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 :)

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.

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
