no idea what happened to my post :S rather confused, but what i basically said was..

i had the turbo ripped out of my DET which made it basically run like S#@T because of the lower compression ratio, either i was to put better pistons in that would make it run close to if not the same as a normal standard DE engine.. i had another forum about this called "very slugish" or something like that where i was told a few times that removing my turbo was a big waste of time because the engine plate would still read that my car is turboed, so i decided to just put the turbo back in myself coz it would be allot cheaper then bothering with new pistons, labour etc.. and what i have been doing is slowly (in between work) putting my intercooler,piping,turbo back togethor, i did the intercooler and piping in about an hour that was the easy bit, but i got upto the turbo and the mechanic i took it to put in a standard metal elbow (that connects the motor to the dump pipe, not sure what its called but its connected to the turbo and usually rusted), i unbolted this (it was hard work took me about 3 hours) and went to put the turbo back in the car with the other metal (rusted engine to dump pipe connector) that was bolted to the turbo and realised there was skinny bendable pipes coming out of it and a fat one that goes to the bottom of the engine and screws in somewhere, these are the oil and water lines i presume, only problem is i dont know where they all go and i didnt want to f#@K it up and create more problems then i origionally have.. so i decided it would be best if i let the mechanic install the turbo its self (and it wouldnt be so expensive considering i did all the intercooler and piping) so i bolted the first metal (rusted engine to dump pipe connector) back on, i put it back togethor EXACTLY how it came apart, then went up to the servo to get fuel and when i was on my way home the car started smelling funny, when i got home i popped the bonnet and it smelt really bad, the radiator was almost red hot like i could barley touch it (also the rubber pipe coming from the top of it) this is weird considering the car was off all day and i only did like 4 kays all up to the servo and back.. so basically the moral of the story is im confused why my engine is running differently then it was before i pulled it apart considering i put it all back togethor EXACTLY how i pulled it apart, also is there anything i can do to fix the problem just to get it to a mechanic?

thanks to mlr who offered to send me an engine

R31 Nismoid. i was origionally trying to get around p plate laws but i realised if im gonna get done because the plate says its a turbo anyway i may as well get done with the actual turbo in the car it will make the car run better and if i do get done and need to get another car i can just sell it as a turbo.. which is definitely not what im keen on doing..

hope it all makes sense, sorry..

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      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.
