hahahaha, well waiting on a few things...

new 8000k HID kit coming

alloy intake pipe coming

apexi pod coming

led parkers coming

front mount getting thursday hopefully

new hoses for the bov return and the oil/air from the cam cover

picked up new coolant, side indicator globes and motul auto trans fluid today. getting stuck into the making of the new mounts tomorrow for the thermo, trans cooler mount and bonnet latch brace.

Also the stagea side indicator plugs are different to the r34 plugs, wired them in today. Spoke to the paint shop, they are ready for it once i get it driving...

Hopefully have this thing back on the road ready for paint by mid next weekish... fingers crossed

Looking great so far, Teren! Hopefully I'll be able to head around this week (or maybe over the weekend) some time and check it out in the flesh.

I'm back to health, so my aim is to NOT get sick again while out in the wet weather - hopefully it doesn't rain beyond Thursday.

Ok so a little update for those who tune in....

After returning from a quick trip to Singapore... I picked up a new HYBRID GT2 intercooler kit on tuesday, had to make some custom mounts to mount up to the the front reo and mess around with the trans cooler to get it to fit up all nice, also made brackets to bolt up the gtr bonnet latch brace and the thermo fan and modified the trans cooler bracket to fit up to the gtr rad support.

Received my alloy intake pipe and apexi pod filter, and have it roughly fitted up although the filter hits on the washer bottle so might have to see if the S1 washer bottle makes it any better (do S1's have the washer bottle mounted under the skirt where the stock intercooler goes? or do i have some different one?). If that doesnt work I will have to get a hold of a HKS mushroom possibly.

Could have had this thing finished and painted by now if i didnt keep on buying things to put on it! :thumbsup:

Thanks Hugh,

Its an Odyssey fairly certain its this one...

ER40 Specs:

1100 cranking amps for 5 seconds

Short circuit current over 2450A

45 amp hours

87 minute reserve capacity with 25amp load

M6 stud terminal

Length 9.8""

Width 3.8"

Height 8.1"

Weighs 27.5 lbs

Ill check my actual type tomorrow, but im fairly certain those are the same specs

Sorry about the poor quality, these were taken from my phone... Updates so far, front mount in, headlights and other wiring done and working, greedy catch can with braided lines and speed flow fitting's in and apexi pen timer... just took the car for a little punt around the block. Sounds good with the pod / alloy intake pipe :(

Do you get much reversion messing with the AFM with the alloy intake pipe?

there doesn't seemto be any problems with it but I do have a 45deg silicon bend before the AFM, there was a few problems with revs dropping heaps fast almost causing the engine to stall after fast acceleration then hard braking in full auto, but don't think it was reversion. Possibly the dual port BOV Ihave on it ATM...

looking forward to an update on this one mate!

I will update the latest pics tonight when I get a chance, im waiting to see what wheels you can come up with! :bunny:

Ok, Sorry it has been a while! but I'm just waiting to get it to paint :down:

I have been looking at wheels feverishly, so far these Gram light 57f's look to be winning... 19 x 9.5” +19 front and 19 x 10.5” +29 rears

I have also put the front side skirt pods back on the car along with a JJR Bellmouth stanless front/dump pipe and a HDI Dual stage EBC car is now running 12psi

My deadline for the paint and to have wheels on it is by the NSW stagea meet in the next few months!

I have also had a chat to a welding friend about removing the roof racks and having the holes welded up, looks promising but will let you know how I go

A few more pics :D

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
