I blame the crimps -

Crimps are looking better, yashimash. -
I didn't expect it to be this dirty though! That I don't disagree, but it's the dirty and old pipe work it needs to travel though before reaching the tap for consumption.

Working from home, means clean filtered water, access to beer and opportunity to refresh the twin water filter in the kitchen. I keep hearing Australian tap water is clean, good dis dat. Anyhow, these filters are less than 11 months old. LHS is a 1 micron filter, RHS is a 0.5 micron, ignoring the RHS, the LHS one tells a very different story about how "clean" our tap water is.

Straight into the bin, was going to keep the brass tube and T, changed my mind, all in the bin lol.

How does the air regulator works ?
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to bigboss59400's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Unpopular opinion, rip all that junk out (AAC, IACV, TB, Cable throttle, etc.) throw it all into the recycling bin. Go DBW throttle. Superb idle control, throttle response, cruise control, and all the fun stuff like throttle blips, rev matching etc. -
Lol... We are not normal. If space, and finances weren't an issue, I would love to have both, a M3 and this R33 shit box. But the Matrix does not allow it.
-
If I could turn back time, I would tell my old self to strip the car when the last motor blew and go save for a bit more a M3 instead of blowing money respraying and building a new motor. Stupid things you do when you're not thinking long term...
-
Now with fluid, 1bar test again. Pretty much below the pressure of a running system anyway, when you think about it, an OEM cap is 0.9bar.
-
1bar of pressure, can't hear of any leaks so that's a good sign. See if it holds for an hour or so, then I think we are good.
-
Big cams and VCT makes all the sense. Kind of have the best of both worlds (kinda).
-
Go the VCT, fuuark.
-
No idea, in the Hi Octane Ad, says R33 and R34 coming soon? Lol.
-
Very good pricing, considering how much fabricator charge these days for just that!
-
SP Muffler will have an OTS 4" system for R33s soon. They already have them for R32s, very sex. https://www.hioctanedirect.com/SP-Mufflers-4-Inch-Cat-Back-Stainless-Exhaust-With-Ovan-Muffler-Suit-R32-GTR I'm no affiliated or anything like that.

R34 Gtt Fuel Pump Upgrade
Dose Pipe Sutututu replied to Shelford93's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
I love it when I see aftermarket FPRs on stock cars. -
Seems this is common on RB26 However makes more sense on the lower hose as it's cooler and will promote flow And correction to my previous post about it being the RB26 thermostat, we can see that it's not in this photo
-
@fletch rb30 looks good! If my motor wasn't in the car, or the timing belt was off, I would be redoing the hardline to run it in front of the motor like what you've done. Another idea is to return it back to the thermostats housing, similar to how it's done on the RB26, could that be an option?
-
Fitted, will adjust the angles of the fittings once I fit up the loom. Under plenum, really wanted to convert that barb to a 6AN but yeah nah, wasn't a true 3/8" so that conversion fitting didn't work. Less messy now, the coolant hose mess is now gone!
-
This comment has kept me up at night (amongst other reasons). I've found a way to solve this mess, and that's to return the water line all the way to front where the OEM barb goes to the bleeder (where the thermostat housing is). Funny enough, old GReddy plenum instructions just stated to plumb it into the fitting I had initially chosen. Anyhow this is what I've knocked up. It connects from the turbo coolant return hard that goes behind the head (I made this, similar to the half rubber/half hard line OEM one). Then sweeps down and runs along side the plenum to the thermostat housing where there's a 90° fitting which goes into a 3/8" barb. I originally bought a female 3/8" to 6AN fitting to convert the OEM barb, but it wouldn't go over. So yeah we landed at this.
