Engine In, Engine Out... That's What It's All About!


Recommended Posts

Well well, here we go with the pictures! I have video too, but will need to load them when I get home! Andy is in meetings all day today, but i'm sure he'll have something to say when he gets home!

It started at 8am. We rocked up to the house of a mate of Slides in Molendinar (Gold Coast). Promptly parked the car half in/half out of the garage, and started to pull shit off.

I spend the first few hours sitting on a pile of tyres just watching, taking many pictures...

After awhile, it was time to hook up the chain and rip the big girl's heart out!

Time to work on the engines while they're out, changing injectors, turbo, manifold etc...

Aaaaaaaand ofcourse the panadol needed for slide to continue to operate as a human... and my shoe, and the bucket of oil which I stepped in

Well folks, that's it. MASSIVE MASSIVE thanks to Aaron for all the work you did (more steak coming your way soon pal), and huge thanks to Chris for letting us use his place (hope your dad didn't go too rank about the oil spillages :laugh:). Big thanks to Jarrad and Brett (?) for helping out too! Jarrad you're a machine!

Anna xoxo

No worries anna happy to help. Sorry I had to leave but looks like you got it all done in no time

well done

Hey, no worries, it was a great surprise to have you there! And that one bolt that the boys couldn't get done up... well, it took me 45 minutes... but I did it! w00t!

Looks awesome... can't wait to see the car again... :)

In just 20 short days, supra james... not long now :)

well done anna

what was the reason for an engine change?

ummm, well... there's a lot of reasons Andy decided to do it... Main one being he didn't want to be at a track event in some other state, blow his engine, and have to pay hundreds to have it towed home, then thousands for a rebuild. The engine itself was several thousand cheaper than buying the parts and having it all done at a later stage. Other reason is that it's been runnin kinda shitty for a while, so instead of waiting for disaster to strike, and it costing more, we figured it'd be best to do it now, while it's still fine, and get more money for it.

I don't know exact details of all that has been done, but i'm sure Andy would love to brag *ahem* I mean, fill you all in later :wave:

I must admit I was doubtful but when I saw the cast of this epic, I was sure it would end well. Jarrad made good time to get to the photoshoot as well. Ingenius use of mulch saw him get up a very tall gutter in his very low car!!

Can't wait to hear about the whole process on Tuesday night at dinner!!

ahahaha that's awesome! Nice work! Oh yeh, andy can't wait to tell everyone about it all :wave:

Next time Im going to bring a ramp

OMG yes! And some better jacks. The ones we used were shit :) AND then later on after they took it for a drive, realised that they'd forgotten to bolt it to the engine mounts! Ahahaha!

I need a new body.

All those who doubted obviously dont know what cripple power is.

Having said that hospital stay last night was sooooo good. lol

I didnt get to do a DADAAAAAH style finished pose doh!!

Im glad my baby could go to someone i know :wave:

CLUB FORGED FTW

so let me get this straight , u bought slide's engine with forged internals, put it into your car while yours is being rebuilt bigger and stronger?so u can sell it then.....

:)

The other one will be sold as is (I think I found the reason it was running crap) They dont come much stronger than the engine in there now :O

Wiseco forged pistons 20' oversize, Eagle I beam rods with arp2000 bolts, ARP head studs, ARP main bolts, full gasket kit, Gates racing timing belt, Commetic metal head gasket, King Race main and big end bearings, N1 oil pump, N1 Water Pump, Nismo Thermostat, NGK tensioner and idler bearings, machined balanced cryo treated crank, fully serviced head with replaced valves, lifters all machined to perfection, built by me.

There is probably more i have forgotten.

But it is definately the shit.....

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
