Nice work guys, looks like she's going to be a sleeper engine bay.:ph34r: If you decide to get any of the exhaust ceramic coated down the track; let me know, I know a guy who's a perfectionist.:thumbsup:

Lol @ "Daleo magic" ; I thought you & the missus were looking the other way while I was shagging your manifold. Mmmm, cast irony...:3some:

looking forward to the finished article.

passed by last night just before 7 as i was in the area, only to find the gate locked haha. Thought u guys must've been exhausted and hit the sack already.

looking good so far! obviously not as staright forward as my supercharger setup, but look like this kit will be pefrect for PM35 aswell!

Well, did a little bit more on the car today...The ECU harness is now out of Medium/well done territory, heat wrapped and out of the way of the exhaust, as are whatever else could be moved from the back of the motor. Re-assembled the coolant piping, and trial fitted the intake which looks good. Bad news is that the Fabricator is in Fiji until next week, so that slows process down. In the mean time I'd like to sort out the rest of the intake, intercooler, and whatever bits and pieces are left over. Cannot fit exhaust - will need fabrication. Also try and dump my ECU for sending over to Abbey motorsports for Uprev.

Looks the goods. Have you got a power ballpark you're expecting when its done?

Is it going to be tuned on 98 or E85?

Its going to be dyno'd RWD, on 98 (there is no E85 within 40kms of me....) Power- we'll just have to see. 240rwkw would be nice... but who knows. Thats what a 350z that had the kit just got. Dynos can read so differently, its more about how it drives- and I suspect it will be a torque monster!

Well, Intercooler is mounted up, with the intake piping post intercooler OK. Quite neat. I'll get pics when I can.

Was fun buzzing a hole in the front member to fit the cooler.... whistling.gif

Custom parts should be sorted early next week, so hopefully it'll be on the road by mid next week.

Spotted 4 NM35's at Stagea Garage this morning! Good to see Spoolin back on the road!

Nice work mate, you must be very pleased!

What custom parts have to be done?

Nice work mate, you must be very pleased!

What custom parts have to be done?

Just the turbo piping to the intercooler, and some work to the exhaust. Should be pretty straight forward.

That turbo to cooler pipe is a pain, especially getting around the driveshaft. Probably best to fabricate it from stainless for strength mate. Its coming along nicely.

How is the tuning side going?

Agree- Stainless is a good idea, I'll mention it to them.

Tuning, nothing much really. Enquiring if some tuners will use the Uprev software. I don't really want to dump the ECU until the car is back running. It needs good battery voltage to do so, otherwise the process won't run. Having a driveable car is a priority!

Well, today I dumped the ECU with the UPREV software and cable. 3 and a bit hours of waiting! Oh well. its done now. I have emailed it off to Abbey Motorsports in the UK. They are going to tell me if I can use the uprev software, which I am almost certain I can, and give me something able to be tuned and flashed!

Ever wondered how big an ECU was...?

The file I have is just 1mb of binary. For a very complex machine, the file is kinda small I thought....

In other news, I'm still waiting for this fabrication to be done....rant.gif

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
