Oil has had Engine flush through it. Dropped the oil and put Diesel grade oil through for a different type of clean (Basically 15w40 oil with Detergents in it). If this comes out good then the next oil will be Royal Purple.

:)

Buying some Iridium plugs today. Next plans will hopefully be some new bushes,new air filter and maybe a brand new Bosch Z32 AFM because im sick of 17 yr old AFMs acting like 17 YR old AFMs.

Slowly getting there. Have Decided (mostly) that i will be putting the Impul rims back on and striving towards restoring this car to its Original Visual Quality

As ive decided this just isn't a car that should be tampered with too much, seeing as its somewhat rare and has its own style from factory.

Didn't end up getting Iridiums(Thought that was what we were getting but mate picked these up).

201111261717111200x9001323882562.png

Up on ramps ready to Take gearbox out for new clutch installation.

During which i found out that the car also has Impul Swaybars :)

Clutch,Flywheel and throwout bearing had certainly seen better days.

Pulled out Injectors. Bit of gunk here and there.

201112111333541200x9001323883025.png

201112111334341200x9001323883025.png

Had spare injectors from my previous RB25DET (f**ked Piston 6) in my previous Blue Skyline.

so sent them in for Reconditioning and Flow test(2 were a bit low initially but all tip top now :) ).

So just had to swap injectors there and then. Too easy :)

201112111406571200x9001323884203.png

All done.

Machined Flywheel.

How ya gettin onnnn Throwout bearing?

Gearbox oil was low but still decent oil. has a cocktail of whatever it had,Some Penrite 75 and a fair bit of DX3.

Falls under the category of "Thats what it gets" for now. Plan to buy some Smurfs Blood soon.

Havent started car yet as we finished after midnight but will see how it goes soon.

Next up is New 255s for the Impul Rears and Possibly some Diff oil.

Done Deal.

So yeah car was having dramas with hitting boost. Changed all 3 ECU/Fuel pump Relays and that fixed it a lot. Now it just needs a proper tune.

Tune is Scheduled for Saturday 14th and i cant wait!

First Port of Call :D

Have been inspired to possibly try and source a roof spoiler further down the track.

I also legally get to drive around with one number plate on the rear for at least 2 weeks as i put in an order for my plates to be reprinted. :D

Happy New Year,Peace.

Installed New HKS pod filter using a metal adapter bought from Autobarn specifically labelled to be for R33 2.5L.

But no, Didnt fit as planned lol. Got it on on an angle with only 2 bolts then used some washers with the other bolts to hold the other 2 sides down.

Pretty sure a headlight restoration is on the cards hopefully very soon :)

Did a bit of a height check. Not very happy as previously stated with my ride height for legal purposes but oh well for now i guess.

So yeah some Fuel pump issues arose where fuel would just cut out at random moments a few times each trip

and there was also a problem where the revs would drop below now idle level,recover and then stall..

Installed my spare fuel pump from my first 4 door today which seems to have fixed the intermittent fuel problem but the stalling has happened once or twice on a trip but definitely running better and sounding better :)

Tune is prospected for next Saturday and i cant wait as im driving around on no boost :(

1 positive is that i can do much lower speeds in higher gears than in my previous stock skylines so its not so bad just cruisin around off boost. 30 in second at 2100rpm sounds beautiful :P

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
