SAD update, just recieved a call from the grease monkey, car won't be ready till tomorrow, but it will "definatly" be ready tomorrow, so i will let you all know how everything is going....the suspense is being stretch, glad to hear a lot of you are keen on the build :( cheers guys, hame

Well today SHOULD be the day and just for you 'Yawn' and you others interested, i will be letting you know how everything went etc, wat was done etc and all the rest, love it if i could go get the car now but that doesn't look like it'll be ready till this afternoon. So yeah lets all hope things go well, n i'll let u know how i go with a hairdryer rb series lol for the last four months i been driving around in small auto's etc man the feel of power, actaully forced induction, is going to blow me away i bet. thks for the interest guys will up date soon (may be tomorrow as i work tonight)

HAME

Well guys car is back, sorry for the wait i actually picked it up last night (8:45pm), since then i have given her a bit of a run in, took her up mt.cootha etc gave her some challanges to get use to the new power, she goes really really nice :) So i'll give you a run down of whats in her. the rb25det engine fitted with a HKS ssq BOV, Hybrid FMIC with allow piping, apexi dual pannel forced air pod filter, gts't ECU, gts-t 5 speed gear box, new tailshaft. So i am happy with the way she is running now, the responce is great!! They had to grind away some of the front bar to fit the piping in, but it looks an absolute treat, also fan was timmed to fit the hybrid style piping.

All was good in the process apart from the speedo seemed to be incorrect (well it definatly is) so i need to call him about that tomorrow and let him know. other wise here is a couple of pictures i got of her (not the best of quality but more will come soon. it is so good to have her home considering havn't driven her since 30th june!. I still have my apexi full auto timer to install which will be done soon. hope to see some of u out on cruises soon etc. ENJOY!

future modifcation will probably include:

- Apexi Power FC

- t4 turbo (in the next 10 years!!)

- Tidy up of the interior (kustomise)

- Greddy Plemunm

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
