Just got it back yesterday, with cams in, adj cam gear, head gasket, trust plenum and larger turbine housing.  Have to wait until wednesday for the final verdict when it is being tuned:) Oh, and a nice all black Bride Brix went in:)

:wassup: that's gonna be one killer car

how do you keep rear wheel traction steve?

Are you comming out to mallala next sat?

Yet to be seen about traction. As the turbine housing is two sizes larger, 0.87 vs the old 0.61, the power is alot more progressive, makes quite a difference. Before I would brake traction as soon as boost comes on, like hitting NOs, now it only breaks traction above 5500-6000rpm at WOT. But the tune, and dialing in the exhaust cam gear, will tell me alot more about how the power is being delivered.

Also, I have only run 1 bar as the car wasnt tuned, so until I wind in more I wont know exactly what it will be like. The hardmount spacers teamed up with pineapples seem to be doing an excellent job. Next will be adjustable camber arms - which will enable me to dial in some positive camber, and set it up so the rear is neutral when the car is under power.

Ultimately though, its just going to be a case of keep the boost down to where traction is manageable:)

I wont be going to the track, maybe to spectate, but I am not putting my car on a track without an oilcooler - I have all the bits (cooler, take off, remote filter mount, thermostat) just got to get them fitted and mount the cooler - which wont be happening until after this weekend unfortuneatly:(

Very nice B-man! What capacity is the new sump?

Let us know how it goes once it's tuned mate.

doglet,

I organised the ceramic coating through Shaun @ 'Boost Worx'. The coating mob are located in Holden Hill, dunno' what their name is though? All up it was $440 to coat the following;

- plenum

- throttle body

- factory cross-over pipe

- IC pipes (comp outlet to IC & IC outlet to cross-over)

- custom inlet piping

- timing belt covers

- exhaust manifold / heat shield

Steve,

Thanks mate. Mine should be back in by the end of the week. Sounds like your beast just gained a lot more potential too!

Did you know the stock inlet cam gear is adjustable too?

Adjustable inlet???? please do tell:)

I would if I knew more mate? Shaun & James have both assured me the stock inlet gear has a reasonable range of adjustment. It's a pain in the arse to adjust but then so is the ext gear. I'll let you know how we go once we've tuned my car.

Thanks R33man.

There's actually quite a bit still to be finished off in the looks department. Heaps more blue hose, braided lines, Speedflow fittings & stainless allen head bolts & so on....

The work is being done by James @ Nisspeed Performance Engines in Modbury / Shaun @ Boost Worx in Panorama & some of it by myself.

The blue hose I've sourced from all over Adelaide over the last 1-2yrs. Autobarn stock it. Most decent performance workshops stock it or can order it in.

your engine looks awesome ... now you gotta be in the next autosalon and take it out!!! :D ... yep looks much different from the last time i saw it :) ... can't wait to see in real life .. thats if you'll let me ;) ... now you can put all the greddy stickers you always wanted :D

Dean,

Thanks dude. I can't wait myself!

Hip,

Thanks mate :( Hmmm... dunno' if the car is quite up to Autosalon standard, not that I'm worried if it is or not. The engine bay should look nice once it's finished though :(

Maybe I can put a huge Greddy sticker across the windscreen? It'll make driving the car much more challenging :rolleyes:

    • 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
