Mine used to be Ford "Blueprint" its now Ford "Shockwave" due to the fact a friend of mine bought a ute in this colour.

What colour is yours Shane ? is it the same or just a close match ?

IMHO the blue plenum is a bit too much (ceramic chrome looks better and is funtional)...but to each their own :P

mine's Ford Blueprint Blue, goes very well with the Puprple Pearl engine bay :)

The blue plenum doesnt look to bad actually, i've also replaced all the bolts u can see with stainless ones, and polished a few bits so it all goes together quite nicely :glare:

Will see if i chrome or paint the Nismo plenum when it comes, but this'll do for the meantime

Well...this must mean YOU stole the colour from me...as mine was "Blueprint" years ago.

The Nismo plenum was a waste of cash...you should have bought a real one.

  • 3 weeks later...

Thats right...decided to put the engine back in the GTR.

Car is currently at Hypertune ( www.hypertune.net ) getting intercooler pipework, coolant header tank, coolant overflow tank and catchcan fabricated. As well as fitting the monster 102mm throttle body. Late this week the car will head to Croydon's ( www.croydonracingdevelopments.com ) for priming, starting, tuning and run-in.

This will be a big relief to have the car back up and running. Racing should not be too far away.

A big thanks to Glen Laws for all his assistance as well as Ben Creswick and the boys at Hypertune for all their work.

Will keep you posted.

fark yes paul *drools*

i bet you cant wait to jump in and go for a drive!

:domokun:

yeah im getting a very itchy right foot.

p.s. the pipe joints are only temp...nice new silicone ones to go on.

Looks mean Paul. Is it still on track for Wednesday's Anzac meet?

no...unfortunately wont be ready...no time to tune and run in...test and tune for Nitro Champs may be first outing.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
