I see what you are doing. once suggestion I would make with that auto though is a SERIOUS trans cooler for it. if that box is anything like a subaru box (both are jatco) then a rebuild on it is over $4k.

Currently, the engine guy doesn't think the auto will last behind it. The transmission is going to Paul from KEAS, who seems to really know his stuff. Yes I agree with the trans cooler.

The bill for the Hypertune one off plenum, fuel rail, (plannning ID2000 injectors), and 90mm throttle body, was solid, got to pay the bill for the street head port as well at the end of last months other bills....solid accounts. This months is bite the bullet with the oil pump. I'm initially trying Nismo, non N1 pump with hardened steel gears (not an N1). Using the N1 water pump. Gaskets are a mix of factory Nissan, but using the Tomei RB25 det head gasket.

The engine assembly continues. Hypertune plenum and 6 Boost manifold are pleasing products to look at. Hypertune plenum needs fettling for VVT.Got some compliments on the 6 boost twin scroll manifold, with twin scroll turbo combo.

this is a pretty sweet project man. :thumbsup:

What are the plans for it? daily, weekender or track warrior?

At the moment weekender. The build has taken long enough to forget why. I have a Magna and an Audi for daily duties. I had wanted to drag it, but feel less inclined.

more info on the Hypertune plenum pls :)

I guess I wanted one, they look bespoke. They are individual order for rb25det over rb26. I copped a serve from the manifold guy that it will spool later than a Plazmaman plenum. I haven't seen a comparo, There's a thread on Greddy vs Plasmaman. I just wanted one but the other factor was getting the throttle body, and fuel rail as one package. However it's coming off for adjustments so the VVT will work, something that concretely affects spool. The HKS Step 1 cams were chosen to retain VVT.

The transmission choice has been difficult. I wish there was something 3 speed and simple in all wheel drive like C4 ford. Instead the powerglide is available in awd, seen a one off TH400 on Calais turbo. As well Like most people I want some communication at decision time. The plan at the moment is re403a from the 300zx turbo, which has larger components than the re401a in the car, and mating that to the awd housing. The job's going to MV automatics, thanks to communication about the job etc. Other trans builders are yet to get back to me......

The panel beater is always big and critical part of a build. I've been satisfied with the one I've chosen. The pics show how far I've had the car stripped back, which is far enough to respray the engine bay to the matching final colour. And that it's a glass out windows out job.

The other aspect is the decision to "wide body" in many ways subtle is better and I'm and admirer of Chris Rogers restoration GTS4 for that reason. I have wanted to wide body my GTS4 for wide rubber clearance. I went with fibreglass rear quarters and GTR fenders, over going all GTR and stiching in GTR quarters. The plesant surprise is that for an old GTS4 there is very little significant corrosion as many of these were used in mud and snow parts of Japan, while mine has been looking soild structurally.

There are the "dark nights of the soul feelings" that having been stripped back so far, is it just a pile of rubble now or will it come together mostly to plan.

Having paid MV automatics, the trans 3k stall etc etc, was lost for a while and found again, causing just a small shortening of my life while MV automatics have tracked it down. Hope I see it in the flesh soon.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
