even the GTT isnt far off. i have a pair here that are destined for my better halfs VW. have been thinking about bolting them into my 33 (34 seats are a tad bigger), but they do require a small amount of works.

give me a call first. lately I have not been working on it tat much. trying to do other things that do not cost a lot of $$ to do. harnesses being one of them.

got these today.

R32 GTR I'cooler piping and BOVs. I already have the brackets to mount this stuff. the rear mudflaps and fuse panel cover were an extra bonus.

now to work out what I am missing. I still need a GTR air box and BOV return pipe.

i have just finished reading this, chris mate, this is awesome, i honestly cannot wait to see this in person when you have finished everything, everything is so well thought out and planned, words escape me as to how awesome this build is.

finally spent a bit more time doing small things. drivers door harness has been rebuilt to take a factory door actuator instead of a aftermarket gun type so it will be a bit more reliable.

when I got all the GTR bits off whizzn they came with a GTR key. all the locks went to HA Reed Locksmiths in Albion today to get recoded and a spare key made. should have them back in a few days and that will fix the worn locks as well.

probably going to spend sunday doing another harness.

I'll be dropping off an airbox with some other stuff next week Chris, run out of time today

Only problem with it is that someone in Japan grinded half of the bottom bit away for extra cooling lol but top halfs alright :whistling:

started working on the engine harnesses tonight. that should take a week or so on mucking around and it will be done. my goal is to be able to fire relays with a diagnostic computer attached. if I can do that then the car should run once the engine goes in.

    • 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.
