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!

    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
