After spending the past 4 hours reading through this thread, I have come to the conclusion on a few things:

1) I should probably get back to work

2) There is a lot of things that I still do not understand

3) I plan on building a 34 GTR myself, but I have much better ways to spend 3 years and god knows how much money on this kind of indepth project. Though, I admire the patience, skill, knowledge and workmanship that has been put into this magnificent machine. This is truly remarkable and will hopefully change the future of modifcation of RB engines, and cars in general - especially if this venturi manifold does spool that turbo in the way and at the engine speed that it should.

Just a couple of questions Bobby. I know you have probably done many more calculations than I have on the following question/comment concerning the air compressor to try make boost on idle.. We had a shop engine we were trying to do the same thing to, and we could only make a measly 5psi after having 3 lines of shop air tapped into the manifold pointing directly at the impeller - obviously we could only get such low compression because the impeller runs off volume rather than pressure. How do you manage to overcome this?

Also - 3 years is a long time to be working on this project, how did you stay motivated up to this point? I certainly would have lost interest and even reading the thread I skipped a few pages at the end haha.

You were involved in building one of my mates' r34, I think you named it goldfinger. I can see now why he chose your company to build his car because you obviously have the willingness to go the extra mile for your customers as shown in his car, and in this thread. +1 to you and to your team. If I ever have the money (haha not in my lifetime) to do something as dramatic as this, it will be a no brainer who to go to. Good luck with the rest of the build.

Thanks mate.

I will have to ask John in more detail on how he is going to set it up as i know using co2 works as it expands 500 times when it hits heat.

I have stayed positive as the fab work was amazing and i said to myself i just have to stick it out not more the time frame.

Khris car comes back tomorrow will post up some pics of the finished product.

Great effort you must be chuffed!

Regarding your M800, did retain the original ecu for anything minor or has it been removed completely?

I ask this as I have been running both for the last 6 years.

The workshop that fitted/tuned it said it still needed both at the time.

Fantastic car anyway and all the best with it.

Hello Bobby,

I am very interested to know what you did to make it stand alone.

I think my original was left to run Atessa with the TPS signal.

Realise this all costs money and am more than willing to pay for a wiring diagram and the additional MotecM800 setting.

All the best with the car

Mike

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      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.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      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.
