't always Prime. Mostly yes but sometimes no. (old pump/new pump, no difference)

Thinking a relay but research :P tells me there is no fuel pump relay. Fuse is fine but I changed it anyway. Hmmmm...

Also, I just checked the timing, it was already on 200 so I put it back to 150 as it's running on 91.

(there is some evidence of a non standard previous life). :yes:

Earthing issue somewhere?

Did a few more things under the bonnet.... Waiting on the final touches and will post pics. Looks SOOO much better,

I pulled my rocker cover breather, and the fun part is i cant push them back in have to wait till i get my adopters.

Bought some -10 adopter and the guy asked me for which engine was it for, Rb25 series 1 or series 2

I didnt knew that the series 2 had a little bit bigger hole 16mm which i found out from him.

I do have a S1 but it has a different rocker cover in it, a polished one and i have no idea if its a S1 or S2 :(

I pulled mine off when I was polishing my rocker covers and it split right down one side....

I got it all sorted out.its actually so easy, just did it now. compared it with my old one and also found out that the polished rocker cover is a S2 because the breathers wont fit in my old rocker cover and the old one is loose on the polished one :)

Also did you split the one that was on the oil cap side, if thats the one then i know how it happened, you might have pushed the wrong side in the rocker cover. because that was what i was doing. Both end are different, one side is flat and the other side is not. it has a little bump and that one goes in the rubber hose.

At the same time i learnt something new tonight

yep that's what happened, didn't know it happened until I noticed a tiny bit of oil on my polished cover :(

well today I cleaned the AFM, intercooler pipes, rocker covers, replaced and flushed coolant, then reset the ECU, my car has never started so easy and idled so clean....

mums not home so yet to see how it drives :(

booked the 32 into an exhaust shop to get all the intake/dump/cooler piping fabbed up.

Will be the first time in two years that its rolled out of the garage.

only fluids and tune to go! ^_^

    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
    • So my car is finally back from paint! This took an absolutely insane amount of work and should get it's own build thread - but I didn't build it. It was completed by Troy @ https://scalekustoms.com.au/ I originally bought the AOSHIMA URAS Type R kit while I was in Japan, it's supposed to look like this when assembled: Now, I thought that was cool enough until I opened the box with Dismay, as there's no way I could possibly have completed it. The thing is 1/24 and has details down to the steering wheel horn button, which is a 2mm diameter sticker. I originally wondered if someone could make it at all, as is - But then things got a little carried away. It's worth noting that the model does not have an openable bonne, let alone engine bay, OR an openable boot. - Troy has worked wonders with 3D printer and presumably better eyes than I will ever have. My photos suck, so I will post up some of his in-progress ones he sent to me during the way. Unsuprisingly, he is very detailed. A lot of these are out of order. But he: 1) Made a LS engine and an engine bay appear out of thin air 2) Made the bonnet removable 3) Printed the rims I will buy in the future (or any rim you want) 4) Printed and added the wing that is going on 5) Tinted my back windows as this is what my car has IRL (privacy glass) 6) Added a licence plate. 7) Somehow did the interior 8) 3D Printed my actual seats 9) Made the exhaust under the car connect even though this is likely invisible. 10) Created a boot with my fking battery box, power steering reservoir, subwoofer and toolboxes back there. To say it's insane is an understatement. And I f**ked it all up because when I was re-mounting the wing (it broke in transit) I spilled glue everywhere and ripped paint up and Gregged the rear half of the car. Which about makes sense. Also, this arrived on the same day. Quite the change from: I spent 16 hours per day over the next 3 days pre-christmas putting the interior back together, mounting lip, fixing various bodykit problems with window mouldings, etc. and servicing, rebuilding my 370z brakes to go on the car 'soon', messing with heights to check clearances for new wheels, etc. I also had a foray into mounting wiper-mounted washer jets which was an absolute disaster. The bodyshop has welded (and painted) over the stock jet locations for reasons unknown to everybody (i.e they forgot) I also wanted to wire in the oil pressure sensor on Christmas Eve which was a BAD IDEA. You do not know terror like pulling your ECU apart, pinning in half-fitting pins that aren't the right ones, but trying anyway because it's Christmas eve, putting your ECU back together and having a no-start condition with a fuel pump not priming. Then you undo all your work and the fuel pump still doesn't prime. So after all that terror and horror and pain and tedious disassembly, the issue was the relay in the boot which seems to have died/stuck when I was turning the car off and on about 700 times testing shitty washer jets. I also re-wired the fuel pump power plug which fell apart in my hands. I am very happy I had 3 extra pre-made ones from a few posts/last Christmas's breakdown. https://bluewireautomotive.com/products/10-x-pcm-ecm-ecu-terminals I have put an order for these in, so I can actually add the pins to the ECU properly. The commodore ECU does not have the pins for Oil Pressure via ODB2. However the ECU can support it if you create the pins and wire them in. So for round two, and somehow attempting to route that into the engine bay through my impossible engine bay grommet is a fight for another day. It's 40C in Melbourne tomorrow, I am half tempted to drive the car with the aircon on to deliver presents to my partner's family and see if it helps with the overheating-on-40C-days-in-traffic-with-aircon-on-only issue that the vents were intended to solve. Do I feel lucky?
    • Yes, while being... strictly unnecessary. Tuning is a bit like quantum physics. You don't need to understand what Schroedinger's equation actually means. You just need to run the computation and accept the answers. With tuning, you just push page up/down until the exhaust tells you that you've got the fuel right. The VE can stay hidden behind the curtain like the Wizard of Oz and you'll never need to know what he looked like.
    • The second part yes, the first part about easy VE calculation is something I've seen a few people talk about online.
