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

Anyways me being the clean freak that I am, I thought Id give the cooling fan a clean down

Nice and dirty

If you want led's just get some eBay spec white led t10's they work a treat

You can get like 20 for $5

I got some the other day Zac.post-5053-13943455093535_thumb.jpg

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 :)

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
