How'd he get a s15 on p's? N/a?

I thought you had 2 beast cars ;)

You can drive the Aus spec one, the 200SX on your P's in NSW but it has to be stock

His however is the Autech version, i'd love an NA S15 too, they are a bunch of fun and sound amazing!

I've been having intermittent misfires and the typical coughing and spluttering over the last few months, it's been okay as i only drive the car once a week if that right now so it hasn't really bothered me, however my fuel pump has started making a mean groan which sounded absolutely horrible and before i got stranded somewhere with a dead fuel pump i thought now would be a good time to replace it

I came home from work this evening to a care package from Kudos, i purchased the Walbro GSS-341 (255lph) which came as a kit with everything required to install it into the stock position which is great if your car (like mine) still has the factory pump

With the street as my workshop and the sun as my light source i decided to start before it got too dark

Firstly i removed my old pump, be patient with this, be sure not to put too much pressure on the fuel level floater / sender unit

Here is a comparison of the new walbro compared to the stock pump

To fit the pump in with the stock fuel pump basket you'll need to bend the base off it, the little hook looking part flat, and then cut it off

Now attach the fuel pump to the tube which has the barb on it with the supplied hose clamps and new fuel hose

Attach the filter sock to the base of the pump and lock it on with the small barbed pin/circle clip

From here i used a Stainless steel cable tie to hold the pump to the basket to stop it moving around, people have used hose clamps however i didn't have a big enough hose clamp handy and the stainless cable tie works fine and looks great :)

After crimping the connections to the supplied plug i plugged the pump in, and reinstalled it back into the fuel tank and turned my car on to make sure it was all working.

Car is purring nicely now on idle, it's also feeling much more lively and less hesitant not to mention the misfire seems to have disappeared! All in all a cheap and good upgrade i would suggest to anyone who is unsure of the history of their fuel pump

Cheers, Jordy

Christmas is gone and done, hope you all enjoyed yourself!

The car has been given some love. Over the break i replaced Oil w/ liquimoly oil flush and filter, Spark plugs and Coil packs. I also gave the AFM a clean while it was out

I then gave my new foam lance a go! what a cool idea!

Then i took it to family lunch and somehow survived from the city out to dural without getting pulled over, i did however see about 10 highway patrol cars.. that was fun. :P

Next up, clutch and engine swap i think! - Inter cooler kit is in the mail plane from japan so i've heard, hoping for it to arrive this week! - time to start looking for an EBC and ECU!

Came home to an absolutely huge box from Japan today which contained my inter cooler kit!

I Purchased the GReddy Type LS kit

Super excited about that, all i need now is a clutch and we can drop the motor in!

I love this build :wub:

keep it up and keep us updated!

top notch bro.

my 32 has begun to seem a little sluggish and backfires a lot more than it used to.

nothing seems to indicate fuel pump but I guess its worth a check :)

Not much has been happening with the car, just gathering parts for my turbo swap, I've found an ECU and I've also been introduced to a friend of a friend who owns a fab shop who will be making me an Exhaust and a the cold side intake piping to go with the forward facing plenum

Enjoying the car honestly feels weird! - The R32 wanted to go and see his R33 friends so we went and said hello :cheers:

I had a slow week or two at work and was feeling kinda down so i bought myself an ARC cooling Panel for the R32, i love ARC, i love their story and their products so i was happy to pick up this piece, hopefully some more parts pop up that i can buy :)

This is something to smile about i guess

Nice work mate, I always enjoy seeing a gtr kitted gts or gtst.

If I've read it right a rb25 +t should be a very nice upgrade over the 20de

Thanks! :)

I have an RB25DE from and R33 at the moment (which i found to be a great upgrade in itself haha) and I've just finished an RB25DET from an R33 which is going in in the next month or so

I was going to dabble with +T setups because it really interests me, but i ended up getting a plain old boring DET motor :)

  • 1 month later...

Woohoo! im back and with pics!!

Been a while since i posted but it's all happening!!

Took the car for it's last naturally aspirated drive to wisemans ferry, it was a strangely cold night and the car absolutely loved it, shame to think i was pulling the motor out the next day!

Put the Rb25 in my mate's stagea and set off to my dad's house who has a garage he's letting me use!

Just before she was pulled down

Went for a swim and had some lunch while we let the bay dry :yes:

More news when i get home! :)

Had a few productive days on the car, going a little insane but that's alright

xfJA729l.jpg
Tapped the old throwout bearing off

Pressed the new one on and greased the appropriate surfaces

Got the clutch and related bits together

New Nissan Clutch Master cyl (Greddy Plenum in R32 with RB25 Clearance issues, apparently)

New Clutch kit

New Nismo Pivot Ball

New ARP Flywheel Bolts
New Nissan Clutch bolts

New Spiggot

While the engine was out i decided to install a GKtech solid steering spacer, mine was in surprisingly good condition already, but i thought it was a good idea while the engine was out! I also replaced my steering rack bushes, they where haggard.. Should feel much better up front with both of those done!

I put the new engine in, got my dad to give me a hand with that haha.. Engine wired up and pumps mounted it was time for bed

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
