Subscribed, nice work Steve, very much looking forward to this build.

Surprised your not going extra cc's to push that t04z....

Either way good luck with it all....

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh .... have a friend with a 2.7L and similar setup

i would like to see both cars on the dyno and track then review.

This will decide what treatment the spare bottom end gets.

Beer Baron - Engine building is done by Chris Abes, not sure what his title is, ex C&B engineer/builder?

He has built both motors currently in the Tilton EVO and BSM GTR. All other work done to the car is by

Matt @ F&E Autoworks

sounds good mate. can't doubt his pedigree then as both the tilton evo and BSM GTR are top shelf cars. I thought BSM built their own engines though speaking to Jeff but not everyone is 100% clear all the time and Jeff is pretty hard of hearing these days!!

I'm running a jun 2.7 in my car now too but with little HKS 2530s. tempted to switch to something single but about to start some testing on some new turbos so will see how they perform. :)

Hey Jack,

i noticed your selling the BBS's - any clearance issues with 285 rubber on your car? or anybody who can answer this

i have ordered some 295's :P

Beer Baron - Let me know if your interested in parting with the 25/30's :cheers:

Steve, no clearance issues with the 285's, have run them with 10.5'' ce28n's aswell without issues.

What profile are the 295's? 30? I'd be weary with that width on a 10.5 inch rim, make sure there isn't too much bulge in the tyre, otherwise you will get sidewall movement reducing grip. It may be ok but just keep it in mind....

What brand tyre are you going to use?

Profile on the tyres are 30 series - recommended rim width is 10-11 inch - i thought i would be pretty sweet with a 10.5inch rim.

I did run Ad08's last year in 285's and had some scrapage in hard corners. Im running some Korean tyres this time round :cool:

will let you know if I want to shift the 2530s but they are quite nice for now on the 2.7. it's running a motec and makes for a very responsive set-up. just needs some more power up top.

love the BBS LMs jack. I have some on my other 32. would LOVE these for my new 32. hmmm. very tempting. one of my fav R32 wheels but they do suffer a bit in the brake clearance department.

Yeah I have always had a soft spot for BBS LM's, but I have too many sets of wheels and need to get rid of some. You'd be surprised at the room they have for brakes, the Alcon 6 pot 365mm rotor package fits under these wheels no problem, was shocked when a fellow member bought the brakes and was worried they wouldn't fit under his wheels, and his were 18x9 not 18x10....

Anyway, back on topic, any updates Steve???

Hey guys,

yes this the the car that the gorilla supra babysat whilst i found the courage to break it to the mrs that this car is going to be

around for good.

SLLOOOOOWWWWLLLLYYY proggressing. Didnt realise there was so much shit to do and put back together after you spray a engine bay. Time is

of the essence as i need this thing tuned late next week to make the NSW sau track day on the 5th March. I would like to overlap the results

of this turbo setup with my mates -5 on a 2.6L and gtrs on a 2.7L

Im hoping that the shorter diff ratio with the six speed will make this car much more lively on the track - can anyone comment on this?

Heading into the workshop today to try and tinker with it. (It doesnt help when the mechanic is on cloud nine with his mrs and can only

think about closing the shop at 6pm everyday LOL )

:cheers:

Good to hear Steve, surprising how much you got to remove to respray an engine bay.

Short ratio duffs will help acceleration, but interesting to see how you would go at EC, long straight will test your car's gearing, just keep in mind you might reach the limiter in 6th before turn 1. Would definitely suit Wakefield though....

Where is the SAU track day?

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
