Ha ha, yeah, damn guys wanting engines built.

Hey Steve-o, looked like you got into some trouble on the day lol. When I get the car sorted I'll go. Would of loved to go, but no cash and was working on the R :) I think I like the lip painted, fills it out!

This is lowered to around 115mm on front lip, I like!!

They said do a little burnout, so I did

Anyway, the others there Jez and Dean with responsive 2.6's like yours were pretty damn quick so it will suit you to a tee :D

^ That's the one I was looking at lol, epic!

Matt, yeah I can do an engine bay ;)

Springs I was going to look into were a set of tanabe progressive rate coils, something Terry mentioned a while back. I'm going to follow that path.

Springs are on order.

I'm also going to rebuild the front suspension assy. A few noises that annoy me when turning.

So it's getting new front wheel bearings,

bushes for a arms and castor rod,

New inner and outer ball joints,

And maybe a reco set of CV shafts.

New discs! and pads

More $$$$!

Also got the twin turbo pipe modded with a separator welded in to smooth the air from each turbo, boost is now more stable overall, and less prone to shuffle.

who did this mod for you and how much was it? also keen on doing it

Chris at craved coatings in Penrith did it for me.

Cost around $170, just unbolted it and he did the rest, cleaning,

cutting, welding, grinding and cleaning.

I'd suggest you ring him to get an accurate price though.

Hey Chris, Thanks for the comment! and yes I ended up selling the Rota's. Just love the CE28N's.

J_R32,

The manifolds, I didn't touch this time. Couldn't be bothered with this setup. On my 32GTR with 2530's I did port match the manifolds to the head and turbo flange.

If it comes off again, I'll probably do it though.

The car has been off the road for a while now. Still sorting out what I'm going to do to the front brakes, as finding a replacement set of rotors is a pain.

New front driveshaft is here, and I am halfway through putting a HKS oil cooler kit in with a filter relocation kit. This has a thermostat, unlike the old one I had on my previous car.

Cough cough, $$$$ that I don't have at the moment!!! >_< Also don't have any cars going.

Also found that the top inner front suspension arm bushes on both sides are stuffed and need to be replaced.

On a good note, I have found a source for some new discs, so I'm not selling the brakes now!

Pic of kit. More pics soon.

Thats a nice HKS oil cooler, where did you pick that up from!!! lol

Ha ha, it's a good bit of kit Bob! Thanks again.

Got the oil cooler kit in and did an oil change. Oil lines are no rubbing, secure and out of the way. Only thing left to do is to make a mount for the oil filter base.

I hate doing these installs, because there is bugger all room to do stuff up under the plenum.

Started it up and let it run for 10 minutes, checked oil pressure, gave it a few revs, all good. Not one drop of oil leaking anywhere! Gotta love jap kits!! :banana:

Just waiting on discs and nismo bushes for the upper arms. Also scratched wheel bearings, and ball joints off the list as they are not needed.

Also made my own spanner just to fit under the plenum to do up the unions.

Also cut the slots out on the inner guard for the oil cooler to serve as an outlet.

Thanks Tin! Nice colour 34 you got there!! Also that's a nice dyno graph I saw today at the dyno. Good for a comparison when you've done some improvements :thumbsup: .

Bushes are in and suspension is back together.

Still gotta do brake discs as they haven't come in yet, but put the car on the road for now as I'm sick of not driving it!

It's still creaking!!!!!when I angle up driveways. It's not the swaybar or bushes either. I'm guessing Castor bushes have had it....but they look ok?

Yeah my R32 GT-R creeks up driveways and stuff like that. Almost sounds like its coming from my front guard with the stiff suspension causing flex or something (that was my guess). Never even occurred to me to be castor bushes.

Wheels look great on the car btw, alot better than the rotas :thumbsup:

nice mate. good job on the oil cooler instal and good man for creating an exit path for the air. they are nearly useless without one :)

and yeah the jap oil cooler kits are expensive compared to the chinese ones but they are worth every penny. they are better in about a dozen ways I can think of...

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
