Just scored a power cable, earth cable. battery clamp, and some heater hose for the battery relocation off the old man, score!

All I need now is a battery, hopefully the bro can do some dodgeys through work and get me a brand newie this week.

Also cleaned fuel rail again, and fitted some cleaned stock injectors.

got the cooler piping welded up today, cost: a box of carlton dry.

Also just finishing of a custom autometer temp sendor mount for the top radiator hose, dodgey looking but it will work without destroying my orig omori temp sendor mount :)

not a interesting update, no pics.

Done a heap of stuff, to-do list is getting smaller.

Got a battery from a toyota kluger, is f**king huge!

Its not new either, but its in good nick.

Will take the camera with me tomorrow and get a few snaps.

Should be running by xmas, then hopefully can get a tune in late january. :bunny:

well it runs, also ran before xmas haha.

currently running with rb25 ecu, rb25 inj and Afm just to sort out bugs, check for leaks etc.

drove it with no exh and shithouse wheel alignment, rb30 torque is good.

Tomorrow it gets the dump pipe mated back upto the rest of the system, piss the cat off, also get rid of the cannon in favour for straight 3" tip.

wanted to go to a 3.5" system with a single hotdog, bank account says no :(

Wheel align friday, then wait till the xmas/new years police blitz calms down and take it out to put some km's on the motor.

Still some more things needed, like anotther boost gauge as the current one hasnt got a big enough psi reading on it :devil:

Completed engine bay pic, still needs a wash.

drives good, seems reasonably responsive with the largeish turbo (thank you cubic capacity and a sensible exh housing size)

Currently have the exh manifold off and getting it copied (I was keen on doing it after helping with a mates steampipe sr20 manifold) but want the car running and tuned asap)

got a 30psi autometer boost gauge in it now, plus aqquired another bm44 master (3rd time lucky!)

night have reasonable brakes now.

Still have no indicators, dodgey taillights and a bad earth somewhere.

Oh the joys of fixing a worn out car.

ive got working hazzards though..

no indictors still and to be honest, i havent really tried to find the problem in the last couple of months.

Motorvation is a all time low, ive always loved tuff street cars, and in recent times in melbourne, its impossible to drive anything modified around.

Have to pull the timing covers to address a belt issue, top belt tensioner is maxxed out, so have to adjust the bottom.

Which is a pain in the ass, but still a better setup with the twincam rb30 conversion.

Also questioning the timing belt quality as there isnt a whole lot of performance options available.

See how I go, I guess.

Does drive nice though, 3litres, a turbo a tad smaller than a GT35r, means Ive got near standard response :wub:

LOL at toffy

why would we wreck it, only things to finish off are indicators and brake lights. take it to an auto elec to fix the indicator and get them to repin the brake light relay to a general/generic type relay (bosh etc)

and yes pimp slaps all round, and if i had an address i could even get round to it for... um.....a motivation push :whistling:

driveline is to be sold before I sell the shell etc.

Rb30det, R33det head, de-vct

$9k, cooler to tailshaft.

clutch,flywheel,box and tailshaft was $3100.

Has a driven on once powertune steampipe manifold- $1200 alone

Machining all up was 2100 - I can give interested partys a full run down of what got done.

mahle pistons, spool rods. 1600 worth

n1/jpc gear oil pump - 730 worth

sump with baffling, 6.5litres - $630

PLus a heap of other things not mentioned, 272 cams,cam gears, ross balancer yadda yadda.

Its good, done less than 20km's on the road.

Will make a responsive 330-350rwkw

Over it!!!

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion 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. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
