Exhaust leak rectified, turbo sounds normal again but responds even faster.

Starts spooling as early as 2000-2200 and tonight it regularly saw 10PSI at 3000rpm.

Doesnt FEEL like a DE+T but might very well be. Must run a compression test on it ASAP and find out....

Had a hard time trying to get a video of tacho, boost gauge AND not crashing, all at the same time...but will get around to it.

14 PSI, sweet.

But then.....

Replaced every hose clamp in the entire car with new aftermarket ones. Took me a while but looks neat and no more blowing off intercooler pipes.

Next I painted the heatshields.

Currently not running AGAIN due to brand new Bosch 040 overheating after any more than 15 seconds of use. Trying to rectify :\

Still not fixed :( Idled fine for 30 minutes, got out of my suburb and onto the highway and started all over again. Had to let it cool down 5 mins at a time every 2-3 km (without going over 2500rpm) to limp it home.

Pic I snapped while waiting for it to cool down again.

They do but too wide for the open centre diff to do skids in. clutch kick any revs below 4000 and it' just bogs down and launches, even when it does do a skid (ie forced first gear into 90 degree corner) suspension flexes up, demon camber comes on and skid is only 2inches wide (from a 9 inch tyre).

Definately need to roll guards, slam it some more, wind out camber, and fit LSD / mech.

UPDATE:

Car fixed, cleaned fuel tank today and chucked in another 500hp pump, run's great, again, for now.

:D

I know most 20DE Ceffy's had LSD but this one was indeed a 20E when I got it.

Got an LSD at mate's place, still deciding if I can be f**ked doing the shims before I just top up oil and chuck it in.

Took her out with some Perth guys for a bit of a photoshoot. Mate does it as a hobby.

----------------------------------

Not much else in news at the moment. Few little things need doing, have racked up over 800km in it since new engine and still ironing out all the problems.

Cracked the $1000 mark of materials that I've spent reviving the halfcut motor to where it SHOULD be. Almost ready to lean on the car as a daily again. Has been good fun to drive around though, and rather interesting finding ways to get it going every time it breaks down 40+ km from from.

LOL I kept telling you it was a bunky POS but you insisted on taking photo's of it :P

non-ABS stuff? dunno, whenever? Fix Jess's car and take a night or two off to cool down. LSD has been sitting here for ages, gotta order some shims for it. I'll might chuck it in as is when the single piece driveshaft arrives - a bit easier that way. Then shim it later?

looking gud nic, whats the light in the shutter speed pic i cant tell?

i got 3x 1.20 mm shims, installed two on the spider gear side and one on the other side and put it all back together. need to get around to installing it on the car when i get some free time.

    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same. 
    • I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
    • yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel
