well new belt and cam gears fitted up, did G1 round 3 - good result qualifying in top 16 - drew christian pickering first round, he beat me 6-4, 6-4 on the two runs...

with only doing 2 rounds of the 3 round series, i ended up 16th for South Australia G1 Championships. ;)

The car is now gonna get pulled down again and freshened up... should look HOT!!!!

Also going to upgrade the turbo again (power hungry lol) so the hks gt2540 is now for sale - its been running on 1.2 bar at the moment (around 220rwkw). click link for details :thumbsup:

More updates later, as things start to happen

I've got some other bits for sale, and will update bits for sale as i find them. As i'm gonna do a shed clearout of all my bits and pieces.

Here's a pic from G1

well with help from my fellow FULL TUNE members, and SIMON from MORPOWA - i've been slowly getting this thing done.

there's 2 major mods going on at the moment, exterior and power.

only going to go into detail about the power side of it for now and unveil pics once car is all finished.

POWER

well the hks2540 is long gone, and 1400r sourced me a dmax manifold from japan which is now on the car. I also got myself a Garrett GT3076r IW with the .6 front and 56trim wheel with .63 exhaust housing from SIMON at MORPOWA he also modified the wastegate to have a larger port and also larger flap. Coming off the back of this is an awesome screamer dump / front pipe with flex join from AM PERFORMANCE here in Adelaide. I modified my intake pipe which i had on the previous setup to suit this turbo, its not perfect but it will be more than sufficient for the job.

still have to fit the nismo adjustable fuel pressure reg that i've got, but that is a simple bolt on item.

I am nearly at the point of starting the engine and hearing this thing run again, but i'm still waiting on the return of my I/C pipe modded, hose for oil drain - then all sorted.

260+ is the goal for this setup by what boost... now that is the question...but i will find out soon enough.

EXTERIOR

i have a 'few' more new things which will make the car stand out and make it more individual over other ceffy's, including other pieces from other cars which have been modified to suit... more on that when its all finished though!

i will put up a pic of how the car looks at the moment though.

cheers

-Matt

Edited by huddy

well paint colour should be revealed soon :thumbsup:

ultimately i would like 280+rwkw, but i do have gtr injectors with fuel reg, so unsure if i have enough fuel from this and also walbro intank pump.

also skeptical on the whole setup as its on a rb20 based engine.

should find out in the next month or so :D

well... it runs!!

slight problem, need to modify the awesome front/dump as it is a little low :P

but other than that, it was good to start the engine in about 2months (or more)!!!

hopefully i'll get a tune next week, just have to get the dump/front modified again first.

got the GT3076r fitted up (with the wastegate ported out and larger flap fitted)

DMAX stainless manifold fitted (welded on extra gusset) (+ nissan ex mani gasket)

AM Performance Stainless screamer front/dump *TUFF AS*

new braided oil feed line and water lines, re-sleeved with heat sleeving

ally intake pipe was modified to suit with 4"-3" reducer

also fitted a nismo adjustable FPR

enjoy the pics.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
