hey stageatype S....i was wondering where did you end up buying your front quarter panels on your car from? because i found the masa motorsport R34 conversion, but they dont have your quarter panels.

I order them direct from Masa in Japan.

If you are in OZ, I organised copies to be made. Contact CCubed in Sydney for them, they own the moulds. Aprrox 600-650 pair

Do not buy any of the cheap copies of ebay extra

What other Masa parts have you found, as most of the other bits need are genuine R34 gtr

Since my thread has been bumped, a bit of an update

Currently working on the car every night tring to get it finished for a drag day on the 29th May

I have a list of over 20-25 items still need to be done, some alot bigger then others.

Hopefully get the final engine work done this week, modify exhaust and fmic piping next week and then on the dyno the following week.

Plus supsension and brake work as well.

No pic's, you will have to wait until it is all done

where did you end up taking it to get tuned darrin? hopefully you don't have the same boost creep problem i was having on the gcg dump.

EFI Performance

Not shaw how it will go. I had it at the exhaust shop last Wednesday for 7-8 hours getting the exhuast to fit (it was bent is 3 places) plus intercooler piping changes to suit turbo and inlet plenum.

I ended up with a HKS silent cat back which 3 inch with a canon on the rear and a large centre resinator. The problem with that is the resinator only has approx a 2 1/2 pipe thru the middle, so that may restrict it a little.

Are you free Saturday arvo?

what power level are you hoping for?

i have a HKS system but the 409 not the silent, i think they are the same just one is shinny stainless. i never looked down the centre muffler, i bet its the same to :cheers: . though mine seems to flow good enough. i'm blaming the split dump for the creep, i opened up the wastegate pipe entry at the flange and it helped. still get the occasional spike. think i may mod it to be a bellmouth.

yeah i should be free, i haven't made any plans as of yet. why's that?

It has enough bolt on's to get to 300rwkw, as long as there is no issues

Will have to wait and see. Will be limited to stock head gasket, so 18-19psi

Sat arvo QLD SAU drag day. I think I get 1 free passenger entry included. My son is going, under 13 are free. Otherwise $20 to watch.

Should be picking it up this arvo if there are no issues. Not sure if I will get much work done tonight on it, State of Origin is on (Go Queensland)

Will get the full front on Thursday night, drive to it work on Friday, 75km round trip and then race Saturday. Hopefully

Put the new wheels on the other day, 19x9.5 +12 but they are B disk and they clear the r34 calpiers by about 1mm!!!

Grabbed some 3mm spacers yesterday just to be sure.

If it had r33 calipers, they would have not fitted.

Don't use crappy Chinese copy parts!!!!

The hks copy fuel rail is still leaking, now around the fuel entry

They are going to remove it from the car as it is not square on the ends and the screw in fittings are not sealling. Need to mill the end square

First few power runs were seeing over 200rwkw's at 14psi when rail was leaking.

After bagging doggy chinese stuff, I need to kick my own rear end

Due to running out of time getting the piping done, I made a very doggy BOV return line from high pressure PVC pipe to "just get the car going"

The tuner stopped due to worring about it blowing apart on the dyno.

So I will be picking up a new metal pipe from the exhuast shop tonight as well as picking up the car.

Will have to remain as is until next week when I can get it back on the dyno.

Anyway it is making 330rwhp (246rwkw) at only 15psi.

Tuner advised it was still making easy power and should get to the magic 400rwhp figure I want.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      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?
