Ok, knew I had metal throttle body gaskets somewhere. They reared their head on my toolbox at work today. Glad I hadn't put the motor in, or I wouldn't bother, as it's a PITA.

So, removed plenum, throttle bodies and IAC assembly.
Installed metal gaskets(with a hylomar coating) and reassembled.

Will be a good addition if I ever swap to e85 and start trying more boost.

Washed to carbon bonnet that has been sitting in the garage for about a year.20181012_145844.jpg20181012_155413.jpg20181012_155415.jpg20181012_155708.jpg20181012_160748.jpg20181012_150355.jpg

If it were my build and I had the parts you do. I'd get it running and doing laps on the 7s then you can dial the suspension tuning in and work down your times. If it's not enough power after the car

Looking good mate good progress 
Keep the pics coming 
 
Cheers mate.
Honestly surprised no one has bagged out the stock air box.
I was curious to see if it would work with the 30 bottom end. Was a little tight, but got there.

Purchased some oils and drive belts(also purchased drive belts for the white one while I was there)
Installed said belt(power steer)
Installed radiator
Installed shifter assembly
Installed strut brace cross bar
Installed centre muffler section of exhaust

Finished filling with run in oil(I was 2l short from my last lot)
Filled with coolant

Was going to fill transfer and diff, but couldnt crack the transfer fill plug.
Checked and confirmed i also need gearbox oil(dont know why I drained it)

Painted the exhaust tip black again, as the paint had perished.

Any other questions?

Lower bell housing bolts in
Connected fan wiring

Still have to connect the starter wiring, fit clutch slave, fill front diff and gearbox.
Then, should be good to go.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      Put a hand on an injector and see if that's what the buzzing is. You might be triggering the injectors by moving off idle command.
