Very nice build up mate. Keep up the good work.

I have the ARC system and it works very well. However with the current exchange it's probably best to get your fabricator to make up a bleed system similar to the ARC whilst the car is at their shop.

Hey,

Yeah sold it a couple of weeks ago.. found out it wasn't a 5 speed either :cool: a bit of a refund is on the way to him..

Hey Coop,

Awesome stuff mate, great work! Can't wait to see it in the flesh, hopefully at a track real soon....

I've been having a few chats with Ryan & I may well be coming up to Townsville in June with the Evo, so hopefully see you then mate!

Cheers Cam

Thanks for the encouragement Cam. Be good to see you up this way to.

Got the intercooler piping made up during the week. Turned out really well i think. Still need to find clamps and 1 more silicon hose. Kinda shit photos cause the sun was so bright but gives an idea. Got it made out of alluminum instead of stainless to match the rest of the GReddy kit and for better heat dispersion.

Just like everyone else does with HICAS, I had ditched it, except for the duel set up on the power steering pump. So i pulled it apart and removed the impeller and fitted a banjo blank. But looking at it while it was apart i think I have developed a better and neater way.

I spent a few hours on the lathe and milling machine today and came up with this. It's the factory set up but with the Hicas pump removed completly. I shortened the internal shaft, Machined new bearing surfaces, milled the rear cover to fit in the mounting, Modified the T piece to a single entry, Installed a new bearing and shorter bolts effectivly halfing the physical size and weight of the unit and it now looks far neater overall.

here's some pics of todays handy work and also 1 of the blow off valve fitted up.

Thanks Guys. I'll let you know if it works. Russ, I wasn't sure about the pump being interchangable with the 33 as I thought the balancers were different. Maybe just the pullies then? More so just an excersize of my own with a bit of spare time at work to see if it could've been done.

There's been a bit of action in the shed of late but work comitments have slowed progress a bit all i have is a couple of the pics of the areo catches installed. Used some of Marlin's pics as a how to and got it done. Thanks Ben.

Also, the rest of the fuel system, airation tank and a couple of defi advance guages showed up so a bit to do over the comming week to install them.

Note. ARC airation tank kits for r32s only fit r32s with standard radiators and standard intercooler piping. Mods required. :cool:

Ok time for an update. There's not alot left to do now. I had to take some pics for its CAMS rally car log book so we pushed it out of the shed and gave it a tub. The dry sump is all plumbed up with the exception of a few fittings that needed to be back ordered from SpeedFlow and all that remains is a bit of electrical work for fuel pumps and map sensors, run some fuel lines and give it all a general tidy up and with any luck we should see it on the dyno in the next couple of weeks.

Here's some pics. Let me know what ya reckon.

Nice looking very good! i was thinking of a similar setup for the hicas pump too, but my friend gave me another nissan pump.. which is single stage..

before i jump into it could the second stage be used for say gearbox cooler?? or does it need to be the same type of oil going thru it?

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
