Staying 2.6 with this car Paul or will you stroke it?

Needs to be a 2.6 for this one for the rally regulations. I believe if I put a 2.8 in it I would need to enter it as a z-tune, due to the year it was made it would bump me up into modern so up against R35's, Lambo's etc. Maybe in a few years the z-tune will get bumped back to early modern and would go 2.8 then.

I Like the colour 8)

:yes: Me too. Not quite KY0 but as close as I think you get in the standard 34 colours.

These tend to go well with the silver.... z-tune front bar, and mu secret s-tune copy bonnet

New bumper reo, EFI loom and a couple of other bits I didn't end up needing because the z-tune bar is one piece where the factory is two. I do have a factory bar that came with the roller in case the targa regs force me to go back to standard gear so will come in handy then.

Engine and gearbox ready to be taken off the subframe and dropped off at Race Pace.

Was originally going to suck it and see if the engine was ok, but thought better and ended up getting it all pulled apart. Was the right choice because there was an 8 thou bend in the middle of the crank, a spark plug tip had come off and damaged the bore a little, and the turbo bearing cages were not in the best shape.

New R34 crank, machining, 87mm pistons up from 86.5mm, new bearings and consumables, reco of the turbos and a good check over everything else.

And the finished product including wing. Once the front diffuser goes on it really completes the look but looking pretty tough at this stage.

At this point a lot of my time starts getting wasted staring at it from different angles.

Cheers yeah there have been many late / all nighters, rolling around on creepers, misplaced tools, gritty eyes and grubby hands - and of course lots of swearing!

It's all worth it now its all up and running, engine running sweet, suspension set up right and blasting around the tracks having fun.

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
