Car is now running with the new cam and big 1000cc injectors waiting for me to get it onto the dyno, sounds nice and lump with the new cam, here is the first startup video and some current build pics and some progress build pics

Finally found some time to get it on the dyno and tune it. At 19psi just topping 300rwkw the old Turbosmart boost tee is getting a bit sad and wouldn't let me keep going past 19 it's been in a few of my cars over the years.

Haven't updated this in a long time. Found out the engine that was in it wasn't the ordinal and nether was the cluster that said 230,000 found out the engine had done upwards of 350,000 and had a turbo on it before.

Story is on some testing it run number 6 bearing with 300rwkw on tear down all the bearings were pretty worn out.

So engine is apart getting machined for forged pistons and going 25 head this time with the fuel system all setup for jungle juice e85

Haven't updated in a while engine is all in and ready to hit the dyno again.

Got a few little things to finish before taking it to the summer matsuri and give it a good test out

Been a long time since I did an update. Entered the car in this years wtac. We had some bumps along the way had to do a rebuild the weekend before so was some late nights leading up to loading it on the trailer and heading to Sydney.

With no testing I wasn't expecting much but got over a few little issues that would have been sorted with testing and finally on the Saturday got some good hot laps and was starting to bring the lap times down. I struggled all weekend with rear end again not having done any testing did not have the rear any where near it needed to be so that's on the list to tune and get some more grip. The front end felt great an had some good turn in and response. With the rear end not helping had terrible oversteer so couldn't get the power down early enough to get good drive out of the corners. With the car a little more sorted I can see it getting a low 1:40 or high 1:30 around eastern creek I would be real happy with that.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
