Its not a vented catch can. Considering she is track only it will be checked throughout the day, and also before and after each track day. Have got the windows installed. Shall put some pics up when i get home. Makes it look like almost a complete car. Just need some new spark plugs and some new fuel. Plus the plexi glass quarters and sunroof. Shes got a little bit of smoke on start up and while running. Smells a little oily. I think maybe the 33 turbo seals might be rat poo. Hope not i at least want to get one track day out of her before spending any more money on engine lol.

And yes pete you are a sexy mountain of a man ;)

So at the moment that little brass bit is still open. Not sure where that could have gone before as the can is second hand. better to maybe merge the 2 rockers together before catch can and then vent to atmo??

yah pretty close lol. If i could put up with excessive wind noise i could take it out lol, and as long as its not raining. Plexi glass will be ordered next week as i now have a template for the quarters. Thinking of getting them done professionally then if any other SAU members want to grab a set the template will already be there.

So just entered the SAU day for Sydney motorsport park so i now have a true deadline of october 29th to get her ready. So went on a mission at lunch dropped the templates off to Smithfield plastics to get the lexen quarter windows and sunroof. For only $155 needed to cover all 3 its a pretty damn good price fully laser cut to within the mm. So just need to modify the front bar to fit round the cooler and get a filter to vent the catch can and shes ready to go! Bring on the 29th of october lol!

So picked up the lexan today. Looks great ready for install soon. Then she will be ready for her first wash in god knows how long lol. Heres some picks, the stock glass window is on the left as a template :)

Comparing thickness

The weight difference is crazy as u can imagine. Can just think of how much is saved in the sunroof alone without all the motor and everything else :)

So motivated me alot more now that ive entered her in the track day. Brought a quick release steering wheel kit. LOVE IT! Authentic race car now lol. Also ordered some aero mirrors from GKTECK for only $99 bucks new cant beat em should arrive tomorrow or Monday. Then need to organise an extinguisher, trim the front bar and give a good check over. Here's some more pretty pics :)

So got the front bar done today during lunch, really dodgy trim job but ill eventually neaten it when i go to paint it. Makes the car look alot more complete. also fitted aero mirrors you can see. Cheap $100 so good.

Hey mate, read the build from the start, great write up.

With it getting increasingly difficult to keep a fun track car road registered, ive decided to do the same thing. Couldnt decide between a 32 and a s13/180 and probably still wont untill i've got the cash in my hand but your build has definately motivated me to make up my mind and get into it...

Keep the updates comin

Thanks mate, yah i loved having my 33 as a Daily/track car but after getting some water leak issues after the last eastern creek day i had im glad i started to build this one. If I hadn't found this $400 shell the 33 would still probably be a daily/Track and with the 4G ive roughly put into this one i could have had a very quick GtsT. But With the 32 I can take her on the track and flog the crap out of her and not worry if i hit a wall or break something because it wont need fixing straight away :)

The RB20 with the straight through exhaust even with the cannon atm sound salmost as sweet as my 33 does with its new hi flow. Just something about the 2L straight 6 that makes them sound so unique.

So got the Lexan in today. The car looks complete :) Just need the little L brackets made up with some small angle bar for the sunroof and she will be complete. Although on a beautiful sunny day like today a sunroof wont be required :P Heres a pic of the windows in place. Now just time almost for her first wash and ready to hit up eastern creek :) Along with putting on some fancy "TOW" and battery stickers Cause racecar :P

So got the sunroof in today. Note to self next time when getting sunroof made from plexi get 6mm not 3mm. Its to flexible and sags :( But doesnt need to be to waterproof as its parked inside unless being used lol. Just need to seel it up a bit better with rubber or silicon. Hoping i wont need it for track day ill just take it out. Heres a pick. Also got extinguisher put in :) And put some stickers on for the battery triangle and tow points.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
