It's been a busy week for the old girl.

New bars added into to cage so I can get her log booked and enter TSS. Time is running out though! I really need to get a move on if I'm going to make it. The expensive things are done now though :)

Taking the motor out to get a freshen up before her TSS debut.

Cooked-ah!

Piston from that cylinder looks about the same. Top ring turned it's self into a 3 piece :P

All the bearings are pretty broken, even the cams were a little sore so I reckon it's run out of oil at some stage :/ Or oil surge from before I got my new sump hurt it.

Head Gasket blew on pots 1,2,3 and 4.

So yeah, pretty good day in the workshop today, learnt lots and had fun. Massive thanks to Martin and Lloyd at Tas Mobile Mechanic for helping me pull the motor down. :)

Not sure what to do now, I'm thinking because I'm only aiming for 300rwkw, I should get a stock motor and just slap my rocker covers, plenum, sump and turbo on it and go rip some skids.

Another option is to get a turbo motor that needs a rebuild and get the good fruit from my motor and put it in that and make it all nice again.

I'm leaning more towards the first option, mostly because Nissan are a lot better at building motors than me and it'll get me back on the track a lot quicker. The only thing I'd be really worried about is oil control and oil pump, so I'll have to be nice to it and stay off the limiter :P

hi guys

I have been watching this site for a while and i can see why so many cars get stolen or stripped,i am just as much to blame,we are all very proud and brag about our cars but unfortunatly there are a few arsholes out there that are making the most of our hard woirk and ripping the cars off.

I have had few::: but this is my opinion, Also when we cruise lets keep the detailes to a minium as the cops arn"t stupid and can catch alot of us out being a bit spirited during the cruise.;

This post confuses me greatly. Wut?

Agreed..

Stuart, what the f**k are you talking about?

And yes, id love a neo too. Just need the cash...

Any one want to buy some tyres? :P

Neo's are decent, but it would be an added pain in the ass, Your plazmaman wont bolt up nor will your injectors, they run less duration and more lift plus dual stage vct, so it will most likely cock up your tune. That said better piston/ring land and combustion chamber design with lower comp and of course solid lifters makes them pretty reliable especially if you ran it on R33 electrics and on an R33 76deg thermostat but still you're paying a fair amount for an unopened second hand motor generally with unknown history. I'd go a stocker cheapo 33 or a basic built motor (hint, hint) for sure.

Edited by SKiT_R31

should be able to bolt the whole manifold up, afaik the freddy manifolds are the same

if the plazman is the one that replaces the top half of the manifold then you'd probably have to swap the r33 lower half onto the neo motor

then your injectors would work

would definitely need a retune, would be interesting to see a before and after tho

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
