I also decided to get rid of the airflow meters,IMG_4845.thumb.JPG.f7bbe6cb9cbc2261a8255d24b1c5d712.JPGno because I think they're a restriction but just cause I could

Reason for the front bar coming off was fitting a new intercoolerIMG_4851.thumb.JPG.5e2b87f00f2766f404453245e396917c.JPGIMG_4852.thumb.JPG.1b12420b549c1f4fb39ddcf5e9ba2379.JPGwhich is a plazmaman pro series with the 76mm core because I didn't want to modify the front bar to fit it

So for what I thought was a bolt in intercooler took a lot longer to actually get on the car, the quality and mounting points were perfect but due to the extra width I had to undo the bumper support and move it out of the way and slide it all in togetherIMG_4855.thumb.JPG.5891ad1100e5196f9901b598eed75053.JPGand how close it is to the front support with it all fitted againIMG_4854.thumb.JPG.45b088bd2527286c408b7a10663adb49.JPG

Speaking of getting the front bar on that was a nightmare, I knew the r32 had less room in the front but I didnt know it was this much less.

Because I wanted to keep the factory mesh in there i had to trial fit the front bar and bend the mesh and try again, this happened about 6 times to finally get it right but was worth the effort

Didn't update this last week cause all I did was the wire the vcam and flex sensor into the ecu, plug the wide band controller into the ecu and ran the wire to the boot to switch the second fuel pump 

But this week I was a little more constructive IMG_4886.thumb.JPG.2c5678b60f910a407f156e7269beae42.JPGfirst took the discs off and sent them out to be machined

IMG_4897.thumb.JPG.611e9461c948db0ada023d1dced7782f.JPGback from machining and got some upgraded pads to fit as wellIMG_4929.thumb.JPG.50f9b0e38ee207f88488e73d79292d6a.JPGand all fitted 

Also grabbed some braided lines and fitted them IMG_4928.thumb.JPG.94b5f5003117e9afba5dd85e1227cf71.JPGdidnt get a photo before I put them on but you can see it there 

IMG_4930.thumb.JPG.fd47afb6e52b84d6f3c9722b3e5fd35f.JPGalso fitted a brand new r33 gtr master cylinder and replaced all the brake fluid,

turns out the plug for the fail light is different between 32 and 33 so will go to Nissan and see if they can supply a plug and pins set

Got a delivery the other day from Japan of corse IMG_4936.thumb.JPG.2d386248eb5641067cf762b2e968a35f.JPGIMG_4937.thumb.JPG.91ef7cc76a3d2dbc04dd8b2ca155f10b.JPGIMG_4938.thumb.JPG.aba4669831d8d3fce4d2dac7c9a9ba47.JPGand he first thing out of the box is an ard 150amp alternator, the original was only charging at 12.3v so with the extra load was only going to get worse 

Didn't get photos of it installed before I refitted everything including the radiator and coolant then I rechecked the running voltage and I won't need to worry about it again IMG_4942.thumb.JPG.7644f2ef39153931576f416bb280f556.JPG

    • I have an Elite 2500, honestly most of this has been a lot of smaller tasks chasing little details and a whole lot of life getting in the way of bigger projects. I don't mind too much looking at a spectrograph vs having audio knock ears. 
    • Nah nah nah nah. Don't do it. It's not all about the full throttle power delivery. The main "street fun" and drivability gains from smaller rear (in this case) is how you will have boost available from a low rpm when yo just roll onto the throttle. Think jinking in and out of traffic, coming out of roundabouts, etc etc, where you just want to roll onto the throttle a little and have the spooly noise from ~2000rpm and a swell of torque. More of what you've already achieved by going to 2.5. And then, towards the tail end of 2025 you can pull the turbo 4 out and put in a V8 like we originally suggested. :P
    • Cheers for the info mate, I'm old too, 60 years old next May, so a more linear delivery of the 0.86 would be better as baking tyres and snapping heads isn't on the cards for me or the car I assume a more linear power delivery would be better for engine and drivetrain reliability as well, IRT the torque load at lower RPM???, as well as lower EGT's???, if my understanding of that is correct, have I got that right??? I've only got a really basic understanding of turbo sizing and all there characteristics  Cheers for the useful information 
    • What kind of power delivery are you after? If it's nice and linear, the 0.86 would be better. If you're after bake tyres and head snaps on boost the 0.64 would be fun. I'm boring and old, so linear power is preferred. Lately I've been watching videos on Z06 Corvettes and super charged Mustangs....
