dooooooo eeeeettttt Artzie

I always warm the work piece beforehand and then heat a little bit between layers as well. Helps make the wrinkle really nice and uniform.

Yeah I was leaving it out in the sun, spraying and then lightly heating after each coat then going over it with the heat gun for ages after the final coat. Just to bad I didn't know this when I first tried the paint lol

  • 2 weeks later...

Any suggestions on where to start. I want to tidy up and Bling out the engine bay on my GTR.

Like taking my car to shows as well as the track.

Want something that looks great when the bonnet is up....

Ideas??

Ideas??

- Wire tuck engine bay

- All plastic fluid reservoirs replaced with metal

- Braided everything

- Remake intercooler / intake pipes

- Less rubber bits

none of the above...lol

looks pretty neat already, just needs a good clean and general tidy up, maybe a few hoses and wires re-routed...

might get one of those oil catch/window washer combos

and a full length front cooling panel that covers your headlights and all....

but the rest i would just tidy up...clean the smog marks off the paint , clean the hoses, polish the covers etc...general cleaning basically.

no need to waste money on tacky braided hoses, leave that to the muscle car crowd..save the money for performance mods....

He said bling. I listed bling hahaha

eg> not a 26 but this is bling

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
