It had to happen!

OK. So the rears are going in today. Set the heights as close as I can and continue cleaning the engine bay. Yay!

For sale: Nismo S tunes for 33 GTR.

Great looking R-tune's you have there. I'll be interested to hear how streetable they are compared to the S-tunes. I want that adjustability of the Rtunes, without added harshness. Ie... no rougher to drive than the s-tunes.

Ian, They're alot firmer than the S tunes for sure. I have had them in and did maybe 100 kms but 36 hours before the Nats I had to pull them back out :domokun: . I don't really drive the car that often on the street so I spose I can put up with it a little. The S tunes are great on the street but feel a little lack luster on the track. The R tune spring rates are 12 F and 10 R IIRC, so yeah, firm.

Just wait till this years nats, i'll chuck you the keys and see if you like them or not.

Annddd the rears are in :D

I'd like that but won't be making it to the Nats this year. At the moment I have a choice... go to the nats or finish my next engine. Only if work picks up a lot over the next 2 months can I consider doing both.

A few goodies turned up today.

First my crank

Pistons arrive next week sometime. Sump will be dropped off to Racepace in Melbourne to get modified to their specs. 9.5 Litre oil changes will get exxy!

is that diff a 1.5way LSD?

It's a.... Different diff.

They don't have clutch packs in them, they have gears.

Gav and R32TT (Matty) have them in their cars and love them to bits. They do the same sort of driving as what we do so that was good enough.

Time will tell.

looks nice paul.

That extra oil capacity is good insurance, only 2x5ltr bottles :)

Cheers karnt. Yeah, running round on semis and a stock sump isn't the smartest idea. Us NSW guys and our SBS (sump baffle syndrome) as Ash likes to call it :D

You have the N1 pump syndrome too lol

u better watch for those piggaz when u get it back on the road

Pics fresh in from the land of the rising sun.

A few pics of the head.

The 'marks' on the face of the head is just sticky gunk from it being packed up. A little bit of petrol and it will be sweet.

New 87 mm Tomei pistons with Ti top ring and Valve relief so I can run Vcam in the future if i want to be a dickhead.

HKS Step 2 valve springs.

JUN Ti retainers

Some pretty Tomei stickers :D

Parts missing are the exhaust manifolds which are matched to the head and I sent a manifold to turbine housing gasket to japan to be matched up.

Cams are missing

I also had a 'balance tube' port matched up.

Parts will come in dribs and drabs to not get anally bashed by customs!!!

Block and rods were taken down to the engine builder on Friday. When the pistons arrive the crank and the pistons will be taken down. Head will be in the country on the 12th of May.

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
