Had a drama with the paint that was done on the front bar by the Repair shop as the paint wasn't a good colour match so they did it again.

So finally got it done due to rain holding it back and then got my front numberplate finally put in its final resting place:)

So time came to sort out my Clutch Master as it really wasn't loving life. Was going to cost $120 to recondition my current one or $140 for a new one of which the Boss of the Clutch shop divulged was actually a brand new Clutch Master for a D22 Navara because his son had done an RB25DET conversion on his Navara and he noticed they were the same one. This information relating to the fact most parts for Imports aren't listed, As is the case with a part number for an R33 Clutch master Cylinder. So what do i do? I hit up a mate at a 4X4 wrecking yard for a second hand D22 Navara Clutch Master Cylinder. Got myself a 2010 D22 Navara Clutch Master Cylinder with only 8000KM on it for $35 LOL.

Just had to change over the rod and hey presto :D

D22 Master is the clean one obviously.

Time came to get my front Calipers painted and front Rotors Machined(Slightly warped). Took it into my mates workshop and he sorted it out :)

201203170910451200x9001332332212.png

Someone chose the absolute worst colour of blue to paint the Calipers and Rotors lol.

Mate used a Gasket remover to take the paint off the Nissan.

201203171022171200x9001332332871.png

Caliper bolts get Silver Paint for the added touch.

201203171022451200x9001332332871.png

Clips get the Metho treatment.

So at this Juncture i state that i will hopefully be getting the rear Rotors and Calipers Painted this week along with Royal Purple going in my engine and then that's its for a long time. Karratha calls for me.

Cheers to everyone that appreciates this thread and Vehicle.

This build is the fruits of me and my best mates efforts :)

None of this could have been done without the Help,Work,effort,knowledge,Car-space,Equipment and time put in by Jarod. Cheer-Bro :cheers:

Looking really good mate, amazing how well it all comes together when small things like that are done. Keep it up!

Cheers dude! The time will come soon for you to get back into the game ;)

Looks awesome mate.

Welcome to WA in advance :P

Thank you kind Sir :P

looks pretty good now, gerry will never get another import! He'll turn into a vn driving redneck with 3 odd hubcaps and trying to swap broken fish tanks for skid wheels and police chips lol

Sorry dude, i don't live in Beenleigh anymore lol Plus my commodore driving days are long gone now!

I'll get another import, but, considering i live in a unit the size of a shoe box and have no garage, im in no real rush to be getting anything. But im really really starting to dig 4 door 33's. Might be looking into something like this at the of the year, if all else goes to plan that is lol So until then ill stay up till the late hours of the night looking at other peoples money pits lol

Rain held back getting the rears done but finally got round to it.

PFC picked up an intermittent random problem with my CAS in the higher range which halted the tune being pushed any further. realistic figure of 174rwkw on 12.5psi on a hot day with a CAS problem.

Tune is quite linear compared to the stock R33 tune. Feels more like a stock R34 tune but still a bit more fun to drive.

Will need to get a new CAS in the future and get some sort of Re-tune (As to whether it will be a bit of a tinker or a full retune is unknown)

Love your work mate. Looks unreal a little known fella here on the goldy luke fink has one forsale I think his was the first I've ever seen then stumbled across yours love the gunmetal grey looks great with the impul swaybars and all the other stuff would you say it handles better than a normal 4 door? I'm not going to buy a 2 door ever again love the 4 doors truley converted hehe.

4 door has a 20mm larger rear overhang same wheelbase and same underbody setup as a 2 door. Handles exactly the same as a 2door.

I disagree. I have owned 2 4 doors and 1 2 door. 2 door seems more snappy and unpredictable when you cut loose whereas 4 door seems easier to control. Weight is in different areas and 4 door is heavier along with shape of roof and height and whatever. My lowered 4 door still had a higher roof than my 2 door on stock suspension.

nice work here mate, the BN SPORTS front was a good choice!

You live in karratha? Im guessing the car is over east still?

From Hedland thats all. Keep it up :thumbsup:

Thanks :)

Yeah mate living in Karratha. Impul is over east. Will give it some time and maybe get a respray and a new crank angle sensor then prob get it trained to Perth and then bring it up.

Right now im rocking out with a 3k AU Falcon lol.

You drive yours much? around these parts?

Around hedland mainly on weekends, i use the maloo for longer trips. Bit more comfortable :P

Got another mate here who also owns a bcnr33. Not many good examples of imports around here, its all HSV

Fair Fair

Theres a fairly clean white 32 4 door in town along with a lebspec autosalon style orange 300zx then theres a really dirty MK4 Supra with kit rims bonnet wing all terribly fitted,cracked and dirty lol.

Feeling pretty keen to get crank angle sensor,condenser,retune, respray and bring mine over near the end of the year :P

Was that you driving towards the LIA in Karratha at about 7 minutes past 3 today (Friday)?

Saw it briefly going the other way but my first split second glance was "GTR!" aha. Looks awesome. If it wasnt you would it have been your mate?

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
