Hi guys havent been on in ages... havent had access to a pc been using my iphone but only going as far as uploading to facebook to get my pics since the site doesnt have the ability to upload pics via mobile...

Well ive come a long way since my last post ill give a quick rundown on whats happend thus far.

My racepace built sump arrived and was a work of art ! loved every bit of it, the sum was installed btw was a prick of a job :D

turbo / hot side was complete with all factory lines running thanks to the NITTO head oil drain which i was glad to be the 1st public owner! and it does wonders for people trying to maintain factory lines.

Recoed my alternator only reason was it looked like shit on the motor so i decided to sandblast and paint the housings but everything fell out (never pulled one appart) so i decided to replace bearings etc and it turned out amazing !

the intake side consisted of drilling holes on the intake runner for the D-jetro using all the tomei gaskets supplied... recoing the AAC unit and replacing every worn out hose with silicone ones also using awesome hoseclamps that dont tare into the silicone

Cam covers turned out sexy as with the decision to go polished manifested in my head thanks to my dads gorgeous jaguar engine bay i was then convinced i had to !

The oil filter housing / cooler / heat exchanger needed a new oring which was not supplied i had to find one at work that worked LOL but its all good fits perfectly i wish i had the cash to get a oil relocation / cooler now....!

im at the point now where i have the entire fuel system minus injectors... but i am not going to install the system as i wont be able to chek for leaks / problems by running the car if i install it... the d-jetro will want to learn idle.. there for i am not installing the ecu just yet...

as i cant let my new baby idle..

standard ecu / injectors will be installed ( injectors got tested for $165 and i will sell the injectors for $250 later on after initial run / test is achieved) . after testing is done ill install my fuel system and tow to my tuner ( trent @ status ) to see what she can do :)

now all thats left is time... and some front drive shaft boots and were getting there :D

Pics below .

Hi guys,

Im happy to let you all know that the install and first start / run was a success everything worked out well, as my first rebuild i think i did a decent job on it and learned a shit load!

at the moment the cars running but we have issues and i suspect its the fuel delivery but also can be something to do with electronics, whats happening is ...

cylinders 3 / 4 are not firing spark has been checked and is working to both 3 and 4... and using noid lights injector cables were tested and seem ok...

igniter and ecu were also swaped and checked all seem ok...

i took it to a trusted mechanic / specialist on gtr/s and they also swapped over injectors to see if they fault in other cylinders but it just seems to be only 3 and 4.....

diagnosis will continue on the 24th of this month as hes away overseas for business...

to add we did a comp test to make sure it was not something i installed wrong or fkd up... all cylinders have 160 psi ( without being run in yet)

at the moment im really happy the cars running and ok mechanically and small issues can be fixed

to be honest im really proud of myself and i need to thank sau for providing alot of the info i needed for the build and the books i spend like 200 bux on lol!

ill upload dyno results when i get it on there and all issues are attended to...

Just a small list of the shit that got done prior to the drop in...

drive shafts were re booted, nismo mounts installed etc p/s hoses replaced whole engine bay got cleaned / polished best as possible .

Had to stick with my twin plate clutch which isent to bad atm works great may invest in nismo cylinder and clutch line to make it better..

waiting on R34 gtr center badge for valley cover and new twin turbo logo as i sprayed the inlet pipes black .... went for a neat look ..

running 15w40 Penrite running in oil (mineral based) took 9 litres engine ran / warmed up and did a quick oil and filter change after like 10 mins running atm running another sump full of running in oil ..for the next 1000klm

any tips on running the bastard in would be great im planing on just keeping revs varying and taking it on the freeway to do that... is 1000klm enough i also herd more like 5000klm.... but i dont wana run the oil for that long...

anyway pics below ill post up new info when cars ready for dynoing

oh oh! i got my injectors btw :D id1000s :) (not bosch )

and scored some 2nd hand cusco coilovers !

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
