Nothing special

Bloody autosalon car....

With the times you were getting at MDTC you will be into the low 9's next time at wakefield if you drive it the same way.

I'm back at wakefield tomorrow, hope to crack a 10 for it's last NA outing there. Should be fun.

new engine, almost ready

Oh well here it is.

It started as a nice street car when I bought it albeit with a massive body kit...which is now safely tucked away under my parents house, so its back to a standard non M-spec front bar, no skirts and the little drift lip/wing/spoiler

Split an oil cooler line 2 weeks after I got it and junked the original motor, so got it rebuilt and It lasted 2 years before breaking a piston ring.

So now its getting a standard bottom end I bought for 200 bucks.

while im was doing this I thought id get a few goodies for it.

Its pretty basic for a R33 Chassis wise consisting of Jap Spec Tein Super Streets, Adjustable rear upper arms, Adjustable Caster Rods, Tomei Hicas Lock Thingy, RDA slotted rotors on the front with QFM pads in there now, Used to have APexi Pads which were by far better but I cant seem to find them anymore.

Engine/Driveline Wise Its got an Ebay exhaust manifold, 38mm gate, and a KKK K27 Turbo, Greddy Copy Plenum, OS Giken Twin Plate Clutch (the good 600hp one) 50mm Radiator, Oil cooler and relocation kit, Used to have a Power FC Pro...but I sold it, so its back to standard Injectors, AFM and ECU untill funds allow. So no track time untill thats all sorted :mellow:

Wheels are 17x8 URAS NS-01s all around with average firestone tyres...mind you the went ok at wakie when I was there last.

Finally it has a "drift" brand seat which does ok but sits too high for my lanky ass.

So Semis are on the list aswell and so is a better drivers seat and a some what less ricer interior :)

mmmmmmm nice turbo Dave, it looks familiar. was'nt the one on the R32 internal gated???

lol, can't weld plastic to metal steveo! and I wouldn't want to use the shaft weleded as a shifter. gearnobs just screw on my man.. there are a few getting around. snap-on screwdriver handle gear knobs. they even make snap-on screw driver handle keys. so it looks like your starting your car with a screwdriver.

and yes the snap-on screwdriver gearknobs and keys are the height of cool! I might grab some next time I see 'em. :) I'll even buy you one for Christmas steve and we can weld it to your shifter on boxing day. :P that's the kind of guy I am.

You cant weld plastic to metal? Wow, news to me :D

I meant cut off the metal shaft half way and weld big man

So we've had dildo knobs, screwdriver knobs, whats next?

lol it will neva live down its autosalon beautifulness :)

Not fussed about beauty just how it goes!

Yeah i was pretty chuffed with the 43.7 @ MDTC (keeping Ant honest) but i totally agree with it being capable of sub 1:10's... i know it can do it easily as the 1:10 i was doing was just so so terrible... brake shudder, +5mm toe out on rear (stock toe arms are fubar'd) and only able to get 3 laps out of it before it became undrivable... but thats motorsport and i know next time its a 1:09, or if it is a special day.. a 1:08 sumsing.... :P

Let me know who the silvia goes/went today!!!

mmmmmmm nice turbo Dave, it looks familiar. was'nt the one on the R32 internal gated???

same turbo, new housing :) i am not going through those boost control issues again.

So anyway, despite a horrible understeering pig of a car at the start of the day and me thinking i'd be lucky to be doing 13's i was surprised to see a best time (freak lap) of 1:10.3 or so from a previous best of 11.7. Not bad for the addition of some rear camber and a few poly bushes.

Added a bit of front toe out, dropped the front tyre pressures to the point where it was feeling pretty good and managed to get it to 10.1 with a lot of 10 second laps strung together. My mate was also driving and managed to crack a 9.9 something in it during the last session the bastard.

It really needs a bit more front camber but i just didn't have the adjustment left in it to get any more so it would still understeer horribly in a couple of situations but was reasonably happy everywhere else once i figured out how to get it to turn in.

No prob, if you have a vin I have fast so I should be able to get the number if you dont have it at hand.

Ross

Hey Ross, I've decided just to grab the whole pump assembly from the states mate as it's quick and not too expensive. Thanks againfor your offer though, very much appreciated! Did you go ahead with you rewiring kit in the end?

Oh, and good news, engine is apart and all is well. Thank fark for that!

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
