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

Turn one wheel in a direction, opposite wheel turns opposite direction. Open Centre FTL

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.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
