Ordered some parts from just jap and a one piece flywheel from extreme.

Namely, nismo engine and transmission mounts, thermostat, silicone water pipes and radiator pipes, fuel filter, braided clutch line.

ACL main and bigend bearings were measured up, fitted and torqued. Stock pistons and rods remain.

Exhaust mainifolds, turbine housings and stock stainless dumps were sent into Craved coatings for ceramicoating.

Bottom end is a little cleaner now!

Just waiting for the parts to come now........ ;)

Thanks Ben and nice to meet you!

Got my hot side bits back from Craved coatings today and they look very nice!

Then started to reassemble some bits tonight onto the new turbo's after cleaning.

Hopefully my other parts will arrive tomorrow!

looks heaps better than the rusty bits you dropped off Sean :D

if you are over my way this week, bring one of those covers with you, want to try and work on a colour match for the r34 red

got on thats gonna be close but its a metallic

painting the turbo compressor covers and heat shields to match?

Nah. Factory lookish is about it! Still gotta decide what I'm going to do to the cam covers. They do need a touch up.

This week was just preping the engine bay for painting as the paint that was applied in the past can be scratched off with a fingernail lolz.

So while the engine is out, it's the perfect time to fix up the shite paint job.

Half arsed job my buddy painter said when he looked at it. So hopefully tomorrow some nice white polyurethane paint will be applied on the lhs and rhs towers and front radiator support.

All degreased and sanded ready for masking sheets, primer and paint.

I'll try to bring one in Chris. Cheers.

Thanks:) Don't call em wallet stealers for nothing!

Last 26 I built, did the head oil restrictor, enlarged oil returns at the back of head and oil return holes, mines head baffles.

Wasn't enough, especially for track work, and due to ring gap being a little big, more blowby than normal which meant oil being forced to stay in head/get pumped into catch can instead of draining to sump.

This time, I have only added a tomei sump baffle, rest of engine is completely stock, save for ACL bearings. I have read the oil control thread too :P and chose not to do certain things.

And yes, head drain kit is on the way!

Still have to get a decent baffled catch can too.

Get a set of the mine's cam cover baffles. They work excellent. I haven't seen any blow by out of the vents on my new motor, during run in or on final tune.

  • 2 weeks later...

Had the mines baffles in the R32 when I built that. They do help, great for street, but at track days, lap after lap at high RPM I managed to fill the catch can and some of the inlet piping with oil.

Put the engine back in and fitted gbox this weekend. Only the radiator hoses, wheels under tray and the rest to go!

This piece broke when the twin turbo pipe was fitted! It wasn't even done up tight, and it looked like a casting issue? Broke the top corner right through.

So have to get another one this week.

Eng bay is all done now and car is back on the road.

Front disks were machined because of a slight shudder under braking but now they shudder and shake like a mofo under braking.

They were removed from the disk hat to be machined when they should of been given a skim on the lathe, so the disks will have to be removed again.

Engine runs fine and turbos spool very nicely, still pretty responsive but will need a tune to suit the -9's.

The exhaust is louder due to the exhaust housings being larger so sounds nice :)

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
