i'd probably manually form the 6" pipe part - as its probably difficult/expensive to buy (especially that small quantity) - Cheers for the info though :D

Did you powdercoat or paint the black pieces - fuel rail, cas bracket, inlet cam gear, strut brace mounts?

Fair enough. My mechanic's shop is next to to a engineering shop and we used one of the off cuts :).

Some black pieces are powder coated, others are painted. Basically anything that had parts that could melt were painted; this includes the cam cover, CAS, inlet cam gear, etc. Parts like the strut brace brackets, power steering reservoir, fuel rail, oil cooler mounts, and all other brackets, etc were powder coated.

All the charcoal colour items are powder coated as well as the red cam covers.

I painted all the cam gears etc, but the clear cam cover, purchased from PSI Parts, didn't fit and fouled on the inlet VCT bolts. He tried to claim my cam cover backing plate sat 3mm further back than normal; funny how the standard cover has no issues with fitment and clearances. >_<

I did not claim that at all, I even personally fitted your cover on a standard RB25 which had no fitment issues. Disagreeance aside, we have just finished another batch that have had a few minor modifications (one of which was to make the VCT bulge slightly larger to allow for NEO engines).

Mine fitted perfect on the rb25det >_<

Dale PM sent, prefer to discuss in private, but i stand by what i wrote.

MintR33: Pretty much. I know we had to gently bend one of the tubes, coming out of the reservoir, but that was more to do with clearing the turbo. The lines did reach without modification, but obviously do not sit in the natural position, but this was fine as the lines are still not kinked.

I took a quick photo tonight of my engine bay, I had the plenum, crossover pipe and rocker covers polishes, then I chromed the injector caps and rail as well as the timing belt cover. Add a few silicone hoses and its starting to look better.

Only problem with this process is the more you do, the more you see can also be done. I’ll start on the left hand side of the engine next.

Hi 4door sleeper,

Could you tell me if the Greddy Washer bottle uses both front and rear washer motors? and does it bolt in as per the standard unit?

Yes the bottle has spots for 2 motors (had to use my old ones as it didnt come with new ones)

It mounts (slides down) onto a bracket they provide, not sure if they used exosting bolt holes or had to drill them.

Since I couldnt edit my earlier post, here is another picture of my engine bay from the other side

Excellent, if what you're saying is that it's a bolt in replacement thats what I need for my GReddy plenum

I guess it depends on your piping setup. As the 'GTR' style piping allows the washer bottle to stay in it's current location. Other people have relocated the washer bottle to underneath the guard. The other option might be a catch tank and washer bottle setup in one, similar to that of the RIPS version in NZ.

I have since spoken to Dale from PSI Parts and he has kindly agreed to exchange my cam cover, once i have the time to send the original one back to him.

I have since removed my frustrated post as i now realise PSI Parts are an honest business.

Dale i know it has been a while since we last spoke, but i haven't as yet had the time to post the cover, sorry it took me so long to find where i had posted my comments.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
