Its been a while since ive posted. While the car was sitting at home i painted all the turbo piping, fuel rail, fuel reg and external gate to try make it look a little more stealthy incase i ever got asked to pop the bonnet. it looks almost stock now.

I finally got a clutch put in. While it was there i decided to do the timing belt, water pump, crank seals, cam seals etc and solid mount the rear subframe. I really missed driving the car but of course with my luck atm i took it out the next day to a friends and the thermostat was stuck shut causing overheating. I got that taken out and thought my problems were behind me. I was sooooo wrong. I took it out the next day for a drive to wollongong and on the way down i lifted the head :( :( I limped it back to the mechanics and thats were its sitting atm till i can afford to get the head gasket and studs put in. Im so upset with everything. All i want is the car back on the road but at this rate everything is going against me. Its pretty frustrating!!

Horrible luck. The wheels are 18x9.5 + 20 offset. They sit outside the guard a little. It looks nice without too much playing with the guards

Cheer up...you have had a fair bit of "very bad" luck (to put it politely) but I guess it only gets better from here !!

Wat size and offset are your new wheels?

How much boost were you running? Stock turbo? Would take some serious punishment to be 'lifting the head', although a blow gasket I can definitely see.

I was running 20 pound with a garrett 3082. I saw the gasket. There was a small indent in it. However he called me after stripping the engine and sure enough. With my luck all 6 pistons were cracked somehow. He has never seen it before. He thinks its possibly a bad batch of e85. I guess its a rebuild for me. Im kinda over it a little. I just want to have fun with the car already.

Well after living off crumbs i have got the bottom end rebuilt thanks to Zan at SMD workshop. Really helped me out. Only put GTR pistons in it with new rings and bearings etc. When i went in i saw all 6 were cracked and sure enough there was a hole in one of them too. I really missed driving it and having fun with it. Ill be taking it to the drag strip very soon and hitting up some wet pans to really have some fun with it.

Thats all for now i think. Ill keep updates coming on whats planned

Well im back again for another update. Car run great on 291kw but i got a bit bored of it so when i went back for an eflex sensor i decided to push it. Sure enough the rear main crank seal (i think thats what its called) decided to give up on me and i lost compression aswell. Wasnt too suprised or upset so ive decided to go all out and build a 3L bottom end and a couple of new goodies to get it cracking realllllllllly good :) I was kinda of inspired by nytsky's build :)

Yeah im hoping she will be a unassuming monster when its done, Since the car has been sitting around i got all my interior finished off by Silvio at Strictly Auto Trim. 0405553109. He done a great job and at an amazing price. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to retrim anything. Ill get pics up soon of it once i send him the steering wheel to finish off.

All goes well im hoping to have all the stuff back at SMD this week to get started on it.

Hey guys. Sorry for the lack of posting. There hasnt been much going on because it started off as just a built 3L bottom end but now since things are taking there time it has turned HUGE. Basically its all getting built to take big big power. Ill update with specs and all that after its all put together around the christmas mark but it will be ready for powercruise next year. In the mean time i decided to sell my ute and buy myself a Stagea as a work car plus it gives me a little bit of skyline to have fun with whilst the 33 is sitting off the road.

More to come soon

      Does anyone know whats happening with harness on drivers door?

      The two diagrams are equivalent. The R32 one is just one sheet out of about 3 showing everything in the whole car all at once. And without knowing the functionality that occurs in the modules, they are both equally opaque.

      Thanks for your reply,  Those blue/green wires running to the actuator aren't attached to anything, so I'm not sure how the central locking is still working. I will have to take a good look tomorrow, I don't have the car with me. After googling it seems like a pretty common aftermarket actuator which even uses the same green/blue wires the immobiliser required. i'll test everything tomorrow and if it's working i'll melt the solder, strip it, resolder and neaten it all up with some heat shrink. I don't have to understand it if it works hahaha I just don't want a fire/ short circuit. That R32 diagram looks more like a continuity chart? Can you make sense of this form the R34 manual? 10V is probably due to very flat battery, i'll recheck as well tomorrow, I did have to jump start it haha. Thanks again!

      So, COM doesn't mean comms. It means common. What common itself means will depend on the type of device. For a two directional actuator (ie, one that can push and pull on the same output rod) then the common will typically just be the earth connection. There will be at least 2 other wires. If you put 12V on one of the other wires, then the actuator will push. On the other 12V wire, it will pull. Can't quite make out what is going on with the wiring of your actuator. It appears to have several wires at the actuator plug, but there only appears to be 2 wires where its loom approaches the door control module, with at least one of the others cut off. I don't know these actuators off by heart. I'd have to look at a wiring diagram for one before knowing what the wires were about, and that's despite me having to replace one in my car not all that long ago. Just not interesting enough to have dedicated memory set aside for trivia like that any more. That actuator is an aftermarket one, not the original one, which probably died and was replaced. That might require some sort of bodge job on wiring to make it work. Although nothing should justify the bodginess of the bodge job done. As to the soldering job on the door module's loom plug. Ahhahhahaha. Yes, very nasty. Again, I cant tell you what any of those wires do. You'd need to study the R34 wiring diagram (if you can find one that shows the door module). I don't think I have any. I'd have to study the R32 diagram to start to understand what mine is doing, and again, even though I've had a problem with mine for the last 25 years (where it locks the passenger door when the driver's window reaches top or bottom of travel) I'm just not interested enough to try to to work it out. So long as it's not burning down, it's fine with me. Here's the R32 GTR diagram, which, confusingly, has rear door lock actuators and window motors on it!! As you can see, unless you understand the functions of the door lock timer and the power window amplifier, you'll never be able to work out how it works just from the diagram. I don't imagine that the R34 one is any better. Hopefully an R34 aware bod can help. FWIW, the two wires that are cut and joined look like they are both power supply - so hopefully it is not fatal to join them. The 10V you measured on the cut off free end of one of them is concerning. You'd expect 12V, and it might be the reason for the bodge job joining them together.
