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....

is getting serious

i like it :woot:

LOL not really, just sick of the issues so doing it right! :D

Needs more updates

Updates coming soon, the shop has been closed but the car will be back in action soon as i have some events i want to be in this month :yes:

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
