Are you sure the rotors are on the right way? Reason i asked is because i have the same rotors and mine are the other way, i double checked it seems like the vains on the pmu scr pro rotors follow the direction of the slids...

i though the vain is suppose to go the rear? it goes from the center of the rotor then out or its the other way?

Air should be coming from center of rotor to outer rotor

Edited by ichi-go

that dosnt make sence to my brain, surly it should be sweeping outwards not draggin inwards?

I would tend to agree by looking at the design. Disc designers are a lot smarter than me however...

I guess it must act as a vacuum by creating a low pressure zone outside the vanes which draws the hot air out from the centre of the disc outwards. Makes sense in that it evacuates the hot air and dust away from the centre of the disc.

the vanes would work exactly how a turbo works

sucks in cool air from the centre, and propels it using centripetal acceleration (flings it outwards)

having them curved just helps draw the air through the disc

Vanes are the ones on the inside that pump air. They should sweep backwards.

Grooves are on the outside and remove pad dust etc. It doesnt matter which way they go.

You orientate the rotor for the vanes, not the grooves.

As an aside the Project Mu rotors dont have proper vanes anyway so this stuff doesnt matter very much.

Flat out getting this car finished guys, most fluids are in and 50% of interior left to put back in

Photos will come as soon as I can

NEED SOME HELP PLEASE GUYS.......CAN ANYONE HELP WITH FACTORY NISSAN PLACEMENT/MEASUREMENTS OF ALL THE BADGES/EMBLEMS???

NEED TO FIGURE IT OUT THIS WEEK!!!

Cheers

Insane work, well done... Going to be so bad driving on the road for the first time, I bet you will be able to hear every single bit of sand and dirt hitting the undercarriage :(

Thanks Simon, maybe...but there will be so many other epic noises!

Well I think we can safely say thread is delivering on title as promised...

How many tooth brushes have you gone through to get it to this state???? :) How on earth did you get the plugs, wiring, hose clamps so clean... man!

Love the dedication well done.

Cheers Paul. Mate I am well and truly over cleaning I can tell you that.

This car should not be driven. It should be stored in a garage that is cleaner than a laboratory

Ha Bryce, I don't have that level of will power!! I NEED to drive it.

Coming along nicely love checking in and seeing the progress every week. Seriously though buy another one to drive and wrap this one up to neat to ruin.

Thanks mate. With everything I have learnt I think I will need to buy another one to restore and not drive, one day....

robbie will you ever sell it haha?

Don't think so but you never know right

great thread.

Cheers Paul

Looks too good to take out on the street now :yes: Top work!

Thanks mate. Knees will buckle haha

Jus finished reading this thread from page 1. Superb job so far, cant wait to see this through.

Nice. It's nearly there, just need to get the time to get photos up!

Nice build Robbie, can't wait to see the before and after picture. Yay! Can't really wait to see the final output. Keep up the good work and Goodluck! Will follow this thread. :no:

Cheers! Shouldn't be long now mate. I really wish I had the foresight to take more photos of the car before ripping into it...

Power output figure will be interesting

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
