Small update.......

A friend / club member of mine had diagnosed an issue with the clutch cooling fan..........the clutch fan was moving within the cooling fan not from side to side but forwards and backwards.............needless to say it had to get fixed.

So I took that step today.

After much debate and swearing in three different languages I managed to remove the cooling / clutch fan without removing the radiator cooling shroud (yes it's all possible)

I didn't go unsaved though

Can't wait to see what it looks like. But should that little much more brighter :)

Been busy paint stripping the rear bumper

post-5053-13943460057865_thumb.jpg anyone know how to remove the paint from the bottom bit? It's rough like the front bumper lip so very difficult to remove cleanly.

Also thought I'd tackled the shit spot welding on the back RHS rear quarter panel

All smoothed out with my trusty powerfile

Next will be a little sanding and then I will paint the rear panel in crystal white to make it nice and clean ;)

Are you going to do anything with the spot welds you grinder back? Wouldn't be much straight left in the welds, if there's any weld left. I can't tell exactly where it is on the car. Thought about some stainless rivets, or rewelding it completely?

nah mate, the way theses spot welds have been applied is pretty full on and there is enough of it left on the car to keep everything nice and strong.

Should I feel the need for more bracing I would spot weld the entire car but it's not necessary...........for now

Spent all day at work reading this start to finish. Amazing. So awesome to see people like you restoring cars and spending so much money for nothing but the best! Love it! One day i'll own a '94 32 GTR V Spec II but for now, my Evo 8 MR will do :P

Keep up the good work!

Will get some LEDs for the reverse lights as well attachicon.gifImageUploadedBySAU Community1394346759.691514.jpg they are E4's by the looks of it

ive just done all the LED in my car Ants. PM me if you need the exact globe....

thank you very much mate. It's comments like this ^ that keep me going.

There are lots of good bits indeed.

But just a little correction it's not a V-spec it's just a late 94 model GTR :)

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
