Hi after buying a Freshly rebuilt R32 GTR about six months ago i had an unfortunate thing happen to me when the oil pump failed after 800kms of driving which i was shattered about,

But finally this week my car will be ready to pick up. Its been a long six months for me but at least i have had the GTST and 180sx to keep me happy while its been away but none of them give me the feeling the R does.

I have fully rebuilt it again my mods include:

40 thou over CP Forged pistons

Rev Con Rods

ARP Stud Bolts

Linished and Balanced crank etc.

Race Bearings

N1 oil Pump

Jun Crank Collar

Tomei Sump Baffle

Tomei Oil Restrictor

External Oil Return mod from Head to Sump

R33 GTR N1 Turbos

ARC Radiator Guide

Os Giken cam Gears

Hks Dumpipes

4inch turbo back exhaust

Magic Cat

Denso 650cc Injectors (Not intalled Yet)

Bosch 044 Fuel Pump

Apexi Power Fc

Torque Split Controller

Blitz DSBC Id3 boost Controller

Greddy Oil Catch Can (Not Installed Yet)

Thats all i can think of at the moment but i know there is more.

I have a few questions for people that have been in the same boat than me..

Is there anything else that i should do when to it when i get it back this weekend?

And how long do i have to run it in for?

Does Anyone know if these Denso 650cc injectors are direct fit? if not are they going to be difficult to install?

What oil should i be using to run it in?

Thinking about going to racepace to get tuned since i have never heard a bad thing about racepace, How much do you think it will cost to get tuned?

Since the standard oil pump failed before now i am paranoid about reving it thats why i wanted to try and sort out all the bad oil problems that the GTR has. Is there anything else you would do to it to keep it reliable and keep it from happening again? or any advice?

Heres some pictures of my Engine Bay if anyone is interested...

thanks for all your help and look foward to seeing everyone at the next SAU event as im looking to use this car for track and street. Once again thanks everone

Exciting!

There's mixed stories about running cars in.. Most people say just baby it ( under 3k rpm for 1,000km) but, I've also read another article on how you should drive it as normal, boosting it etc because, it runs the rings or something something in I have no idea what I'm talking about and I've lost the article..

But the main point is that the article insisted on driving it as normal.

Yeah i think i will drive it normally and just not try to rev it to much and see how that goes, The only thing that annoys me are the r33 N1 turbos that will be restricting me!! I bought them when i first got the car and now they will be holding me back but im hoping to make close to 300rwkw on them i think a few other members have. So contemplating taking them off and putting some bigger ones on. But i havent driven it with them so i will have to wait and see.

looks the goods buddy, i no how excited u must be feeln.

although i havnt waited as much as u i 2 will be gettn my car back after a good 3-4 months.

it makes all that time waiting worth it sometime....haha

wat sorta power figur u expectn?

was the failed oil pump a n1 oil pump aswell?!?!? thought they were good for the rb26 rev limit, otherwise ur next step up is a JUN oil pump($2000+)

racepace is defiently a good decision buddy, the guys a god wen it comes to RB26s. give a call, although he does charge a premium price, his advice is golden.

Edited by R34NRG

The Oil pump that failed was standard so since i needed a new one thought i would get an N1 pump and yes i fitted a Jun crank collar. While the crank was out i wasn't going to take any shortcuts.

My mechanic said dont worry about the Head to Sump Return but i said for my own piece of mind i would like to do it, So i hassled him and we did it.

Yeah im flipping up between racepace and RE customs just trying to run the engine in ATM then i will have to get it booked it somewhere and fit the injectors at the same time. My only problem is i dont have a hand controller on the power fc to adjust the fuel settings when i fit them so trying to figure out some way around it.

I'm hoping for 300rwkw with these Turbos but already planning to change them by the end of the year and pump out alot more but for now i should be happy.

make sure you let us all know how the tune goes, i am looking at a car that has these turbos and i wold be interested to see what they make! The car i am looking at only runs 12psi and is making a bit over 230awkw...thats nice but i want to know what will happen at 18 - 20 psi

Yeah im interested myself i beleive a few people have made between 280rwkw - 300rwkw. So i will let you know shouldnt be to long. I so wish they were r34 N1's so i could make that bit more power.

Scotty,

The Bay looks the goods bud. Clear Cam cover does look gd. I will get around to doing mine. But who knows, we have to get some pics done together. Black & blue will look great at dusk. :laugh:

Cheers justin i will have to come past your work one day soon, and we will go for a cruise.

clear cam covers a must, looks alot better than before.

Thanks everyone for your kind replys.

man that looks sweet! when will it all be ready by?

Car is back now so im just going to fit a couple more parts run it in and get it tuned, Then take it to the drags and see how it goes.

Then probably start looking for a different turbo setup still undecided whether to get some twin garrett 2860-5's or a Single T04Z!!

Decisions Decisions....

I would probably prefer to keep the twin setup so i dont get hassled by the police to much.

    • 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.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
