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?

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
