Intake side all bolted up and throttle stops adjusted.. what a mission!

Also installed some extended studs up the back and replaced a dodgy wheel bearing I discovered..

I'll also be replacing my Tein's with Nismo struts and springs I picked up.. Should give a nice compliant ride and help with grip..

And mounted my exhaust ready for a dump pipe to be made up..

I also hooked up my fuel system and completed all the fitment of my fuel lines... did a pressure test up to 100psi and no leaks :D super happy. Not long to go now, just need tyres, cooler piping, a dump pipe and some sensors and we'll be golden.

Happy to say she fired up 2nd hit of the starter :) Sounds nice and tight. Car is off to get the dump pipe made up then its straight to work and onto the dyno for a light tune.

Im now running a Haltech R34 GTT Pro Plugin ECU which is due to be released to the public in the coming months. :) Along with Haltech's new CAN Wideband O2 box which will be released at the same time. Very cool stuff.

This was turn-key off an RB26 base map set at 3350cc capacity, flex fuel compensation enabled and injector flow rate at 2200cc. Not bad at all :D

It was dumping from a 90 degree 4" elbow i just clamped to the back of the turbo :D Car is having a dump fabbed on Tuesday.

Dave, ill be sharing the tuning duties with Scott. I'll most likely attempt most of it with his guidance, then let Scott work his magic in the high load parts until I've got some more experience under my belt. :)

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff
