muahaha much like you from the other thread....I can't possibly post a pic of my workshop :D

I do have a place where I'm a regular visitor but it sure aint mine

Yeh ditto. I lean on (use ;) ) friends palces for lots of my work. One friend is good enough to le tm euse space and tools at his workshop and all i seem to do is tread on and damage stuff that he is trying to fix at his place of business :no: .... ;)

BTW your shack looks great Chris, I'd love to have my car living on a hoist. and lots of storage up top too. good work.

but whats the engine sling for? holding the gearbox up or something? you must be coming close to me for amount of time the motor is out of the car.....

Worm better turn soon mate or i am gunna bar out the porker and race that.

Not that it will matter to much anyway once that atomic blast orange hits the track aint going to be much that will be able to compete with it.

lotto wouldn't cover my plans :P

screamin' love your setup, a proper workshop with access after hours would be perfect for me since I never get to play cars during bsuiness hours anyway :yucky: nice air line setup there similar to what i was going to do in the shed.

Stu I love how much space you have...not sure why its not chock full of cars. God knows if I had that much space I would find a whole bunch of different "bargain" projects that I just couldn't pass up lol. At least you have 2 different r32 projects lined up out the back. And what are the big output lights doing on the top shelf not hanging from the roof?

BTW both those workshop's hoists remind me....why doesn't everyone have the joined at the top/flat floor style hoists? surely it makes it much easier to work under the car with transmission jacks etc? do they cost more or are there other reasons?

And...what is the best way to protect the floor?

This is mine, My father and brothers private Work shop.

Specs:

Area: Aprox. 600 sqm

Facilities:

  • Professional Paint Booth
  • Brake Tester
  • 1 large air compressor
  • 3 car lifters
  • and a lot of tools....

In the pictures, it is quite messy, but we are still assembling the Paint booth, and we have a few cars...

These are pictures from the first room, where the paintboot is located:

oh brother............must be for the cleaning up lol.

Duncan, this is why i dont have more than a couple of project cars running at the one time...need a GPS to find anything.rofl. poor Morten. lots of cool toys though.

Been saving the pennies away this year to get a new shed up in the air. The cost of the slab has been the biggest thing that held things up the longest. Once it went down things went up pretty quick.

The first truck came just squeezing past the house and the garage.

Gnarls Barkley (the dog) decided the s13 wreck was a safe place to hang out while all the noise n stuff was going on.

the pore begins, and Yes, that is an industrial vibrator in front of the boxing.

2nd truck, 11.6 cubic metres of mud in total

Sara was there in her gumboots helping the concreters, or checking them out, or making sure they were doing the job right????

That was friday arvo, so with the slab down it was off to the race track to do some test laps before a race weekend. Had to let the slab cure untill monday.

I was looking at the slab and thinking that it didnt look as big as i thought it was going to be. Then when the frame went up..... HOLLY MOTHER OF GOD!!!!! Its HUGE

3m to the gutters. Slab is 12 x 7.5m

If you are thinking about the car on the shelf, top right:

It is a Pontiac Firebird, 1971, not a corvette. My father has owned it for around 18-20 years. And it has never been finished...

    • Assuming the current ECU is stock, it might be worth getting hold of a nissan data scan cable. It could be as simple as voltage at the ECU
    • You need to test for spark when it matters - ie cranking. Kill the fuel supply, pull a plug and earth it, set up a camera and go crank. The spark needs to be consistent, every other turn of the engine. Not some sputtering of occasional spark. The reason I say this is because spinning the CAS in the air is not the same as spinning it installed, and if there is a bearing problem in it, the disk might work differently in the air than in the engine. You won't want to try to set the timing unless you know the spark is happening right.  Also, reconsider running the R35 coils against the stock ECU. They like a different amount of dwell cf the originals. It's not massive, you can actually run them, but it is better if you can adjust the dwell (which you can with Nistune in the stocker, or with an aftermarket ECU). Besides any of that - when you had the multimeter out, have you got power where it needs to be, earth where it needs to be (and when, in the case of igniter triggers), etc?
    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below
