Skyline Got New Bits,intercooler Finaly On


Recommended Posts

yeah i recon the gap does not help. What plugs did you buy, splitfires? I finaly got my bits together for my wasted spark. When i pulled my coil out to see the spark, i could hardly see it. LOl. so this will definatly help.

I have no CAI, yet to make it up. But i have some good ideas as to how i want to do it.

AS for the bonnet thing, well no, i don't like the look of it, but hay.

Can't wait to see the water sprays, i'll pinch your design. LOL.

Keep us posted

i bought standard coilpacks with ngk iridium 9s, i didnt see the need for splitfires as im not aiming over 200rwk and i can get the standard ones for trade price which is $50 cheaper than slitfires each coil. i didnt end up hitting the dyno because my plans on modifications have changed a little :O , ive decided to take my time making the cai and im about to pm gmb to ask him if he still has that old smic that came off his 32 along with a water spray kit, i can tell you now how to make a water spray kit cheap:

go to a wrecker and buy the biggest squarest window squirter bottle you can find (being in hobart ill suggest hobart truck spares because they have 4x4s and such, make sure they have the pump on them though as this makes it alot easier). next you buy the hosing (in my case because im using a smic im gunna get some 2nd hand stuff with the bottle) next you co to the local hardware store and buy a garden spray kit (the nozzles and whatever associated to plumb them into the water squirter) then fit it to the best possible spot you can find on your car and wire/plumb it up i might take some photos and do a diy thread for it?

as for the bonnet lifting, if you dont want to do that then look under your bonnet and think how else you can flow air through there to keep temps down, im sure thered be a way :)

pics will come soon :D

hay toffy, so how much was that a coil??? Is the any chance if the price is right, you could get more coils???

I have an R33 SMIC if they are the same you can have it. I have all the piping ect.

As to the water sprayer kit, yeah i will make my own too, just need more time and money, lol. TIME is a bit short with a growing family.

Jaycar make an excellent water kit controller, it works soooo dam well, you can run it of temp, MAP, boost ect ect, it's $60 for the kit, here is the link.

I have used this before in a different application, but very good kits.

As to the sprayers, d not use the plastic ones. Go to a farm supplier and they have 180deg spray nozzles for $5 each, they are great, not sure what the name is though.

Here are some good links too

Here is another controller

hay toffy, got a template for an R33 CAI and all the instructions, i can also get the material ALCUBOND from a contact i have. All up a carton of beer for material PM and i will get you the details of the template. The template is not mine so i can't take credit but it looks good so far.

I should have mine setup over the next couple of weeks.

    • He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 😃
    • Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.
    • Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.
    • Correct. The ECU cannot read oil temp. (Well, I think it probably can in some situations. I did have the thought of potentially repinning the ECU when I was doing oil pressure). I am using this into the MPVI dongle, so that the MPVI dongle can read oil temperature. It is attached to a VDO gauge which is obviously calibrated to whatever curve the sender actually is using. This would be easy if I could setup a table of voltage to temperature like many sensors, but it appears I cannot do this and can only setup the transform rule which appears to be Input (voltage) x Multiplier, and add an offset. This to me means it MUST be linear. So it may be a complete waste of time wiring this into the ECU. The idea was that the MPVI3 has standalone logging. I wanted to use this instead of a laptop with serial cable (for wideband) for long datalogs. Given the wideband also has electric interference, I may never trust this either in a world where the serial wideband and the analog output wideband do not agree. Last time I did a trace I could see the two wideband traces follow each other, but one was a little leaner than the other. I plan on playing with voltage offsets and actually driving the thing to see how close they correlate. If they never correlate... then, well, maybe I'll never use either. Ideally I'd like to have the Analog wideband read ever so slightly leaner than the serial one, because the serial one is 'correct'. Tuning the car to be ever so slightly too-rich would be the aim. Not needing to have a laptop flying around in the footwell connected with cables is... an advantage. About the only one from the forced upgrade to MPVI3.
    • Hopefully not, since he knows the fuses work ha ha ha
