OK, so I just fitted the engine cover back onto the car to double check if it will fit with the 17mm plenum spacer. When I fitted the spacer and the cover I thought it was hitting the bonnet so took it back off. Ive been thinking about it during the week and for some reason really wanted the cover back on whistling.gif

I put a nice smear of Vicks vapour rub on the 6 bulges of the cover, then closed the bonnet and started engine and gave it a few good revs. When I lifted the bonnet I found NO Vicks on the bonnet lining. So I am now going to make up some play dough and put a 3-5mm layer on the engine cover and try that. I do this when building my Valiant engines to check piston to valve clearance with a BIG lift cam. This way I can cut it and get a cross section of the play dough to see exactly how much clearance there is.

And I also pulled out the rubber grommets in the cover and turned them upside down, this sat the cover about 2 mm lower.

I know the cover does look good and keeps the motor looking neater but I can tell you it makes the motor (intake) much hotter than with the cover removed. One of the biggest issues I ave seen with covers left on is the rubber parts becoming stiff and brittle sooner.

Busy day today, gave the car a service, and while I was at it, fitted up:

Fumoto Oil Drain Valve

R34 Intercooler

10psi Actuator

Yellow Jackets Coilpacks

Replaced the HKS pod that came with my car with a stock airbox and Apexi filter

And gave my AFM a quick clean with contact cleaner

Thanks, dump pipe's next on the list. Has factory Nismo option exhaust on it, and like how quiet it is, so wanting to keep that, at least until my daughter's quite a bit older. Just wanted to make it a bit more fun for occasionally giving it a little on the way to work and back :P

Itd be fine (and good price too!) if used in conjunction with a pigyback setup to finetune it for your setup, ie + SAFC + SITC, or + emanage ultimate

ie, like Im running chipped ecu tune + AEM Fic/8, which is emanage equivelant

But in saying that Ive got a z32 ecu here to nistune-chip, once Ive bought a harness patch extension to completely rewire everything. After cracking piston #5, shattering the rings, and cracking the rings on piston #4, Id prefer a full tune via Nistune.

You can do a Nistune tune on the Stagea ECU so you don't need the Z32 ECU.

Sadly you can't Nistune the S1 Stagea (or the R33 Skyline) ecu - only the S2 or R34 Skyline.

It looks awesome!

Replaced my battery Friday night. In the dark and rain, because the other one finally gave up completely.

Should be ordering shocks and disks this week, can't wait!

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
