Put it on the dyno. Got up to 272RWKW @ 14psi before we called it quits.

Water temp was going from 92 to 105 in just one run.. possible headgasket issue.

Also have to sort out sump breather hose, seems to push oil up the pipe, and into the oil/air separator plumbing and intake :(

Sounds like an air lock check if your heater is working a good indication for a airlock

And seems like a blocked breather !!

I hope you can work it out

Thanks Brad! Yours will be a monster!!

Still have not done clutch...had to keep it on the road due to things popping up and arriving short notice :whistling:. Was worth it though!

The clutch is a Nismo gmax twin plate (Brett) , that I got second hand, cleaned, inspected and rebuilt with new clutch discs.

I'm currently half way through getting brembo bits to take the brakes back to something more streetable...

New scuff plates..post-12712-0-88248000-1327199816_thumb.jpgpost-12712-0-09787700-1327199833_thumb.jpg

Where did you get the scuff plates? They are awesome!!! Edited by Rylan

Thanks. Got them off ebay, of all places. Then customised with stickers :)

Must be a big air lock!!! Never had it this bad...I'm retorquing headstuds as a precaution.

Timing was conservative as far as I know, tuner checked it on dataloggit after base timing check....

Coolant system bled, oil setup and catchcan done :D

Thought I'd check the cam timing on the gears as it has been sluggish at low to mid RPM. Well I stuffed up, got the advance and retard settings on the gears backwards, which meant that it liked top end due to retard on intake cam and advance on exhaust.

Once I fixed that and adjusted it correctly to suit stock cams, and rechecked timing with timing light again, it's now back to it's great drivable self again...silly me!!!

14PSI is great, I'm looking forward to what it will do with 22 or so PSI into it :D

Meh, nah spent too much already!

Spat a power steering belt mid corner today on Putty Rd, scary moment!! Nearly crashed :( Needed to be retensioned anyways. Damn they are hard to steer with no power steering!!

Try it on semis on a racetrack... hahaha

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
