I just got mine back... Still haven't used it yet. :P

I've got 15 cylinders to check.

After Friday I'll have a whole month of Freedom to play Broom Brooms. :D

I have borrowed it from a friend but i have used it a few times and its pretty good. Did you need to use one?

I was thinking I might have a check at some stage if it isnt to much trouble?

what have you done to your r31 wagons. Did you fit those extractors? What fuel you use in it; should run 15deg if running 91RON 18deg if running 95 and 20deg if running 98. I had a ka24 tb on mine too and port matched it bolt on and same tps. I have a soft spot for the dirty 30's

Extractors I have not received yet.

Timing still unchecked.

Fuel is 91.

But fuel pump is now R33 GTS-t.

Changes I have made so far...

K&N Pod - Jeremy's old one

Spark plugs - 2nd hand.

Shocks - New

Front springs - 2nd hand

Front Swaybar - 2nd hand

Wheels + Tyres - 2nd hand

Wiper Blades - 2nd hand

Fuel pump - 2nd hand

Budget Beast. :D

My U13 Blueby's were KA24de's hmmmm... More air you reckon? Apparently (from my researchings :P) a certain Falcon TB is commonly used too.

Yeah falcon one used but you need to rewire tps. But thats only an issue if its an issue for you. If you do change be sure to port match tb to upper intake manifold. Revs out cleaner and doesn't choke up top. My old r31..

Really at this stage I just want to make it roadworthy, smooth running, reliable and safe so I can transfer rego into my name.

Extractors are a combo of upgrade and fixing an exhaust leak.

It seems that changing the SkyWagon's Fuel Pump did NOT fix the intermittent starting issues...

When you turn the key the Pump doesn't always Prime. Mostly yes but sometimes no. (old pump/new pump, no difference)

Thinking a relay but research :P tells me there is no fuel pump relay. Fuse is fine but I changed it anyway. Hmmmm...

Also, I just checked the timing, it was already on 200 so I put it back to 150 as it's running on 91.

(there is some evidence of a non standard previous life). :yes:

Earthing issue somewhere?

Did a few more things under the bonnet.... Waiting on the final touches and will post pics. Looks SOOO much better,

I pulled my rocker cover breather, and the fun part is i cant push them back in have to wait till i get my adopters.

Bought some -10 adopter and the guy asked me for which engine was it for, Rb25 series 1 or series 2

I didnt knew that the series 2 had a little bit bigger hole 16mm which i found out from him.

I do have a S1 but it has a different rocker cover in it, a polished one and i have no idea if its a S1 or S2 :(

I pulled mine off when I was polishing my rocker covers and it split right down one side....

I got it all sorted out.its actually so easy, just did it now. compared it with my old one and also found out that the polished rocker cover is a S2 because the breathers wont fit in my old rocker cover and the old one is loose on the polished one :)

Also did you split the one that was on the oil cap side, if thats the one then i know how it happened, you might have pushed the wrong side in the rocker cover. because that was what i was doing. Both end are different, one side is flat and the other side is not. it has a little bump and that one goes in the rubber hose.

At the same time i learnt something new tonight

yep that's what happened, didn't know it happened until I noticed a tiny bit of oil on my polished cover :(

well today I cleaned the AFM, intercooler pipes, rocker covers, replaced and flushed coolant, then reset the ECU, my car has never started so easy and idled so clean....

mums not home so yet to see how it drives :(

booked the 32 into an exhaust shop to get all the intake/dump/cooler piping fabbed up.

Will be the first time in two years that its rolled out of the garage.

only fluids and tune to go! ^_^

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
