ok i was contemplating removing the hks gt2540 and going for something a fair bit bigger, but now... i'm gonna keep it. It makes 20psi by 3900-4000rpm, its fuggin quick as aswell once you get some grip into the rear.

I ran maxxis tyres last weekend, and far out - they're the grippiest things i've run! will definitely be using them again in future! They increased my drifting speed dramatically, possibly by 25km/h (actual speed)!!!

anyway couple a pics, for ya's and the car is off the road, getting some mid-season maintenance and checks done, all good though :P

I can't get over all the build up of gunk and oil.

Well atleast we can clean the bugger now and make it look pretty. For a drift car.

Now huddy, i have been thinking. If we just do wat we have been saying about the hicas and it shits itself we can just take the power steering pump from my old engine.

Im sure jarrod wont mind me taking back my stuff. HEHE

Let me know when your keen to get back into it.

Driving home was fun. *Limiter*

you probaly already sorted it but i usually just remove the back pump cover, remove the pump vanes, re assemble and block the rear outlet.... works a treat and cost nothing :thumbsup: ooh and takes 5 mins

ok ok been a little while

got the 2540 on and life is peachy...

had some time before my next outing in the car so decided to take it off the road for a little bit and just do all the things you say "i'll get around to it one day..." just annoying things like leaks from not being sealed properly, dodgy wiring etc...

started with

removal of ALL hicas lines, from under crossmember all the way down to the diff, and solenoid thing aswell

re-routed power steering cooler through reservoir (cheers showza)

new catch can and modified with bigger fittings and filter on top

fitted strobe lights into headlights

re-wired all gay wiring through split tubing and tidied it up a bit

removed intake plenum and painted top half black

replaced knock sensors (as old ones were faulty)

made myself a 3" ally intake pipe 45deg bend with silicon adaptors (cheers jarrod for welding on catch can return pipe)

made a speedo drive ( from 1400r !!! thanks)

modified and installed speedo drive

painted rocker covers white

painted cam cover whie

painted piping white

painted strut bar ends white

rb24 sticker ( niiiicceeee )

new silicon hosing

made brackets up for power steering cooler

made bracket up for oil cooler

secured intercooler again

removed oil cooler kit

re-sealed all oil cooler fittings (as they were all leaking before for over a year)

cleaned engine bay with degreaser

so yeah took a little bit of time to do, but needed it finished by today as i'm off to japan MONDAY !!! :laugh:

car runs! and put a smile on my face when i gassed it hehe!!!

speedo drive works!!! on dash and on power fc hand controller

knock sensors - unconclusive - will find out on dyno... but overall pretty happy with the results!

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
