yeah it's a fair bit of stuffing around (too me around 12 hours all up believe it or not - planning, pulling the car apart, metal fabrication, fitting, soldering/wiring, carbon covering, put the car back together), but well worth it in the end. Not bad for a first attempt I reckon.

Looks like this weekend is the mod-a-thon for my R34 if anyone want to come over and help/play/watch .... GT2530 turbo install, new radiator, new oil cooler, new trans cooler, new thermo fan and other bits and pieces.

WOW Andrew, Getting a few nice goodies installed there over the weekend! Will be interesting to see how she goes after that 2530 bolts on! I would come and help "watch" and "help" BUT im a little unsure what you mean by "play" tho....... :) and i'm at the track all weekend! Sorry!

no worries Darren .... yeah I am not after anything too spectacular - will be happy with around 230-240rwkw if all goes to plan. I won't have a PowerFC running it (since it is an auto) which is a bit of a shame, but we will see what the SAFCII can do.

Has anyone fitted a fuel pump and fuel reg. before? I haven't, but am gonna give it a shot. If I remember correctly when I played with my S15's 040, the pump still had tons of fuel pressure in it even when the battery was disconnected. I am not sure how to get around this.

lol Nick - so you work at a car retailer, yet are useless mechanically? Nice one! :)

Awesome Andrew, that sounds great! Where'd you pick up the new turbs from if you don't mind me asking. She should definately have a bit more pull once you're finished this weekend. Take it you aren't going on the BSM cruise then? Pity, would have loved to seen her in action :)

i work behind a desk doing paperwork all day,

If you need an extra pair of hands and have patience let me know :)

Luke, it's my brother-in-laws ex-turbo. His R33 kind of died (see attached pics - stationary at the lights and some noob hit him from behind at 60km/h and pushed him into the car in front even though he as hard on the brankes) about a month back. He bought it second hand, but it has no shaft play and he was running 240rwkw with a conservative tune and relatively low boost.

Yeah it's going to suck to miss the cruise, but I have been wanting to get this gear on my car for ages and this weekend seems like my only free time. There will always be another cruise.

fyi David has just bought a Silver 1997 S3 R33GTR from Melbourne - damn it is a sweet car!!!

haha was just stirring you Nick :) .... but feel free to come over if you have nothing better to do.

I have lots of little fiddly jobs to do too like the oil breather tank/kit, and the radiator breather/air remover kit to fit too. Not hard jobs, but time consuming and fiddly.

Has anyone fitted a fuel pump and fuel reg. before? I haven't, but am gonna give it a shot. If I remember correctly when I played with my S15's 040, the pump still had tons of fuel pressure in it even when the battery was disconnected. I am not sure how to get around this.

Yeah I have. You unplug the electrics to the pump and then crank the car over with your key, de-pressurises the system. Then disconnect the return fuel line I think, and let it drain back into the tank. Pumps easy hope you have a fairly empty tank tho!

FPR is even easier if its a non-adjustable one, easy as pie!

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
