Hey guys starting working on the skyline a couple of weeks ago getting it ready for its new paint job.

Paint: 8m7 2006 Toyota Camery Blue Ice pearl metalic with 280g of extra pearl

All bolt on items are in primer

Doors inside and out

Front guards

CF Bonnet

Boot and wing

Tail light surrounds

Front bar

Grill

Still have the rest of the body to but all the windows are out, just have to do a repair on the LH rear guard and the rest of the car will be in primer this weekend.

Working on the engine bay atm cleaning up all the un-used holes and smoothing the engine bay aswell as seam welding the towers.

Thanks for keeping me in the loop.

Otherwise I'd never know how much I should appreciate attention to detail like this.

I'm interested in your thoughts about how you decide on grades of sandpaper later on.

Cheers,

Tez :P

nice project - looks like you havent done the seem welding bit yet - dont do too much work around that area until you get the welding done as most of the filler near there will be ruined with the welding.

try to wire brush all the scorching around your welds too before hitting with filler :( helps keep as little contamination between the filler and the metal.

from what i have been told full seam welding is actually a bad idea, things still twist and flex a little, full seam welding will result in breaks and cracks else where, stich welding is the way to go.

    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.

    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 😛   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
