Im still not giving it full on power runs as im still on a straight mineral oil at this stage. I saw 150hp on about 10psi at 3000rpm lol. Keep in mind its not tuned and nothing is setup yet so thats a random figure just thrown out. Im expecting decent numbers though even from the stock fuel system. Hopefully roughly 320hp before i do the rest of the work and maybe as high as 500hp with the other bits completed on pump fuel.

Tonight i fixed a leak thats been bugging me which i was very happy about. However everytime i fix something i seem to find another teething problem. A cv boot has 3 little nicks in it from when the engine wasnt in the car and the shaft was bolted in to stop the bearing separating. Im guessing its been cut by a weld dag or similiar on the cross member. Bloody hell. Im going to try and seal them with the correct stuff as they are very very small and if i clean them up well i think i have a good chance. Saturday morning i will be doing a complete wheel alignment at my old work. Something that will be great to get done and know everything is right and not chewing out the tyres etc.

More soon guys,

Deren

Hey guys,

A quick update. We have tuned the car for run in on 14psi. With a very conservative tune it produced 340hp. Keeping in mind its still runing stock cams, fuel system, intercooler etc. Its alot of fun with that power on the street. Great off boost driveability. Ive still only done just over 500km's since starting it so once its done a few more km's i'll drop out the mineral oil and run a full synthetic with a harder tune on more boost. With no more mods id expect to see around 370-380hp. My final goal would be around 450-500hp.

i remember reading the start of this years ago deren. i just finished reading it start to finish again. all 32 pages. i recently sold my 32 so i could move to the UK, i had owned it for 3 and a half years, and i was absolutely gutted when i sold it, i still get sad thinking about it now. after reading about your build, i have decided to get into some more debt when i get back to oz and buy another skyline. thanks for your inspiration mate.

cheers adam

ps if your still in briz in a few years time we should go for a drive!

Hey guys, thanks for your compliments. It makes it all worthwhile to get the recognition from you all. Sorry to hear you had to sell your 32. It's not a nice feeling parting with a beloved posession. Im up for a drive :)

Good job buddy, Just wait till you reach your final goal the near 500hp mark, o0o0o0 lotsa fun i tell ya :)

hi darren

its been long long long time i been on forums and come check up on your post lol. recently decided i start a full rebuild my self of the 32 that i wrecked and selling the 33 lol i love the 33 and miss it allot because of what i done but still am excited to get the 32 on road be lots of fun and take long time, but overall i am happy your baby is on the road now and pulling decent power and your goal sounds great,

plus when are you going to come back to melbourne :thumbsup: still waiting for you so we can hang out and chat, lots has happen i try talking to u through instant msg when i can

cheers

Bruno

Hey buddy, good luck with your build. It makes it all worthwhile when you get to fire it up and drive it for the first time. Still not sure when i'll be back to Melbourne. Id like to return to live but i just dont know when its going to be possible at the moment. Time will tell i guess.

Deren

Yep, and take it from experience. Don't rush things, and be sure that when you're refinishing parts, the best results will come from the best preparation. There's quite a number of things I'd do a lot difference now in hindsight. Good luck on the project Bruno, if you take inspiration and guidance from what Deren's done you'll have a sure fire winner.

Cheers

Brendan

thanks guys, i take all guidance because am in need of it, im not sure aboiut few things, i start a thread soon with lots of photos of how it is now and see what people think of my ideas, my project is a no rusher either

Cool. I normally meet up with 1 or 2 mates on Thursday night when I'm back from site for dinner and maybe car wash at Sunnybank if you're keen. I'll text you when we're going (got friends coming from overseas so wouldnt be this trip). Will probably fix it for 30th.

Hi Deren, SILLBEER is still travelling along. Not doing the daily commute in it anymore since I started working from home. But is getting used when I need to take the kids on the weekly respective extra curricular activities. Paint isn't holding up as well as I'd hoped though, the old purple paint underneath is causing problems. In hindsight I should have taken it right back to baremetal. Will be doing Powercruise here in late September so really looking forward to that...which reminds me I need to put my forms in.

deren,

just read 20+ pages of this. about to start on a 32 gts4. who did your spray work? did they do any panel(main body) replacement?

mine has rust in a few places.

I left you a message (two phone calls.) when you get time give me a call back. I would like to chat with you about your build and who your nissan delaer was that supplied the bits.

ta!

When you got your panel work done did you have to get the under body sills straightened out? I find on my GTR there are major indents where snapper heads have jacked it up on the past. Did you do bare metal respray? If so was it soda blast or paint stripper?

Cheers

Rob

PS this has also inspired me to rebuild my GTR.

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
