I've seen plenty of videos, results look pretty bloody good to me! 

Maybe he just got sick of some of the carry on that goes on in build threads? 

Given how some people behave around here these days, there's much less of an incentive to share all the ups and downs of a build.

So, what is happening with this build?

In the garage on the trickle charger. ?

Drive it every couple of weeks and just getting used to the box. Low speed, low rpm shifting without the clutch without making it go BANG/CRASH. Getting there ?.

Wont be touching it again for a very long time. The level of “over it” is very high. 

With the 1.45 housing it went 517 AWKW, up from 486. Turbine speed remained the same at 122,000 RPM.

The box is quite pleasant to drive to be honest, you just can’t drive it like a synchro box.

No need to justify anything lol. Could sit in the garage for all I care.

Who gives a shit if the box is 5k or 25k and what the intended purpose was.

This is the shit I'm talking about, someone does something, anything, and people almost always go out of their way to tell the owner why it was wrong/wasn't what they said originally/not what their tuner recommended etc and straight away we're into hand bags and anti roll racing shit, again. 
 

Who f**king cares, goals and opinions change, sometimes quite often and very quickly. Deal with it and maybe more people would post more info on their builds.

Are you sad because you sold the AU? :(

Hah, nope. Will be glad to not have to move it to the new house.

Am sick of what this place has become in the last few years.

I thought flat cap drifter f**ks had ruined it, but just as many GTR/Big build wankers with too many opinions and egos doing it just as much damage.

    • Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.
    • Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.
    • That's some good input mate. Nice.
    • So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
