Hey Coop i recieved the accusump today mate thanks alot for that, it took me ages to unwrap it from the amount of silver tape u wrapped it in lol :D Now i just have to find a suitable location to mount the tank, im thinking under the plenum on chassis rail (where the hicas pump usually is) or at the front somewhere, just worried if i have a front end bingle i dont want to damage it.

How much was the PWR radiator worth too? PM if u like, i just picked up one second hand for cheap and wondering what it would of cost new roughly.

thanks again

Looks good!

More info on the dry sump kit please?

Definatly keep the bent rod, it would make a nice, but expensive paperweight - ive got 6 CP pistons doing the same thing :P

lol, i got 6 CP's, 6 ACL's and 6 stock pistons if any1 is in need of paperweights heh..awesome build on this car, should be one menacing track car when its done, congrats on the great work so far

Cool Cool, Sorry about the mad wrapping. I just wanted to make sure nothin fell out or got lost. And I get the tape for free.

Under the plenum is where i was planning on putting it to.

The Radiator was a custom built one that I had made off some plans from a friend's R32 to fit where the AC condensor used to fit and incorperates a water to oil engine oil cooler in the end tank. It was about 1450 plus the fan. Very happy with it though. PWR do an outstanding job.

Thanks mate. If SDEWY5 is your number plates, That's cool. Good thinking.

Did a bit of work on sunday. I modified.........Ok hacked up the door trims to allow the doors to be closed without fouling on the doort trim. I just discarded the bottom half and replaced it with some ali plate.

Hey if anyone can identify these boxes in a R32 GTR can you please enlighten me as to what they are and what they control. They are under the parcel shelf an in inside the drivers side quater panel. I assume the one on the left is the Atessa box but i wanna chuck the stuff that's no longer required like the Hicas. also Just want to make sure that if I remove the Hicas controller that it will not effect anything else.

Thanks

And in other news. I had my first go at doing some sheet metal work to cover the holes in the dash that i had to cut to fit it back in around the bars. I tryed to bash out a piece of plate to weld to the car that was the same profile as the shape of the dash. It looks better now that I've primed it though. Also remounted all the glove box and dash brackets that had to be removed to fit the cage. The interior is now pretty much ready to get some paint. just need to weld the plates for the 5th and 6th point of the harnesses to the floor. I bought 2 Sabelt 6 pnt harnesses that arrived xmas eve that i need to go buy some nuts for to weld to the floor plates for the eye bolts.

from left to right, ATTESSA, HICAS ECU (Removed Mine). And the one behind the driver is a fuel pump regulator (makes the pump only pump when it's needed, not all the time), i think most people bypass these so the pump goes all the time, cause they have a habbit of dieing.

Too easy mate thanks. That's what i was thinking but wanted a comfirmation.

Madness coops, when does thing get painted?

Looking the goods so far

Ta Marty. Hopefully have the interior and engine bay painted by monday. The body will get done whenever. Will post pics if i manage to get it done.

Welded in the new seat belt mounts for the 5th and 6th points of the harness today. Chucked a seat in and mocked up the harness to check the mounting positions. Here's a pic of the new harnesses.

If any body wants the BRIDE seat and adjustable rail, it belongs to a mate and he's chacin 5 hungy for it.

looks good enough to me. :yes: the cage looks very good too. very neat and I like the new rear firewall.

Thanks Mate. I was pretty happy with the cage when we finished it. In hinsight would have really liked to have replaced that factory bar that runs under the dash and through near the steering column with a CDS one and make it part of the cage. Would have been able to get the front down bars closer to the pillers if we had have thought about it earlier.

I defo like it better now it has colour on it. Kinda blends in a bit better.

I'm curious about the adjustable cam gears you have in, look so worn out out I can't tell what brand.. kinda Tomei like

They are old JUN ones I'm pretty sure. They don't look the flashest but they are accurate and I run the timing cover anyway so they'll go again. :cool:

Mate this looks insane...gotta love a kenny cage!!

Reckon it'll be all go by the first hillclimb (end of march if my memory serves me correctly)??

and don't forget a seat for me :(

Swade

Ha ha Kenny build a cage? yes he Ken.....

Don't know about the first hill climb mister. Will be a very close thing if at all. Still so much work to do. And money. Hopefull ready for the rally sprint but.

Got the engine bay painted on the weekend. Also under the guards, I finished the seem welding and got te stone guard on.

    • 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.  
    • 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?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
