who remembers the original thread on this bulid!? I moved overseas shortly after starting it, must be well over a year since i started the rebuild, but after countless $$$$$ its finally one piece!! Just awaiting the nismo plenum from greenline and the finishing touches of the assembly before the engine dyno-run-in/tune. Turbo is from the new Turbonetics GT-K series, i believe one of the first to land in Aus, supposedly a bit more huff than a TO4Z, we will shortly see...

Cubes, i still have that ex-honed mani for the gts!, will resume the re-testing in the GTS-t once this engine is bolted back in the GTR :)

Little bit more info on this exhaust manifold please? ie. maker and price bracket?

I like the angled windows machined into the comp cover. No doubt it will sound like an F1-11 on take off.

The purple paint job looks funky but makes me think of the purple TellyTubby :laugh:

Thanks guys, its been a long time coming.. i looked back to when i started getting parts just after the engine failed, it was 2 years ago!

Careless, i dont have a full buildup thread, i may have posted some pics of the crank during the early stages of the build. Once its all done ill post some specs.

Dale FZ1, its just your garden variety X-Force manifold :yucky: Apparently improved over the initial ones that cracked easily, supposedly increased strengthening and material thickness. Cost was less than a grand, car will hardly be used, so we figured we'd give it a go.

rb26s13, spot on, its an 850.

Btw the purple is from the old engine, its getting changed :)

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
