Dude it's looking super sweet!!

I'm going to put down 185rwkw

Can't wait to get my cam regrind down.

Once you have your dyno sheet can you post it up so it'll give me a good idea of what cams (reassure myself of my cam choice) im going to drop in.

No simulator used

the trumpets follow 1 rule, shorter for higher rpm/ top speed, longer for more torque. i wanted torque but didn't have the room :-(

Headers are the same as the hurricane rb30 interference length with a rb26 bolt pattern welded on, but soon as i get the funds ill take it to a guy i know that will work out the right length for the block volume, comp ratio, cams, porting flow figures etc, they will set me back 1800

For now im just focusing on getting the car back

Update;

Micks motorsports: you'll have the car back in 2 weeks

2 weeks later

Micks motorsports: you done a shit job with the linkages

me: *face palm* lol ok so how long?

Micks motorsports: well i won't be able to start it for a few weeks but ill try to get it back by end of July

end of July

Micks motorsports: we're flat out not enough hours in a day

me: look at your work load and give me a realistic time

Micks motorsports: end of august beginning of September

end of first week of September

Micks motorsports: haven't had time promise end of next week

end of the next week

Micks motorsports: not ready, won't be able to start it until the week after next, got a race meet on next weekend. But you will have it for the long weekend

(the photos above were taken then)

yesterday was well past 3 months since i took it to him, nothing has been done since i left it there. every other car gets put inside his workshop and mine is protected by a crappy fence and pad lock.

I took it to him cause i know he is the best with Japanese cars and n/a cars but obviously he doesn't want to work on it, and being the only car out the front shows he doesn't care. So my patients has run out.

Time to look for a new tuner

(i know the forum rules, you can't dis a business, I'm not saying he does a shit job, and ill still stand by what i say, he is still the best i know of with what he does, i took it to him knowing he is not the quickest)

poor form by the workshop.

I would have pulled the car and told him to jam it after the first time.

P.s re: the intake runner length.

Bends dont affect the airflow (providing they arent super sharp 90d bends) and add length.

making some that curl upwards should give an extra couple of inches

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
