God I wish I was there when they signed out...

ive never had to pay for slap and tickle in my life before...there was no way i was paying for yours!

i actually thought it was pretty funny but as the room was in Luke's name he was not as amused.

Mick put new tensioner pulley stud and idler bolt on your engine...i have part numbers for the full kit including washers and nuts...its about $20 for the lot (a little bit more exy than a Stevo-salami-slashing-session)

Already done Paul :) Thanks.

(I love it when we get a chance to pay Steve out about that night) ;)

Man hurry up and finish already!!

My thoughts exactly!!

lol you Never did end up posting turbo specs :P but I didn't end up getting a 3076 anyway

Yeah, sorry about that... I havent been near a computer for 2 weeks and I forgot :P

  • 3 weeks later...

Update:

A few more major parts and incidentals attached, just waiting on some fluids to come in (special ordered) so that I can replace all oils and lubricants...

Hopefully only a matter of a couple of weeks now :D

New polished alloy inlet pipe and turbo:

:blink:

maaan... so much blue! :D

Yep, my favourite colour, plus... It seems that most people go for red so I wanted to go against the grain. :thumbsup:

Lookin' sexy there!! Let's hope you can drive it faster on a track than you can on a dyno :)

Thanks Michele... I think. :D

Thanks Chris, its been a lot hard and fiddly work to get it looking as good as it does...

I havent completely sorted the catch can system yet, I am still thinking of how to plumb it in to the new inlet... At the moment it is sealed off from everything but the cam covers (still a work in progress).

No problem...

Yeah I made a bracket for it, its got 3 bolts holding it on to the body and 2 holding the can (I dont cut corners on my car).

Here is a quick "sketch" of the bracket... I used existing holes in the body when measuring up the braket, I dont like the idea of drilling more holes into the panels.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
