I purchased Tomei crate engine back in Nov last year and most of the parts within the last six months

Sorry for all the questions, just trying to piece the story together, what made you take it off the road 2.5 years ago?

will be good to see what it really does after engine has been run in.

I have a mate with the same turbos and ECU and he made 470hp at the wheels on a stock motor, you should make at the very least that amount

I wanted to change the turbos as the nismo turbines were stuffed! I proceeded to do it myself (done it before). Then one thing led to another and decided to restore and build it. I already an N1 block, CP pistons, oil pump and engine mounts ready for rebuild. But Tomei crate engine was very hard to turn down for what it had to offer.

Ps If you had have sent the car and engine to Jase and I in November we could have had the car back to you that weekend :P

don't get me started. Gav sent me via tex MSG last nite an apology and then called me this morning to apologize again for the delay.

Ahh i see! Fair enough!

And so he bloody should apologise! No one pays upfront, and when you do you expect speedy service

can't wait mate. It should get close to the 400kw mark...............well that's benchmark I have set but I want the car to more reliable than anything else. So I'd be happy with 380rwkw.

400kw will be possible on 98, but that will be sort of the limit, it would piss it in on E85 though!

nailed it! Doesn't take rocket scientist to work that one out. He said to me he was sorry and that he needed a good kick in the backside (his own words). I've had more care from him within the last 24hrs than since I had given him the car!

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
