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

Will tie in perfectly with overall theme of car with gold nur engine covers etc ;)

Some more parts awaiting arrival

Couldn't believe this HKS kit was still available

2ndly the carbon plate and -12 fittings arrived for the N1 covers

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

I had to laugh whilst unpacking though, i was thinking how the hell does this all go together :rofl2:

That'll be job of engine builder me thinks :yes:

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.
    • post up screen shots of your injector tables
    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
