Finally , all the parts are here and the workshop is ready !

I had a 3/4 mongrel when my Skyline went in for the works - But this is different.

Learning from the past builds, parts, bits, pieces and workshops has taught me a lot.

Can't say that I have it 100% perfect this time - but has to be better than the last try !

So now I have a 7/9 mongrel :D

I'm pretty excited -

3-4 weeks I should have it back.

Not going to speculate about peak and average power, but I am hoping for some good numbers ! And then some good times to back it up.

Geez, I havent been to WSID for ages - Can't wait for a test run !

It's going in to Race Solutions / HitMan for the works - Maroun from RS will do all the mechanical work and fabrication - and Matt will do the Haltech install and tune !

Cheers !

ohhhhh B man I should see your car there then !!

My cars going into to be tuned by Matt next week or so :no:

My manifold just got posted today so my mechanic should have it on monday !!!!

All other parts are ready....

Maroun will take good care of your car and he is an awesome fabricater!! nice choice :D

Need help urgently .....

The 1.00 AR rear housing on the HKS T04Z is too small...

I need a 1.15 or 1.32 housing from Garrett.

If anyone wants to swap outright or I can buy outright - let me know !

Cheers,

B-Man

Nothing on the internals yet.

But when I do it won't be dramatic. SCR Seals. Maybe a mild extended port.

The motor is pretty fresh - and the 20B flows heaps enought to spin the turb. So I'll just leave it for now until - (a) something breaks and ((B) fundage is a bit better.

PS - 2Rismo ! I have been convinced to trick the auto. I'm sure you'll be happy about that. Cosmo's share gearboxes with Nissans ! ha ha - Same as a 300ZX. I'v e been put in touch with a place that can work magic on these things.

Something will break eventually with a T04 on a stocko 20B :yes:

Get some nice big porting and some tougher seals put in, and some extra dowelling and up the booooooost :(

P.S. Autos are for poofs :laugh:

Good man! I'm guessing BMS/Wollongong Autos or Powershift. The box should be an RE403A yeah?

Not sure on the details mate - but Maroun from Race Solutions has a mate that has done many 300ZX boxes - I think he said that they are Jatco ??? No sure but.

Apparently he can set them up for the best of both worlds - Full manualised auto with steering wheel shift buttons , fast changes - And then flick a switch and can go back to the feel of std auto.

2800 or 3000 RPM stall converter means that I will have boost straight off the line. Therefor more average power to the ground than any manual. This offsets by far any drivetrain losses of the auto.

I still don't quite understand how it all works in terms of the stally slipping etc - but I wil ldo some more research - As I don't like putting things in my car that I don't understand how they work - ha ha.

Should be a beast with the 1.32 - Now looking at 400kw at the wheels - then more if engine re done and max the boost.

fingers crossed - no b-manning !

Ye of little faith Drunkan !

300ZX Autos are RE403A's i'm pretty sure. Some interchangable parts with Skyline and WRX boxes (RE401A) but overall a bit bigger and stronger.

Nice that you can still use the steering wheel for shifts - B-Man + 400kW launch = OMG!!! :P

I can speak very highly of SCR seals too! Webby does a great job on them and I've seen them take a huge battering. Cheap too!

Jumbo - had a big think about it - and I will have the TX3 turbo project for the manual fun ! So sticking with the auto onthe Cozzy now !

Fair call.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • 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.
