Bit of an update

HKS kit not coming now, i decided against it at last minute due to couple reasons

1. It's WAY too easy to get carried away when building a car which is what i nearly did here, this car is a weekend drive car not a strip monster so going with these turbo's was way too much overkill and would of most likely turned car into a strip only vehicle which i definately don't want

2. This is probably the main reason actually, i'm venturing out on my own with new business which requires a SUBSTANTIAL outlay in anyones books so any extra i had laying around for this car has now been injected into new business account to get up and running

So where to from here?

Given time i will fit set of -5 turbo's, cams, intercooler and new ECU then that will be about it, after all i want to use this car and keep it streetable

I have also toyed with selling it and buying a 34 R later on

Time will tell

I hear you mate.

It is very easy to loose focus when building theses things. I know I have over indulged with mine :O

I'm glad you realized this before it was too late. I have the same moto as you re maintaining a street able car.

-5's are an excellent choice and there are many cars now that show how good they really (and how powerful they can be).

Good luck with the rest Brett.

Bit of an update as it's been a while

Tried selling the car to buy an R34 GTR but no one wants to spend there money buying new cars at moment

So what does one do when presented with this scenario?

Keep modding of course :yes:

Thought i'd finally upgrade the brakes as this is pretty much the final piece that needed attending to underneath the car

So just bought these

No sign of the HKS turbo kit yet though :angry:

Sent email through and they say it was sent around week ago through e-go but i never recieved even email from ego which they usually send and i notice he still has this system listed on ebay - if not seen by end of week then i have no option than to start proceedings to get money back

I felt like xmas had come early this afternoon when this arrived at front door :yes:

Once all unpacked it looked a little something like this

Yepp, 1 complete top mount HKS turbo kit capable of upto around 1000HP :w00t:

Not going to unwrap everything though as need to build motor before these are attached but did unwrap a couple of things to have a look at

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
