My 040 was loud as f**k harts

and then again it was vapourizing fuel to the point were I had to crawl it home from the hills to the bay,so I pulled it out and went back to stock

fuel was so hot in the tank by the time I got it home I could hardly bear putting my hand in there to pull the cradle out

been talking to Adam bout all this

he knows what he needs to do in regards to budget and process

^^^ something was wrong then lol

i wouldn't choose anything besides an 040 personally

and they aren't stupid noisy if you insulate them from the cradle - that's why there is rubber stuff between the pump and cradle with OEM setup

Still confused here lol, I've got a set of injectors sourced, daka 550s need sum plugs for $60 but will cost my less than 400... I'll hunt for a good deal on fuel pump slowly... Doubt I'd notice the pump with my zorst!!

Spoke to hypergear, 960 for the hiflow, said my stock actuator will hate life after 15 psi, and should look at a wastegate controller??? WTF is this? Said he can sort these issues for an extra $200... What's the story here...

And what's this about lines not matching up

with hypergear??? They arnt touching them r they??

under $400 for a set of 550's is a really good find. i'd agree with hypergear about the wastegate actuator not coping too well above 15psi, thats over 3 times the level it was designed for, 5psi. wastegate controller?, maybe they mean to get a new wastegate actuator from them, it make sense for the price. i had to get one for my turbo upgrade and it set me back about $185, so not far off $200.

don't know about the lines though. you'd think if they where taking your turbo and highflowing it, it should bolt back up easy?? is that what hypergear said?

another thing that may be an issue depending on you target power level, is the AFM. if only around the 220kw mark to start with you might get away with leaving it till after everything else is installed. then when you go in for the tune just ask the tuner how close to the stock AFM's limits your getting. then you'll know for sure if it needs to be upgraded.

and just a couple things that happened to me with my upgrade. when installing new injectors i didn't want to split the plenum to get to the fuel rail, you can do the swap without splitting it but there is very limited space to pull the fuel rail back off the injectors. you should be able to get it back just far enough to do the swap though, i found it tricky but doable. i just removed as much of the small bits that are in the way as i could e.g throttle body, fuel lines iacv line etc.

my stock BOV started failing (blowing off during acceleration) at boost pressures of 14-15psi. had to source and aftermarket plumb back. blocking it off was bad, constant stalling and backfiring.

and at the moment i don't have a shift kit for the auto (happeing very soon :D ), my stock auto box doesn't like the extra power during full throttle gear changes. i have to back off to half throttle to let the auto grab the next gear before planting it again, it gets very annoying lol.

Take your wastegate actuator off and take it to bill at Ats,he will cut it and thread it With a fitting on the end,so that's it's completely adjustable

that's what I did and it's 40bucks and takes 10minutes

40 bucks for an adjustable wastegate and a free chat with bill for advice and pointers is better than 200bucks for an actuator in my book

bill is the turbo messiah in Adelaide

I rang him to ask about the Rb20 actuators,he said you mite get lucky and get one with a tight spring,and if you get one with a sloppy spring,it's useless and not easily replaceable

so ive ordered a walbro gss342 fuel pump... havnt got it yet ... but can someone quickly run me threw the instalation.

ive spoken to rodders about it and hes keep to give me a hand... it comes with a 32 33 34 mounting bracket aswell :D nb for 118 new!....

im going to look at this constant wire up thingo ive been hearing about... can someone lead me down the right path there

also im looking at z32 afm and ive come across a cop tail plug for the z32... it says its good for a 31 s14 silvias 180 32... is this going to work?? or is there a specific rb25 plug?

im guessing the going rate is around the 200 mark for plug and afm?

You need to

1. try using the search function

2. read the diy in the stagea section and also the skyline section.

You will find things like:

and (for stagea remove spare wheel cover and the floor panel to its right):

(walbro is simpler but you get the idea)

looks like you've got it all sorted. assuming your coilpacks are in good working order i'd just throw in a new set of spark plugs before sending it to get tuned. stock exhaust manifold will be good enough for the turbo you have chosen.

Well i think so as ANY FILTER ON OIL is a GREAT THING to have,& will help with TOWING,

As there`s no Filter on them,

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

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.
