So few people have told me to put it up so here it is!

got the car a few months back with the usual, shitty 3" system, blitz turn flow, manual boost bleeder and POD.

drove it for a few months and was reasonably happy but....meh, could be better, i wanted to build something with a decent amount of low end and the boost to come on as soon as possible with room to improve in the future.

So the ordering of parts began!

trial fitted manifold

post-93368-0-79048500-1347253862_thumb.jpg

found the mani interfered with the a/c line, could be bothered sending the manifold back to QLD to be fixed, so i made up a new a/c line instead

post-93368-0-83849400-1347254105_thumb.jpg

fitted turbo and manifold, new studs and gaskets (got a bit excited seeing it mounted up), after this i made up the oil and water lines for the turbo with a gig kit(push lock fittings are shit)

post-93368-0-00499600-1347254438_thumb.jpg

fitted up plazmaman plenum, rerouted vacuum and coolant lines, extended and shortened some wiring

sold this

cat and rest of the system and rear muffler Hooker aero chamber

post-93368-0-12426100-1347255407_thumb.jpg

fitted up new clutch from npc, hopefully it lasts

post-93368-0-43597800-1347255674_thumb.jpg

bolted to the standard flywheel

post-93368-0-34452500-1347256554_thumb.jpg

also had scotty make up part of the intercooler piping and the turbo intake pipe

post-93368-0-39617500-1347256676_thumb.jpg

fitted the battery to the boot

post-93368-0-43936600-1347256770_thumb.jpg

intalled a link G4 plug in

post-93368-0-18524100-1347256940_thumb.jpg

fitted link MAP sensor(top centre of pic) and MAC solenoid(on top of abs module) to control boost via the link instead of a separate boost controller

once this was all done it was off to see trent at chequered tuning where everything went well and nothing i had assembled fell off or caught fire

Nice Owen!

What have you done about your wheels rubbing against the wiring under the guard?

Found out on the weekend mine was rubbing against the plastic loom too and now has a hole in it.

Had to raise the car up a bit, could relocate it to the engine bay but don't know if i cbf :/

My looms rubbed through the conduit and just started on the wires :(

How do you find the 1.5 way with daily driving? Grabby and clunky at slow speeds?

Mines not a daily only a toy and just thinking of shimming the LSD farking tight again as most good LSD's ive seen are just as harsh when driving slowly.

Hey Owen, I am running the same diff and it's nice and quiet after a bit of driving... It binds in carparks but generally it's quiet... I initially thought it was shit as it was loud etc but then found out my coilovers were to blame and the diff is sweet ;)

Yeah I don't mind it, just sick of people asking about it.

Lol.

It will free up. They are very bitey when new.

Takes a little bit to get used to the lockup and slight push into the corner.

So its been ages since i've updated this, probably cos i've done nothing and am always working.

Anyway, 2nd was shagged in the gearbox so i pulled it out to rebuild it, ordered everything from Nissan japan, through jesse streeter and it cost about half of what it would have from a local nissan dealer.

For everyone who has wanted to rebuild there box but has been too scared to because of all the posts saying you need special tools blah, blah, blah, I say just do it.

I used a workshop press a bearing puller kit and a hammer and made some (really basic) parts for the puller.

anyway here are some pics (everyone loves pics)

tools used

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
