a little more progress on the fuel rail, trial fitted them again today, just need a little more off to fit perfect. The good thing is the bonett closes.

Also fitted some steering stops as the 235s foul on the castor rod on lock, so these are adjusted to stop this.

Stuart,,,it's looking fantastic tiger.

Are you going to make heat shields for the side pipes,,,you wouldn't wanna burn that pretty paint.

What makes me laugh is how many Skyline owners and racers love the sound of a V8. Secretly deep down we all love the roar,,,don't we boys and girls.

Neil.

not sure if i want an audience as my driving stinks and it might break down LOL.

Im aiming for John Bostons track day next month.

Hi mate great work on the project this is a weapon of a car.When is the first outing for this car as I would like to turn up to watch it at the track?

I cannot believe how nice the exhaust looks - cannot wait to hear this thing come to life for the first time.

Clinton and I will have to come over and check out the steering stops that you have made as we will have to build the same for his car.

Had a productive evening tonight, Fabricated a IAC (idle air control) to suit the new manifold. Butchered the standard throttlebody to do it but hey. Just have to plumb it up.

Also fabricated the breather can and radiator overflow. Ill do all the plumbing 2morro.

Also finished the fuel rails, can plumb them and fit pressure guage.

yeh so far so good. finished all the plumbing tonight and started the door trims and parcel shelf.

told you those Jim Berry clutches are a good thing :thumbsup:

Looks great Stu!

Still on track for Oran Park?

Oh, and the clutch is awesome. :)

yes it runs............whoooohoooo.

It actually went accidently. We primed the fuel system to set fuel presure and check for leaks, and i thought i would give it a crank just to see if we had enough battery and it popped. i thought SH*T, THIS IS GOING TO FIRE....so i cranked it again and off she went. Only ran it for thirty seconds or so but sounded the business and all the vitals were there. ie oil pressure etc.

Had some ECU connection issues as the computer wouldnt let us talk to it, so going to try another one on monday. Think this one may have been security locked. but overall very happy. :wub:

Just talked to stu, He kicked it over but I was mega busy.

Had some issues with the ECU but it still started.

Gunna get it on the Dyno and then get some video of it. Should be good.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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.
