well oil pump has been installed and running.

BUT......

i drove the car to get petrol last night, ran smooth.

drove it to tuners perfect.

waited for tuner to arrive, started it to move it onto dyno, no oil pressure.

dash gauge showing 0, red light on, defi gauge showing 0.

cracked the oil feed line off the turbo to see if it was dodgy gauges, no oil pressure.

like WTF!!!

any tips or ideas?

nice power figure. and that torque curve is awesome

btw how good is craigs work. that guy is seriously amazing the way he can just look at something, figure everything out in his head and just build something that'll fit perfect first time

to be honest we dont know..

pulled the pump back off, pulled the gears out and they were fine, cleaned the PRV and that was fine.

pulled checked the oil filter and all the oil cooler lines and they were fine

removed the oil cooler and used the standard position oil filter no change

chucked some compressed air up the oil galleries whent he sump was off and seemed to push a bit of oil out the pickup.

cleaned the sump, pickup and put it back together and its fine?? lol

Nice power :) I saw you mentioned lack of low end when you posted in the dyno results thread, Nistune don't support VCT right? Coming up with something to get around that (or just upgrading to a G4 Link/some other good aftermarket ECU) should get you bringing boost in a few hundred rpm quicker and making a good amount more torque for the same boost level if you haven't got it engaging already.

ahhhhh thats why when im comparing its different hahaha.. vct boys..

yeh im going to buy a nos rpm switch.

but also going to play around with preload settings on the wastegate once i have fitted the stiffer spring..

had a track day at mallala monday 11/4/11

engine was amazing, abit laggy but im working on that with vct.

595ss dont do any good for track so they will be ditched for some semi slicks.

the guards are gonna get molested more to fit some 245/40/18 semis

getting some rear camber arms to bring the camber to closer to 0

my r34gtt brakes wont seem to bleed properly so all day i had very soft and low pedal. any ideas?

today i started to strip the body to get ready for respray. and to fix all the dents and to get my guards flared more.

and pics of the car today

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
