Update:

Picked car up on monday, was running badly and had no grunt at all. but when it was cold it ran on 6, once it warmed up it dropped a cyln.

Sussed it out to be a dead coilpack. Also noticed several plugs for the ignitor and so on were corroded so i cleaned the, out with WD40. changed coilpack and bingo, all 6 cylns running fine.

sussed out the EBC and got it running 0.9 bar of boost, and man does it light up the rears, took it for a hills run last night and was having no troubles linking 4-5 corners in a row in 3rd gear, not sure if the motor or the turbo are stock, but its got some balls, more then i expected thats for sure.

Car handles really good, i can throw it around and push hard into corners like and 86 and it just grips, could be the Advan Neova AD07's on the front tho :)

All in all i love it, car handles and slides very well, the interiour is mint, there are no rattles, and everything electrical on the car works. im stoked!

Clutch is stock, only slipped once and that was when i did a handbrake turn, car span round and i dropped clutch in 1st, bannged limiter hard while car was rolling back smoking the rears, grabbed 2nd, lit the the rears on the limiter again and then grabbed third and started slipping.

so things to come include.

New clutch (i already have this, just gotta put it in)

400Hp turbo (arrives next week)

and decals from sponsors :)

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Hendasto · Posted

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
