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!!

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
