Not much achieved on the weekend, resprayed the radiator air deflector as it was flaking..... Replaced some dodgy bolts with nicer stainless items and cleaned up the 2 front A/C brackets, so much to do.........

The fuel cooler is setup from the return line to the cooler then to the surge tank.

Ahh ok cool, the same way i've done it then.

Is this the 'best' location for it?

Have any of you guys got a temp sensor in your fuel system somewhere? If so, where?

I'm putting one in mine, my idea was to have it in the return line just before the fuel cooler.

No temp sensor in mine at this stage, however i would love to be able to monitor it....

And yes i believe the location is the only spot for it, it is setup similar to the Z tune i think :)

I would put the sensor just before the fuel rail so you know what temperature the fuel is when it gets to the engine. Knowing what it is pre-cooler doesn't help much?

My reason for putting the temp sensor post fuel reg, in between the fuel cooler is this should theoretically be the hottest part of the fuel system?

I would imagine so, either location is still going to give you an indication if the fuel temps are rising.... I still find my surge tank getting hot which i dont think is normal, however everything is running optimal so i guess it is?

One thing i did learn is that the fuel cooler has ruined my normal jacking up procedure, if i jack the back first it makes the front too low, now if i jack the front first i get this -

LOL and yes that is a snap on super low jack already!

All good, will just have to change the way i do it!

And i broke another POS ISC arm in the rear, they flog out or break in no time! Garbage! So i replaced it with more cheap stuff for now until i can afford to do it properly -

GKTech make billet ones, no welds ;)

This will need to be my next purchase i think! I have now replaced the shitty ISC front caster rods with GKTECH arms and the car feels so much better! And they are so light too!

How is the tank plumbed from top to bottom?

There are 4x hoses that connect to the surge tank. All should be at different heights. But some tank are different.

Eg theres two ways to dot it.

From top to bottom;

1.

- Return to main tank

- Return from fuel rail

- Feed from main tank lift pump

- Feed to main pressure pump(s)

2.

- Return from fuel rail

- Return to main tank

- Feed from main tank lift pump

- Feed to main pressure pump(s)

Which way is yours done?

The 1st option heats the fuel as the surge tank has to be pressurised to return fuel to the main tank. The main pressure pump and the lift pump have to work harder to fully fill the surge tank allowing fuel to flow out of the top fitting back to the main tank.

You want a small air gap at the top of the surge tank with the return line back to the main tank jn between the return from the rail and the lift pump inlet.

If that makes sense?

I just double checked so i didnt get it completely wrong :P

Fuel tank to surge tank, feeds twin 044s to twin lines to each side of rail, center of rail returning via fuel reg to return line to surge tank over flow to fuel cooler into fuel tank, tank feeds surge.

Loving the build mate. Engine bay looks clean and stealthy...

Thanks mate! Makes it well worth it when not only do i get to enjoy the car BUT i get people appreciating the hard work and money etc that goes into such a build ;)

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
