Okay and here are some of the pics for the current stage of build.

-- Original plenum is removed, whilst i wait for the polisher to call me and tell me he has finished polishing my new intake! Once this is done i will be putting on the polished greddy style intake painting a few items and doing up the engine bay a little (that thread of engine bays is really inspiring) Cheers Guys Hame.

p.s my cam shaft has 'DE' written on it can some one fill me in?

i was told originally (while the car was coming from japan) that red/white is turbo and blue/white in non turbo........

Sorry for dragging old conversation... but if blue is NA, red is turbo, then what are all-silver badges?

Now guys i have another question i have an apexi power fc on the way for my engine managment.

Hey guys just a quick queiry, i just got my pfc..now i after some injectors & a tune.

So now i think all thats left is injectors which i need some advice on. My mods are in my signature, i am looking for over 300hp (hopefully) just wanted to ask some questions here:

1. what brand of injectors?

2. what cc rating for my designated HP (remember standard rail rb25 side feed)

3. reccomendations for tuner for my car?

Thanks guys! Hame

p.s i was thinking 700cc+?

Hey guys wow been a while since i updated this post.

i installed a walbro 500hp fuel pump, put in nismo 740cc injectors for the fuel system.

Also, have jsut put in pedders shocks and lowered king springs up front and super kyb shocks and tein springs in the rear (as the stock suspension was terrible).

Car was tuned by GT auto garage with limiter set to 7,000rpm and 10psi boost ran from the internatal wastegate, car got 196.2kw atw on a hun dyno.

future plan is to get a profec b II and up the boost and re-tune..

Also have fitted longer wheel studs up front with gts-t rotors and gts-t calipers i re-built and painted combined with a billet 12mm hub-centric spacer for the brakes to clear the wheels.

yeah good job with the build mate,

goos to see people sticking with their pride and joy instead of just selling it off to get something already done.

I must say tho, not a fan of the wheels. sorry.

Yeah no worries, the wheels look odd in photo's (better in person), another thing i need ot be getting soon is some rear tires as the poor old bags are bald as!

And thanks jet_20, i wouldn't fine it pleasing if i bought a car already completed, i like doing the work myself.

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
