Mate I'm still drooling waiting for this thing to be done!

I've been told from a reliable source and someone who's actually done some testing, that the std R32 GTR wing coupled with the Nismo lip spoiler actually does make a measurable difference btw....

the electrician was almost done, he reckons we should be able to fire it on saturday.

ill post some pics up. he had done engine bay, dash, and battery cable, relay and fuse box, was finishing powering up the ecu yesterday. might have to modify one harness for the tps switch and iac valve once new intake arrives as we are not sure where they are located. job is tidy, definately not autosalon quality but fuctional and easy to follow.

i wish it was as easy as just throwing the engine cover in there lol. been fun though. worst part is waiting for other people.

Always an excuse Stuart!

Mate, I started the engine swap into mine yesterday arvo.... she'll all in and running, was skiddin her up this arvo :rolleyes:

got car back today, wired and ready to start. Going to crank it for oil pressure later on tonight.

Still have to fit intake in order to fire it.

Took some pictures of ecu, fuse block and relay block. all fairly basic, mounted on passenger side floor.

once the car is running i will be able to cut some more of the chevy engine harness out as it is for the BCM and not necessary. Like mentioned earlier it is tidy and functional but not show quality. But at the end of the day its a track car. i might spend some time pinning the harness up later, once we know it all works.

lets not get excited, this could go pear shaped quickly. i guess once its running we can see if the decision was a good one. Riskings GTR carnage thread has given me hope lol. i guess they all look the same once they are busted up.

Looking good. I sometimes think I should've put an LS1 in my car...

nah, unfortunately didnt get much done. just made it a home in my garage, havent had it home before so spent most of the night organising the garage.

Everything go alright last night Stuart?

Not long now! :)

Looking great!

And with the wiring, the important thing is that it works... And anything is better than the origional wiring...

I am going to get my car from my cage builder this weekend, so I can finally work on the car again...

Good luck with the start up of the engine! :(

i bought one from JS Auto Imports, Unfortunately i didnt get to use it as it turned up after the car was painted. Risking bought it off me. It was well made. Not sure of the weight improvement. youll have to ask him.

Bootlid? I need a light weight one but cant find one...details my son, details ? :)

There's a bunch of 'glass ones around, but no lighter than stock from what I can gain from those selling them.

I removed the hinges and torsion bars (approx 3.5kg), cut out the support reo underneath up to the area where it meets the boot seal (approx 2.2kg), but kept the centre reo from the boot latch to the leading edge of the bootlid.

Then, pinned the front down, and used the original latch to hold down the back, mainly because with the spoilers on using two pins for the back would be difficult, and I couldn't be stuffed tryin to source T-handle spring latches. The cable will still unlock it, but I'm using a spare key Jinkai'd into place permanently in the boot lock as without the torsion bar spring tension the boot doesn't really "pop" open.

soon mate, i have a friend coming around to upload a VY Commodore tune into it and adjust injector trim to suit the 42pounders. Also has to eliminate the anti-theft security stuff.

Once that is done it should be good to go. I have had a small set-back with the intake but should get it today. It still may require milling as the heads and block have been. Will trial fit it and mill if necessary. Obviously ensuring the port matching is perfect is important on a NA engine. Then some plumbing to the new fuel rails. In a perfect world that should happen this week-end, but we know how things go.

How are the car going?

Got it started yet? Still waiting for videos of the car running.. need some inspiration for my car... :banana:

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
