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 !

    • 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.
