Up for a Jaffa run!!!BAAAAHHHHHAAAA

Edited by Jetwreck

Got the Stagea back today after the bottom end rebuild

Home by 3pm, took a cpl hours to refit the front 324mm brake rotor kit

Yet to test the brakes since refitting. Engine purrs very nicely. Will run in the engine slowly over the next 6 weeks or so.

don't do it! run in the engine the same way you intend to use it.

with modern clearances you should run in a motor hard over the first 200-500klm. By then it is well and truely done.

In particular, don't allow it to idle. Once it is warm load it up hard. Little boost but as much load as you can do (long up hills). Vary the load point. Low boost so it's not over the top

Yeah I know, I ran in my old Fireblade 919cc engine nice and hard and that was a stomper once tuned with the flatslide carbies.

Recently ran in the rb26 engine via loading it up; will have that tuned when I can afford it (once house is sold). Buying the track car was a BIG mistake but admittedly Ive been mentally crazy over the past number of years (pain, medication).

What I actually meant with "slowly"was I'll only be doing small sessions of driving and the 1000kms will probably take me 6 weeks to get up to (builder/tuner advice was to make sure I do the 1000kms, whereas Id rather bring it in for new fluids and tune after 500kms). Boost is limited to 8psi currently. I'll be loading the engine when possible. 1st proper drive will be in the Hills sometime in the next couple days. Will take it up Willunga Hill rd a few times (big hill that features in the Tour Down Under cycle race).

Thanks for your suggestions mate; I'll be sure not to let it idle much. Just drove it 35kms home today; might go out shortly up a small hill and make sure the brake lines are clear from the rim edge - a couple of times now Ive stuffed up where Ive cable tied the lines and broke the metal tube line that goes into R32 gtst calipers...........

yeah my builder too for that matter, he wants 1500klm on it before oil change and full boost tune.

but frankly I've done a heap of motors over the years, always run them in hard, and never had a problem with bearings or rings bedding in. I think the workshops want to minimise risk and get a lot of klm on board, particularly to turn up any short term/bedding in issues.

I meant to add, the only problem I've ever had running in a motor was in the early days when the rings did not bed in well (compression was pretty poor after 1000klm). Turned out the bores had glazed due to overfueling early on (efi cars run richer when cold).

The engine guy spent a few hours on the dyno absolutely smashing it at full load and no boost and it came up good. Which was lucky because the other option was to pull the motor right down and hone it again

Lucky save, for sure.

Yeah with the position Im in now financially I cant afford for anything to go wrong. Putting all my eggs in the one basket, so to speak, by studying medical radiation science next year at Uni-SA in Adelaide. Been on the disability pension since June 08 and have used up all my savings; at the point where I cant afford the morgage any longer. Pretty much only regained my mental health 5 weeks ago when I took myself off my medication (fentanyl - 80x strength of heroin & literally sent me insane). Ive got a lot in front of me & just cant afford for anything to go wrong. Once the house sells I'll need all I get after the loan repayment & divorce split to get myself through Uni over the next 4, possibly 5, years.

Just went up'n'round a hill for a couple of minutes, brakes seem good. Forgot Ive got an 18psi actuator so no my boost isnt limited to 8psi; going to have to load up the engine carefully as I dont trust the tune just at this point - definately dont want it overfuelling with a whack of air pressure to boot. Greddy boost solonoid is removed but that'd mean its running off the actuator, going to have to be careful with how I go about it.

Sounds like a good thing. Still RB25?

What kind of power are you looking for?

lol im pretty sure craig has more track experience than probably anyone on here........ id do the dyno video

he'd kick my ass on a dyno for sure.. im only trying to push 220 out of this for the time being.. i'll wait for the turbo to die(s15 turbo still) and ill chuck a TD06L2 20G on. then i'll give him a proper run.

Slowest way around a corner :whistling:

actually its the fastest!

however the tyre wear is also the fastest lol

lol i've got flat spots on them after yesterdays asian driver who thought it was correct to cut in front of me and stop at 80kph might as well ruin them

    • 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.  
    • 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?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
