Cheers man Finally got a bit more done to the car in the last few weeks. I sorted out all my boost lines for my actuators and then put my starter motor and front drive shaft back in. I got a new water line for the front turbo and fitted them all up. I fitted my blowoff valves but had to later remove them again to fit the new intercooler piping which I finally nagged my mate enough to come and weld up. (really I ended up painting his interior of his 33 for him while he did the welding lol). Also picked up some tyres off another SAU member down here.

Like I said finally got my intercooler piping made up but realised when I had taken off my front housings off my turbo's I hadn't rotated them enough to clear my strut brace so I ended up having to modify the twin turbo pipe a bit but it's all good now.

With my cooler piping I decided to paint them satin black. Mainly because the polished alloy took away from the cam covers a bit and it's a pain to maintain but also looks a little more factory incase the po-po get to nosy lol. I still need to make up my intakes which we will hopefully start this weekend but stainless isn't quite as easy to work with so might take a bit longer than the alloy stuff. I also moved the power steering resivoir to make room for them. I managed to get my oil cooler mounted and the guards and sideskirts back on the car so it's starting to look like a car again.

I'm waiting on a heap of reducers and joiners for my piping and need to sort out the plumb back for the blowoff valves but once I get them sorted out and wire up my junction boxes where the battery used to be it should be very close to being able to start. I'm sure I'll find a few more little things before then but it's so close I can nearly smell it!

Quality work man. Dedication is the word

Quality work man. Dedication is the word

Cheers man it's getting there. Well I have finally got it pretty much all back together now. I bought a new 750hp walbro fuel pump and put that in had to mod the cradle a bit but worked out ok. I also wired up the direct feed relay to it so it runs straight off the battery. Since the battery had been relocated to the boot it originally had brass junction boxes in the engine bay connecting up all the wires. I went to try and get some more appropriate ones but couldn't find any so I decided to wire a kill switch in for the positive and just earth the negatives out to the chassis. I bought some black and clear perspex sheeting to make a sheild for my intakes so I decided to use some of the black to make a mount for the kill switch.

I finally got all my silicone joiners I was waiting for so I got all my cooler pipes connected and my mate made up my intakes and blowoff valve returns for me so I got all those plumbed in. I also had to paint the twin turbo pipe where I had modifyed it earlier.

Once I had bolted the fuel tank back in I put the decat pipe back in and filled the transfer case I decided it was finally time to get it down off the chocks so thats what I did. Once back in the land of the living I thought I would be nice and give my brother his shed back so we put the bonnet back on and rolled it out into the driveway for the first time in a year and a half!

I went back on sunday and gave it a wash for the second time since I've had it lol and bled the brakes, clutch and abs. I plumbed in the boost lines for the blowoff valves too. I also put the fan on and tightened the fan belt ready to go. I put the shifter all back in and the dash as well so it's finally looking more like a car again.

Now all I've got left to do is tighten one of the heater hose clamps, hook up a boost controller, put the radiator in and fill with coolant, fill the engine with oil hook up the battery and it should be ready to fire up. Should be a pretty good easter.

which hooligan did you let weld that shit up? sack sack sack LOL

start up soon!

Yeah lucky I didn't have to pay the bastard lol. Na they look the shit on the car man. Hopefully turn it over on Sat or sunday depending if you go fishing or not. Just got your message but my phones still being a bitch.

[Mr. Untouchable]

yeah pencil in Saturday. Weather forcast at this stage is scary, could be a datsun weekend.

[Mr. Untouchable]

its ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!

good to hear ,any videos?

good to hear ,any videos?

Thanks man it is good to hear that's for sure. We spent all arvo saturday and half of Sunday checking things cause it wouldn't fire. Looked like it wasn't getting spark so we thought maybe CAS but I took it off and turned it by hand and the injectors were pulsing. Removed all the plugs and tested them and had spark so obviously not spark. When we had the plugs out we could see that the tops of the pistons looked like they were dry as a chip plugs were dry too so must be a fueling issue. Long story short pulled reg off, checked all the plumbing to make sure I had the lines the right way round checked pump wiring even turned pump on with the reg out just to make sure we were getting fuel up to the rail. I was about to take the rail off and check the injectors when one of the guys form down here messaged jack on Facebook and mentioned to check that the injectors weren't high impedance. Upon reading the info they came with it turns out they are and we needed to bypass the resistor box. Searched the net for about half an hour for info on how to do this but couldn't find anything which I thought was odd considering that this would've been done a thousand times over but in the end we used logic that with 7 wires coming out of the resistor one being white the rest black and only the white one having power when dissconnected that they must simply be chopped and joined together. 30 seconds later we checked injector pulse to see if it was more that the 3-5 volts we were getting before and it sounded like it was starting to fire so plugged everything back up and away it went! Started first pop and sat there and idled away no problems couldn't wipe the smile off my face lol. Anyway I've got 3 or four videos I've only uploaded 1 to YouTube at the moment but I'll put the others up tonight and link them all here not unless someone can tell me how to actually host the video here so people don't have to click a link?

[N1GTR]

Easy done, whats the link to the video on youtube? You'll need that before embedding

I'll have to get on a computer as I'm only on my iPhone at the moment but I posted a link in the tassie section here:

My link

[N1GTR]

Well from Iphone you need the URL, so go to the video on the phone under the youtube app, go to the share video button and then click email. It will then give you the URL in an email, cut and paste the URL but only copy up until the "&". Simply insert the copied URL into a post on here on it's own line and SAU should do the rest for you. I have done it below for you, if you aren't sure, click "reply" to my post and read the URL in there for yourself which will be down two lines after the end of this sentence.

gotta love the internet haha congrats man sounds great

[trustr32]

Cheers for that N1GTR thats so simple I would have never worked it out lol. Thanks for the congrats too BK1990 I cant wait to get it tuned and out on the road. I've only ever driven it 3 times so it'll be interesting just learning how to drive the friggin thing (and a bit of fun) Anyway I've got a water leak I need to fix and I want to replace the FPR cause it's leaking out one of the fittings and I'm just not 100% happy with it. Other than that I need to plumb in the boost controller, bleed the coolant, check the oil level once it's run for a bit, get my air filters and bolt them on and make a catch can up for it and it should be right to send off to the tuners. I'll hopefully talk to him this week and book it in for as soon as I can and just work the rest around that. Then comes roadworthy...........

[SiR_RB]

You gonna run it in before you get it tuned? Just to let everything settle in before pumping boost into it?

[trustr32]

Yeah man definately am. I'm gonna chat to the tuner this arvo hopefully. I just want him to give it a once over to double check everything for me and set it up with a run in tune. I bought the power fc second hand so I have no idea what's on there at the moment. I never built this for outright numbers just as a well setup hopefully capable car so I'm not looking to wring it's neck especially straight away. I'll let him set it up and give it a once over then put a couple of thousand kms on it or what ever he recommends then take it back in for a proper tune. I still need coilpacks and z32's before then anyway.

[Mr. Untouchable]

You do know what's on the PFC, the factory apexi map, I reset it. And 1000's scaled at 50% not saying that's ideal but don't say you don't know, you raging gay pole smoker

I CAN quite happily say I dont know! I didn't look at the hand controller I know YOU might know But all I know is some trife that you dribbled in my ear about scaling the injectors and selecting AFM's you never told me you reset it so I guess that means YOUR the pole smoker! Also if you've got nothing constructive to say like where I might get that ally plate for my catch can from this arvo or what sard FPR I should get cause there is about a million on the net then dont get on here ranting and raving and giving me shit.

[Mr. Untouchable]

Get alu from ullrich noys on Albert rd, down the road past nuts n bolts heading towards the brooker. Get 1 metre or 2 if u have to of 150mm wide in 4mm thick
