Ok the new injectors,valve springs and engine mounts arrived.But it looks like i have wrong mounts :banana:

The ARP exhaust manifold bolts also arrived,and finally that completes all the ordering for the build.

Now its all the small things i have to the running around for.

Things like a universal mount for the Greddy oil catch can.

Getting the rocker covers painted.

Working out the lengths for all the braided lines.

I have to clean the engine bay :/ im trying to think of a way to clean it without removing all the lines and hoses.As its not that dirty im thinking of spraying the front clips and fire wall with some sort of cleaning solution,letting it sit for 2mins and hosing it all off.Then hopping in with a rag to get all the stubborn stuff.

What would you recommend? Quick detailer? Maybe something a bit harsher?

gurny? :banana:

if you've got a compressor just hook up some hot water mixed with concentrated degreaser (which you can get from bunnings) into one of those spray can things you can get as an attachment. would probably be better for getting the grease off cause you can mix degreaser into it. thats what i do.

Once it's getting reassembled and you've worked out exact dollar signs it'll come together and you'll start to feel great :blink:

I'd love to do what you're doing, looks exciting and engrossing. You'll be having some serious fun when it's complete :)

Love the pics. Keep em coming.

Dont work out the exact dollars; it ruins the enjoyment!

OK all, today everything was delivered to Paul. Top bloke :P and was even lucky enough go for a blast in the GTR. Which was insane! Its not everyday you get to ride in a genuine 9 sec GTR :D

BP98 with 6 deg total timing removed @ 15 psi and 1/2 throttle is not really the way to show off the car...

but...

im sure you got the idea how nuts it is to drive. :D

Just another small update.

When i bought the 3037 a few months back i noticed it had a 4 inch diameter inlet,and thought i would have to either put a 4inch step down to 3inch silicone joiner on the turbo or try and hide the joiner in a custom CAI with the AFM,as the AFM diameter is 3inch.Neither of them tickled my fancy so...

It just so happends, i managed to get my hands on a Haltech E11v2.

So my beloved Power FC and Z32 AFM are for sale.Look in the for sale section for the thread :laugh:

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
