All installed:

A few people have messaged me regarding the utilization of ca18 pistons and the deck height; well here it is and the deck wasn't adjusted

The dial guage says they sit about 1 thou proud of the deck surface.

Hope you guys like the updates!

Picture 3.

Is one of your pistons the wrong way around?

Just the valve relielfs look wrong opposite to each other.....left piston valve notches on the upper side in the pic come close to the edge compared to the bottom notches, piston on the right is the opposite orinatation.

If the top of the pic is the passager/hot side, id say the left piston needs to be spun 180 degrees.

Or am i just going blind in my old age? :)

That is a good f**king spot, it is stuff like this that makes me so nervous about ever considering building my own engine, even if it does state the writing is on exhaust side, it is completely plausible that they stuffed it up.

Going away from the OEM CAS?

Wondering if going with a chopper wheel on the harmonic balancer would offer any advantages.

Give us a bit more info on this one.

Not sure why I can't paste and quote on my laptop.

Below are some logs off my own car from before a crank trigger and after.

Nissan CAS.

Thank god there is a cover over the timing belt. It flops around like a pogo stick. Out of sight out of mind :D.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
