Sounds like a nice list of parts

What turbo/s you going to run?

Come along on the 26th anyway doesn't matter what car we will only be doing the speed limit anyway

for the moment its going to stay stock turbos and ECU, dont have the cash to do the turbos and an ECU, i will be putting a set of HKS turbos in once i get some money and doing an ECU.

i dont have a car at all till i get the GTR back, she is daily driven :D if all goes weill i can pick her up on the 25th and go on the 26th tho, block is appart and being done as we speak, i totaly destroyed the 3rd and 5th bearing :whistling:

... block is appart and being done as we speak, i totaly destroyed the 3rd and 5th bearing :whistling:

Now me and the mad sceitist have to pull apart the block...sorry couldn't help it.

Its kind of a like a expensive safety feature with these cars...you'll get oil starvation and destroy the engine long before you loose grip...i still would have liked to see a larger sump on this build list for added protetion, but just make sure you overfill it by a 1L.

Also, make sure your builder cleans and checks everything throughly...you don't want to be pulling it apart again in 3 months cause of the bearing shavings floatin around in your block have destroyed the rings or something else....

if all goes weill i can pick her up on the 25th and go on the 26th tho,

Damn, thats pretty quick... cruise on 26th if you can make it...i don't think mine will tuned by then, but i might see if i can jump in with someone.

Sounds like a good plan

Motor should be well and truly run in after a cruise, just don't do to many freeway miles at first as the freeway and fresh bores are mortal enemies

LMFAO thats gold.

I dont have the cash for the sump and NItto pump could only do 1 or the other, im going to be using a stock oil pump with a set of reimax gears in her, the ballfes should deal with the oil starvation issue at hand with the restrictor in the head, its going to be my daily till i pay it off (1-2) yrs and after that ill do the sump and big oil pump and turn her into a monster.

From all the shops i have spoken to they all seem to think i will be fine with the OEM pump and gears as long as im not reving out to 10k rpm or anything crazy like that constantly. Ill be doing the 1L overfill also, btw what oil do you guys find to be the best for the GTR?

Hey guys, for those of you that dont know.... My clutch is now toast :P Didnt think it would last long at the power level considering it was way outside its happy zone!

Should have been double clutching not granny shifting :D

ANYWAY, that puts my car out of contention for the 26th as Jim Berry will be working his magic on my clutch around then.....

Ill still probably jump in with someone tho, CHOOKIE???? :woot:

yeah fair enough - should be all good

redline is the best, but you can only buy that in drums. Royal Purple or Motul 300V fully synthetic are the other great alternatives. 10-40w should be good for a daily driver.

lol...i was sort of wondering how long your clutch would last. Don't get me wrong - it still sucks that you toasted it. JIM's fully monty clutch is magic - zero slip.

My clutch & new flywheel ahould be leaving JIM's today - its a little different as its its a dual carbon clutch - superlight and responsive, but you actually need to slip it to put enough heat into so it actually grabs whens cold. It was a bit of a prick to get up steep driveways etc when the car was cold - JIM's almost doulbled the clamping force, so hoperfully it will be much better.

Yeah it was going to have a limited life which we knew from the start, makes me wonder if it has been slipping during the tune etc? Will find out i guess!

Mine is a sort of custom setup too, he said it'll be better than the full monty :D he was saying he does a bit of work for Paul.... Didnt realise he was meaning yours lol

The clamping force on mine will double over the Excedy button which should be pretty impressive! He said the heavy flywheel was the way to go for me, why did you go light?

my car's penciled in at JEZ's for a tune next friday, and cold start saturday...so at this stage i will be making the cruise if all my parts arrive and theres no hipcups etc My biggest concern atm is my injectors (only 600cc)...expecting to crack 400awkw (more hoping lol, just to say i cracked 400awkw - expecting more around 380 on finaly tune, i'm not going to be disappointed either way) so i should be pretty much at the limit for these injectors on paper.

so if everything works out, someone can jump in with me.

Dont you need a run in tune first? And 600cc? Really? :/

400 is a nice number ;) I will head there once i clear some debt, but mine will be RWKW for the skids! haha

that will be an impressive clutch lol - I actually didn't know i had carbon clutch till we pulled the engine out - was a nice suprice and explained the slippage. The hole clutch package (minus fly) only weighs like 3kg - much lighter then a normal twin. I just told JIM to machine me a billet fly wheel to match the clutch..so i don't know what i ended up with TBH.

I got the as part of a package deal from the US last year when i was going to do a -9 setup - brand new nismo MAF's, new injectos, midori modified intake pipe and nismo front pipe for $1200US - was pretty happy...although i sold the front pipes, not using the twin turbo pipe, going for a map tune (no mafs) and the injectors are probarly to small.

Whats this place. Ello peeps

ahh outsider :domokun: :domokun: :domokun: :domokun:

Yeah after a long long long conversation yesterday i learnt HEAPS about clutches and flywheels etc...... Lighter not always better, well rarely better in a lot of cars lol!

Dont run 600's man, you will only regret it and have to change it at a later date, do it right the first time :)

LOL, outsiders are OK, them wasteland boys bring the lulz :D

jim likes to talk clutch lol

...i'll make a decsion tonght. might see if i can pick some Id1000/2000 in sydney tomorrow

yeah only playin around..don't get to play in the wasteland that much due to NSFW...i'm basically on my work connection all the time atm :verymad:

You'll probably kill the diff or driveshafts next LOL

I'll have a spare seat but might be a tight squeeze in the back of the car, though driving chooks does sound like a better plan

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
