Also a question for the pros out there. How does the clutch feel if I remove my factory clutch lines in favour of a braided line? 

Not a pro, but my braided clutch line doesn’t feel too different to std. For me it was more a matter of peace of mind replacing a 20+ year old line.

are you based in Hamilton?

May as well considering the $$ already spent on the box.. gktech do a R33 specific one.

i live in Hamilton but commute to Cambridge for work.

So while the misses was at work I got to ordering parts. New power steering lines, braided clutch line, fibreglass I take light. NRG horn button and a indicator extraction arm.

Have no idea when it will arrive but NZ is going to lvl3 as of next Tuesday so maybe I’ll have the car back by next Friday as I won’t be going back to work u til the kids go back to school.

Also after reading Doses build thread I have been doing mods to the house also, have to keep the fingers busy

So today I got some pics and a message saying the car was ready for pick up at 230 but was way to deep in home renos to stop and go get it but here is some pics of what it looks likeD1261B57-AFC0-48EF-B0A4-7F2A5E820FEB.jpeg.8ddb6fb6a9b1aac348600ca682c9a37f.jpeg49E6D067-4623-41CC-893B-1B9FA9A15CE2.jpeg.290865dae93936d560a9b0ee1590aeca.jpeg88314DA4-4C06-49B0-AF92-B4919B9F01CF.jpeg.ecb9697baf2ee7723570f937ab488c09.jpeg7153D4C7-9EE4-4AA8-B155-8520FF63AE0F.thumb.jpeg.836972b761c68f252b10a1d3b05b96c7.jpeg
As you can see the waste gate runs along the exhaust to exit behind the passenger compartment and a v clamp to make chasing the diff over a little less stress full

Also forgot to ask.

Injector size 1650cc or 2200cc

I've been told no need for 2200... I'm leaning towards 1000/1050 for ease of tuning idle but have also been recommended 1650s. 

I'm looking for 450-500hp on e85. 

If you're shooting for more horsepower and e85 and want the headroom for future then 2200 obviously. 

Also - that exhaust system is so nice!! I love the work

i've got Bosch 1250CC injectors and run 490hp on E85

I would avoid 2000/2200cc injectors, they're terrible. They're actually CNG (natural gas) injectors!

FWIW, you can do 372kW/499hp rear wheel on 875cc injectors on E85 at about 90% DC with AFRs in the mid 11s.

Personally would get Bosch 1480cc aka 1550cc aka 1650cc (everyone calls its something else), if money wasn't an issue straight up ID1300X^2 and run them at the required base pressure to get the desired fueling.

 

 I have Bosch 1000cc making 444rwkw on 98 so bumping them up to 1650 and running e85 we wanna see around 550rwkw.

Also got to get the car today and man it’s loud like real loud even had 2 cops tail me for abit but didn’t get pulled over on a side note I hate driving this car, after every drive my mouth is real sore mouth.

So it goes in tomorrow to get new alt put on diff rebuilt again, new power steering lines and a new clutch line then back off for another tune oh and a wof

So with the news of e85 leaving my shores and e100 prices to see around $1500 for 200L we have pulled the pin on a e85 tune but will get all the parts needed installed just in case.

Been talking with Steve about upgrading my rear housing to 14cm to see if we can pump the boost up and see if we can’t see 650hp.

Apart from that it’s down at the shop getting diff re done AGAIN couple new lines here and there then will be off to Auckland for a tune.

Hope to have car back by June 20 as we are having our house warming ( covid rules permitting) and wanna do some shed skids 

so new short shifter and brass ball turned up today. Car should be back from work shop next week then off again but the tuners are way behind so won’t have the back for awhile but I’m used to that. Will get a video of car running when I get it back.

Also won’t be able to install any new engine mods as there way behind but will be new fuel reg and pump and ecu in and have it running by chrome which is in August that also means no shed skids

Been a bit slack with the car sorry been doing home Renos while the car has been away but some news.

car is on the dyno right now and it’s making 453wkw on 26psi. Changing the plugs to colder and gapping them as it had a miss. It’s making more power on less boost.

Picking it up Saturday and it should be home for more than a week this time. It’s also all booked into chrome so will see what it’s like on the track.

Will post pics and dyno sheets once I get them

Hmmm, img_0483 movie... f**k it! I'll live dangerously, download!

That is sounding real nice.

This is the opposite of slack. Renos are the worst. They're great fun and so exciting for the first hour. Then once the destruction phase is over... boooo!

Your right but when the Reno starts to pay off you get this

    • I've done a few BMS systems. Code in Canada use to force us to have any safety components outside of the PLC but with a code change back in 2018 I believe it was, we can now use safety PLC's to control everything. Sadly to your point, AB Guardlogix safety instructions for example are only available in ladder.  Machine safety is a very big thing here though, you're constantly forced to migrate to the next best thing by OSHA. I honestly prefer safety plc's, including anything from AB more then I do working with old school safety monitoring relays. PLC is only one portion of it, the rest of the electrical still has to follow to meet SIL (Mechanically linked dual contacts, bla bla)  Now tell me how to feel about safety over comm's (e.g Ethernet/IP CIP) on a unmaintained network haha
    • To your point, boolean logic. We're not only working with bools in ecu's, so it's very limiting. I wanted to setup a low WMI pressure alarm. After 1 second I want WMI line to hit 100PSI, 2 seconds 175PSI, etc. and trigger an alarm if it doesn't meet those thresholds. This would of taken me one very short line of text, but instead I had to bugger around with generic timers, conditions, etc. and so forth.
    • I much prefer that to an actual oil pressure issue, never would of thought it would of been a volt drop issue but SAU brains win again. Guess ill be turning down the oil pressure limit for the track and hunting some grounds. Ill hopefully update this thread with some high oil pressure and solid ecu voltage logs. 
    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
