Not really much an update:

Bough a nismo adjustable fuel pressure reg to up the fuel pressure a little as ill probally use the stock injectors with a bigger turbo, and z32 afm. If not i might try to find some S15 injectors and use them aswell.

Also i have put a deposit on one of these:

For the people that don't know its a GTSR manifold and there was probally only 800 - 900 cars made, with maybe a few spare ones in the nissan wearhouse world wide. The guy is in no rush to sell it and hasn't advertised it anywhere i just got lucky when he pm'd me saying he had one :nyaanyaa: . Only problem is it doesn't have a heat shield but i guess i will live.

Hopefully i will have it in a couple of months as i have applyed for my old job back as a second job to bring in some more money.

How so AFAIK RB20 and RB25 exhaust gaskets are the same so wouldn't the manifold's be the same too? I know i will have to re do cooler pipes and the dump pipe but i wasn't aware of anything else, apart from moving loom, rotating the turbo etc.

Got a few little more goodies over the last month.

Oil temp gauge

Bonnet pins

550cc Jecs injectors

Still saving hard for the GTSR manifold i will have it before i got to Europe. Thinking i might get the turbo i bought off my mate rebuilt and z32 afm sometime later in the year, as my job is looking promicing pay wise with alot of changes happening later on in the year. Wouldn't mind some Tomei pon cams and some other little goodies but ill have to see how we are once we move into our place.

Got a package this morning from datberger off the r31skylineclub. Ever since i heard a GTSR i have allways wanted one of the manifolds and now i can safely say i have one! After all the time i spent looking for one he pm'd me saying he has one he might let go, so of course i couldn't pass up the offer. The turbo attached will be the turbo I'm getting high flowed and rebuilt. Couple of pics:

Apart from getting the turbo done the only other thing on my list with out it getting even more out of hand is to get the injectors cleaned and flow tested against each other!

Bigger updates to follow at the end of the year :yes: .

Got one of these from work today! Put it on the old interest free account that keeps on getting higher by the month, i have also ordered the genuine mesh for the other side so it will match. Once i get my front bar off and the hole cut ill give it to my painter to match the paint too the bar and the vent will get a lick of paint!

Ill use the drivers side for the oil cooler and the passanger side for a CAI once i remake the intake pipe up when the manifold/turbo is installed.

Turbo was sent off to be rebuilt and highflowed on Thursday!

Injectors went down to MTQ on Friday to get cleaned and flow tested.

Front bar will be coming off this weekend and will be ready to take to the painters on Monday morning to have the vent matched.

Also looking into options for a half cage in the back. Still retaining the trims and roof lining just getting rid of the rear seats.

More info and pics to follow next week.

Well i got the turbo back from hypergear! Pretty happy with it except my garrett front housing couldn't have been used but ill live.

Much larger now but i wont be able to see what it can do until roughly late next year when i have finished building her.

Im saving for a Z32 afm from Ev at Garage 7 currently aswell as a few other little goodies he's going to hook me up with soon!

Next year is the build year so im hoping i will have 99 percent of everything i want with little spending on other parts. But we all know how that will end up...

As the weeks tick down until Europe the funds dry up! Hoping everything will work out though.

Well i haven't updated this in ages a quick run down. Im back from Europe and about to move into our place so once my shed is built its game on for the old girl. Parts i have collected over the last few months are:

Powersteering cooler with push on hose

Nardi deep corn with blue stitching. Boss kit

Bride vio fixed seat

Harness

30mm RCA

Factory Nissan vent mesh aswell as the drivers side vent. Thanks to work

Braided brake lines and clutch line

Surge tank set up

Solid steering bush

S15 adj front links, D bushs, link bushs front and rear. Rear controll arm bushs

Maybe a few other things but thats all i can think of for now. II have some Tomei pon cams and an 044 pump lined up in the next few weeks thanks to a SAU member!

I have a rather expensive list made up that has some really nice goodies that i would like to get now i have freed up some cash!!

WP_000239.jpg

Only a weekends work :whistling:

I moved the old girl into the carport of our place for the time been until the shed gets built. After not driving her for well over a year i was excited to drive her there so i borrowed the trade plate one Friday night just to make sure i would make it haha.

Apart from that i really cannot wait to get stuck in and start making it all come together!!!

Stay tuned.

Recieved all my bushes and s15 adjustable links yesterday. I can add +/- 0.25 camber and toe this shall help with my fitment as the rear tyres are scrubbing the guards, ill also be doing some light guard work to help them fit in a little better. I think the only bushes i have left to do is the rack from memory.

I also picked up last week some Hel braided brake lines front and rear, clutch line, 4M of push on hose for my surge tank and powersteering cooler aswell as a variety of -8N speedflow fittings for the surge setup. All thanks to Evan at G7.

Thanks mate. Some big updates and progress to come in the next few months once i settle into our new place! I can't wait to get her out again and go for a squirt through the hills on a low key cruise. Keen to do some track days too with the SAU boys but only time will tell.

Aiming for AJD 2014 for the revile after been in a "build" (if you can call it a build) over the last few years!

    • 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
    • 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. 
    • 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.
