Made a resilient mount for my bc solenoid valve.

Tried a foam backing first, still could hear the hammering resonating through my bracket.

Silent now....

Also painted my master cylinder stopper Nissan under bonnet white (aka rustkill rattle can satin white).

I want the engine bay to look like everything was there from the beginning.

I grabbed a GKtech r33 spec one that someone mentioned was in a clearance sale....

Cooling mod received today - thanks Scott!

Will try and get it in this weekend. Radiator and hoses are due Monday, but will take a couple of weeks to get around to fitting. Once the radiator is here I also want to see if we can make up a custom fan shroud to run thermos before the radiator goes in.

Waiting to see how badly scored the bores are, then it's on to ordering new pistons rods and incidentals.

Does anyone know if R33 GTR front strut braces fit a C34 S1 RSFour?

Also looks like I'll be getting the PFC EL commander to replace the oldschool, scratched unit I have moulded behing the gear stick: I may actually be able to read it... ;) between nasty scratched lens, and the heat from the trans tunnel, the LCD unit is Very hard to read on the fly...

Welcome back to QLD! you must be pumped to be back with the Stagea. If you had a simple bleed valve, as I did - you will love how much better an EBC is. Which one did you get ? Also did you buy F+R swaybars ? Will be interesting to hear more feedback on them.

Can't help with much, but if you want to - try some 2000 wet n dry / scotch brite, then autosol or toothpaste on rag/buffing wheel. You may be surprised about getting rid of alot of scratches from the LCD

So happy to be back

Currently running a turbotech v2 and will be setting up the blitz SBC when I can be bothered to do the wiring lol

Only front sway bar (gtr) item but it came with the HD links which will replace my rattleing stock ones

Not sure how much of an upgrade it will be over the stock item but I'll report back once its in

Yeah: thought about that, but realistically, the heat from the transmission making the screen go dark is the major issue: thinking I'll just bite the bullet and go LED. Plus, it's nice to have new stuff!

In the meantime, I'm getting the front windows tinted and repainting the wheels and brakes so the whole car will look pretty fresh when it finally hits the tarmac again...

Not exciting but I washed the front half of the 25G. We are on tank water here , and as it has not rained for nearly four months the tanks are low.

If I had washed the whole car I would not have been able to have a shower tonite.

Finally went round to Supershit and picked up a cheap mobile phone holder to mount the Informeter to the vent. It's been out of the car for over a year, so it's about time it went to good use.

I think there are a few guys with them mounted this way. Bracket cost about $10, I think it should work well. Should be useful with the upcoming changes to the cooling system and intake, to measure the before and after.

And while I was taking pictures, I don't think I ever posted any of the EVC setup...

So I mounted the display over between the cluster and the pop up screen:

Under the bonnet, I'm hoping that it's pretty subtle:

With the stepper motor mounted under the new battery cover:

The extra wiring you can see next to the stepper motor is for the F-con intake temp and MAP sensors. The FPR will be mounted on the left, next to the stepper motor.

Saturday morning I'm going down to fit Scotty's cooling mod, then I'll hopefully leave the car with AM Performance next weekend to finish the intake while I'm in Melbourne.

Still no intake?

Still no cooling mod?

:P

Hey, I got the cooling mod Tuesday! I didn't have any silicone otherwise it'd be in already! :nyaanyaa:

Intake is waiting for Andrew to get an opening, he's pretty busy at the moment.

BTW Scotty, PM me your phone number, might try and drop by when I'm in Melbourne if you're about.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.

      Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts.

      Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha

      Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
