that basicaly goes through everything. if you are only looking for 300-350kw range the stock internal bottom end is fine (good for 600hp and 7200rpm) remember that all pricing on their site is in NZD not AUD.

Anyone know where is good to order online that is pretty quick?? I am after parts first week of November. Got a few places but not sure if they have all that I need so would be good to shop around.

Send it up Kat...our head work is top shelf PM Jz R33 as we just did an engine for him that he picked up on Saturday.

Our engines have a proven track record taking out several Autosalon power championships and powering our R32 drag car to win the Australian title in 2004-2005. We have just built our current engine in our race car to push over the 1000hp mark and into the 8 sec bracket.

Im doing a couple of engines for ACT customers actually...you may know some of them.

Kat, make sure you consider this post!

no idea at the moment...only got a 3 inch zorst and pod so i cant imagine more than 140ish 150ish at the wheels...plus i took the boost controller off so its running stock boost at the moment :) still enough compared to the old pulsar but.

it's booked in to autotech next tuesday, they are going to check air / fuel, try and diagnose that sensor problem thats making the car feel crap. hopefully give me a power figure then. when i spoke to the guy today he said it might jsut be easier to get a power fc so i can tune it n stuff...we'll see.

i bet the fishtail was fun hey? i had my first powerslide incident coming out of a round about the other day when it was raining...not as bad as what i expected it to be but...

Power FC FTW!!! Best thing I ever bought for it.... So far :)

Compared to the Pulsar must feel like a rocket!! I remember getting in the GTR for the first time after driving around a non turbo for 4 or 5 years... Haha OMG!!! :)

Well I've always had good results from those guys so they should be able to sort it out for you. I wasn't sure how stock yours was. At least it's nice and tidy, I like stock so then you can do whatever you want to it. Modding = expensive but awesomes!!!

LOL was a bit embarrassing cause was unplanned!

Guys that have done this all before me, can you please let me know wht brands you have used for....

Cams

Pistons

Conrods

Injectors

Oil Pump

I have some ideas now and wanna hear what everyone else is using :banana:

Cheers.

Just been through it all, engine is at the builders now!

Cams: Tomei, Hks or other (not sure were already in engine)

Pistons: i went with Mahle pistons (Probably one of the best pistons you can buy) were around $900

Conrods: i went with Pauter. (also one of the best money could buy at the time) also were around $800

Injectors: i bought some 800cc injectors (i think they are denso) from slide on this forum (in the for sale trader section)

Oil Pump: Using N1 pump still. (with a well balanced bottom end, and staying away from rev limit launches etc they will be fine) will be looking at dry sump later on

Best thing to get is the nismo full engine gasket kit too @ around 4-500 bucks its very good value :P and you wont have problems with leaky aftermarket gaskets and seals..

I bought most of my engine parts in the Usa, while the dollar was at around .95, therefor i spend a bit more money and got myself Very good parts.

also got a n1 water pump for around 200 bucks from the usa..

As for other bits and pieces (jap branded stuff) got most of them from www.greenline.jp

I'm close to the 10k mark already tho i did buy a complete n1 motor as that was ment to go straight in........ haha

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
