Aren't you working today Shane?

no my man im on hollidays this week ;)

Ummm bank account bare.... AGAIN...

That brings my car to a grand total of close to 48grand now...

Yeah, keep adding it up. Cause that helps make me feel better... :P

well ur 22g's off "the record"

and i bet urs goes harder :unsure:

Cross drilled and ventilated rotors Front & Rear

New brake Pads

Dot 5 fluid

555cc Injectors

Speed flow fittings galore and braided lines galore

Exedy hyper single plate clutch (sold the twin plate)

Rear main seal

HID headlamp conversion kit

Oil cooler

Oil filter reloactor kit

thats about it... Actually it was closer to $4,370

that clutch gonna hold ur power col, or should i say torque? :D

mmmmmmmm speedflow fittings and braided lines mmmmm :P

well i might go clean my cars interior.... and maybe clean the garage and mow lawn.

geez the things i do for my parents

Yeah and all those scabs do is pay the mortgage on the house you live in and pay for your car to be fixed when it gets keyed...damn them

ha ha ha

and he prolly doesn't even pay rent!

and that was a big MAYBE, so you'll prolly not do it! :unsure:

Shane you lucky SOB!!! i want a week off!!! not that i do much at work!

ha ha ha

so how long before i see your beast!!

HA HA HA!!!

(some ones gonna have to jump on that!)

btw nice turbo... what is it? GT35R?

GT30 with a 0.82 rear end... 0.7 comp cover...

Yes is a real Garrett not a copy... ($2000 turbo)

well ur 22g's off "the record"

and i bet urs goes harder :unsure:

that clutch gonna hold ur power col, or should i say torque? :P

Yes, yes it does go hard now, but im aiming for 300rwkw with about 600-650nm of torque...

The clutch i have ordered will hold up to about 400rwkw... Its a bit bitey but i got to test drive a 280rwkw r34 GT-T this morning with this clutch in it and i was very impressed with its performance. It about 30-40% heavier than standard but hold 3 times the torque of standard clutch.

Its an awsome setup. The twin plate was too noisy for my liking, at idle at the lights it sounded like i had rocks in my exhaust. Made the car sound like a bucket... Plus it was not exactlly perfect for my application due to the track work that the car will be seeing in the near future...

Ive given up trying to get a 11 second pass at 242rwkw... The best i got to was 12.4 and could not go any harder...

So at 300rwkw i should be a shoe in for a high 11 second pass on street tryes...

Then ill shoot for a mid/low 11 with semi slicks or drag slicks...

ha ha ha

lol...well if we can get the adapter plate on and the sump modded and on, then engine in this week, it'll go off to the exhuast shop next week n then to get tuned! so maybe 2 weeks

col, it's gonna be one hell of a skyline, i like it how uve done it in stages, not just in one hit, and it seems u've covered all the basis :unsure:

next step will be to get the head modified and then the oiling modified to cope with ur track work?

ANSWER: Depends on whether they're telling you to put them near a source of heat... :unsure: But yeah most shops should have a basic understanding of what will and won't tolerate heat

Nah, I meant the shop has chosen that particular hose for the spot, and it's not tolerated heat at all, and melted... should they have known that the material they chose for that application wasn't going to handle the heat in that particular spot in the engine bay? Like, wouldn't you use something to tolerate higher temperatures near the turbo?

I have an oil cooler on the way ATM...

My head is stock and all i was gonna do in the future was to put bigger valve springs in and maby a set of cams...

Which is more than likely a head off application...may aswell get it ported and tidied up whilst its off? and better oil pump and crank collar...

it makes me laugh at how much all these things cost, quite sad hey :unsure:

If a shop does some work and, because of their work or choice of parts, it fails, it should be up to them to sort it out. In your case, they chose the hose and didn't make any effort to shield it from the heat that would quite obviously come from the exhaust/turbo side of an engine... they should at the very least replace it with something more suitable, and preferably repair any damage caused by the hose melting.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
