So the choice was go 2nd hand and risk it again OR do it right the first time, i chose this way

Getting very serious now mate, I think it's probably fair to say our builds are no longer very similar :laugh:

Seriously, lookin farkin amazing!

Haha yeah well we may have got a tad carried away BUT I'm not touching the fuel system again, I've attended 2 SAU events and both have been embarrassing due to a shortcut from the start, the time came to let JEM work their magic and make the thing tough as nails....

The balancer was just bad luck, but hey more black parts to add to the build and another impressive name to add to the list....

Many people are asking if it will run more power now with the fuel system, I am pretty certain the answer is NO as its tuned safe, as much as I'd love that 500rwhp figure the turbo just won't do it I don't think....

I'll just be happy to drive it hard for once on full power for more than half a lap.... :)

What causes damage to the balancer?

Just age man! Its rubber and my car has done 145k or something like that..... So i wont be replacing it again anytime soon :D

Oh total secks, fapping at fuel setup & balancer....

do you still retain the A/C as well with that balancer?

Yeah everything is retained! Its like a stock replacement, only prettier! :D

ooh yezz... mabs I do the same hahaa..I was thinking of using a R34 Neo balancer on my R33 hahaahha.... don't want to shatter oil pumps and kapow motor

You wont when you see the price of them :O

Mine's done 170,000 might need to look at it then.

Surely you would go for one Balls and All tune to crack 500rwhp then back it off a touch.

Oh and as some may have noticed, the bonnet is freshly painted but does not yet have the lip back on as i havent had the time.......

You may want to run some allthread through the top and bottom flanges of the oil cooler to make sure its core is compressed/supported. When at temp if the thing just hangs from the top they can start to delaminate and damage the core. They need to be fully supported, especally if they are getting hit and banging around on a circuit.

New 25 balancers are about $300

Thats not too bad, for NEO as well?

Yeah wouldnt hurt to have a quick look!

Nope, pretty sure the turbo is maxed, not worth the risk for a number i guess.... As much as id love to have it :laugh:

What a nugget!!! :-P

Cant wait to cruise mate... its been a while!

Lol you clown ;) Hurry up and get the "Coz Racecar Evo" ready...

Thanks Roy, Appreciate the input... Ill see what i can do, maybe ill try incorporate a support when i work out the ducting etc....

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
