OK all,

Throttle cable is done,tail shaft is on and radiator ect is in,we even put oil in it. Have a small issue with the plenum to fix but thats about it.

For the first time in 5 months the car is off the stands and sitting on its tyres. :)

I have booked the car in for the week after next to get all the piping done.

Plenum problem now fixed,and installed the Greddy catch can.

Just got to hook up all the vacuum lines and put the bonnet back on.

Also added finishing touches like the Nismo oil cap and Nismo radiator cap.

Im getting rather excited now as i can see the light at the end of the tunnel, i even spent 10mins sitting in it getting my driving position just right lol

No doubt the night before it gets tuned it will feel like the night before xmas when you were a little tacker.

Yeh, and ill feel like a worried parent when its out in the shop for a few days lol

I do have a little concern about my new clutch.

I had an Xtreme cushion button before,now its a Jim Berry custom jobbie.

With the clamp load now being 3700lbs its feels sooo much lighter than the Xtreme one.

We have bled the clutch but it only improved it ever so slightly, so im beginning to think that its the way its suppose to be.

Just a bit weird knowing a have a monster clutch but it feels almost standard compared to the last one.

lol...

I went from a 1.2 tonne Xtreme clutch to the heaviest I believe 1.2tonne Exedy and the exedy felt like a feather compared to the super heavy Xtreme.

However; I felt a fairly new Extreme that was around the 1tonne mark and that felt fairly light so maybe it was just their old school clutches that were super heavy on the foot.

Dont forget, as clutches wear, they become heavier, thats why new clutched always feel lighter than the old ones they replace

pressed in

I thought as much. Looks like ill have to make do with the stock ones.

Anyway here is a new pic i took with the coil pack in bright silver:

post-32255-1214773843_thumb.jpg Looks like a Tomei "DERIVE" engine lol

Looks awesome in the sunlight.

Im getting a sticker made to replace the 2500 24valve logo.

they can be pressed out pretty easily

then either tap some threads or press some fittings in the covers and you can use earls stuff

ive got a set here that have had the stock fittings pressed out and earls 90 degs pressed in

Will be going to the exhaust shop in a week or two,then its off to the tuners so it will be on the road in a month id say.

On a side note my throttle cable is now too short for the plenum and trottle adaptor.No matter how i run it,it wont work.There must be people running the same setup as me who have got around this problem. Any suggestions??

R31 cable replaced mine :(

Ah the end is near!! Looking good, can't wait to see it in real life finally!!

The smile won't be off your face for at least a month :) Nor your ass out of the drivers seat for about the same time.... lol

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
