Dose's Sometimes DIY and Pay Someone Home & Boat Improvement Thread

Drove it tonight, gave it a bit of a squirt on the new motor. Does feel strong, but haven't given it a beating yet as it's still the 1st batch of oil.

Will dump out the oil then drive it harder this weekend :)

Not a bad turbo, comes on (gate pressure) about 4000rpm, from the trace you can see 0.8bar of boost by 3600rpm. Mind you this was all in 2nd gear. No 3rd gear squirts yet hehehehe

@Piggaz told you I was going to give it not pussy it around!!

Haha its got some decent audio, Vifa splits and a DD ported sub. At the back there is a 4 channel and a monoblock to power the speakers lolol.

So late arvo yesterday, dropped the oil and put in fresh 15W50 Penrite Racing and decided to check the base timing. It was a whole 4 degrees off. Explains why the car had a bit of a boost creep running stock gate pressure. 

Fixed that, then took it for a spin (in between that fixing the fuel table which didn't require much change from the old motor setup). Got the AFRs a bit leaner so now its hitting 11.7 and flat lining.

And yep, I raised the boost too haha.. Running it in at 1.2bar of boost with crap all flat timing it's baking shitty 245 section Dunlops. Took it to Mexico and wound out 1st 2nd and 3rd, think I'm starting to hate the car less. Followed by that ended up at my mate's shop in South Mexico followed by a session of donuts to bed in the motor further. Gave the keys to the other boys at for a spin too. One didn't mind the lag as the motor revved out to 8.3k the other said was a bit too laggy for his liking but nevertheless still put a smile on everyone's face.

Late last night thought I would try to download the footage from my dash cam, turns out the memory card is corrupted :(

I'm running in this car a shitty Laser branded dash cam. It's the same as the G1W you see on OzBargain. 

Also isn't the first time it has corrupted a memory card. Instructions clearly state only use memory cards in this list, clearly I'm not lol.. Have a SanDisk SD card in there it doesn't like.

A bit of raw data from the car, we can see it's making boost within 200ms or so from gear changes. Not bad transient response :)

It's no EFR or GTX but for what it is it will make many GT-R owners with twins pretty sad lol

Haven't had the chance to give it a full belt and do logs because of the long weekend

    • So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.
    • Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
    • So awesome! I love the RB with the exhaust on display.
    • NO HITS PRICE DROP   ENGINE - $8.5k ONO TRANSMISSION - $1.8k ONO  
    • If it has had a code in the recent past, the code should still be there waiting to be read.
