Not so much a what have I done but a what I will do when the wife and kids give me 5 minutes of peace!

attachicon.gif2015-11-29 09.27.43.jpg

Next on the list will be coilovers, looking at MCA, Blitz ZZ-R and BC BR RS.

Anyone running the Blitz or MCA or anything else they are happy with?

whats in the innovate box mate?

Whats the fitment like with the blitz kit? Hit a possum a few months back and have been having random boost leaks since and I've narrowed it down to the cooler itself being warped and not sealing properly, with my current HDi cooler.

Thinking to just replace the core but the blitz kits tempting whats left of my "JDM yo" honda feelings

Thrashed it at the Snowy 1000

Ran 22.49 @ 233.5 kph, better ET than I expected but was hoping for a quicker trap speed.

Was quite happy the wagon was able to drive home as many cars didn't survive the day.

Ok so as promised....

I had more time to spare to go check out the M35 as we get closer to the end of this long job,

I managed to take a few happy snaps of a few bits.

Clutch pedal is sorted.

Manual box in place

Centre console test fitted

Tail Shaft not in yet...

But the best bit is.... IT STARTS!!! The 4wd light is on + the auto light flashes a few times on start up but it stars perfectly and idles fine.

Next the hand brake will be sorted + clutch line and then all i am waiting on is the tail shaft which i was hoping to be done before this week ends but looks like next week.

There are heaps more photo's that have been taken by the mechanic but they will sorted once all is done.

hey maybe we should rename this thread to " What have you hidden from your missus lately "

so far I've done high flow, ( she knows that one but not the total cost ), brakes, rotors, pads, bov, boost t and sway bars.

sitting in my cupboard I have two Greddy BOV's, new set of plugs, intake coupling and clamps, new fuel pump and strainer, an AMPerformance intake with heat wrap, and lastly an E-Manage Ultimate in a box.

Add it all up and it's a holiday to Thailand.

if she knew I'd be a f**king grease pop. ;)

It won't run cooler with the Nismo thermostat - it will just take longer to warm up. Stock is best.

Not true actually.

OEM opens at 86deg, so you'll never see it colder than that in normal running.

Nismo opens at 74deg, so my car routinely runs around 80 deg; except in very hot weather.

OEM does keep temps more stable, but only when using an OEM radiator.

how about your car with heavy traffic on 40 degree day?

Your thermostat is not like the unit on the wall that controls your central heating - it just increases the flow through the radiator and once its open the Nismo is no different from the stocker so on a hot day both will be open but the amount of cooling done by the radiator will be exactly the same i.e. a thermostat that opens at a lower temperature will not cool your engine any better than one that opens later once that temperature has been reached.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
