So 1 yeah has been and there been some massive progress...

I washed it a few times, repainted the lower lip, made some proper bov delete plates, swapped back to the 720cc injectors and mounted my surge tank properly.

And thats it....

Pretty weak i know but i was playing with other toys.

Reinstalling the 4 channel amp and possibly going to make an airbox this weekend, wont hold my breath though.

Will post a pic or two when i get home.

Started to reinstall the amp two weekends ago, but forgot where i put the power and earth leads so i need to buy new ones. Also have ordered new battery terminals as the old ones have too much stuff coming off them now and look rubbish. Will do a tidy up of the power and earth wiring around the battery while im at it.

Next on the list will be fix a few small interior and exterior trim bits and what not that have annoyed me for too long. Oh and rego, that should be a priority.

Got rego finally and did a sweet dose in celebration!!!

Needs a wheel alignment and a wheel balance. Oh and time spent on the tune!!

Nothing much on the update front for this, did a service and replaced the turbo oil feed line on friday night as it was leaking. Has been nice just driving again.

Interior bits and pieces are still a focus, but may need to get the rear diff rebuilt as it has developed a bit too much backlash and clunks a bit.

Tune still hasnt been done. Need a 4bar map sensor and injectors before going for more power, and probably valve springs soon after that.

Yet another update (mainly so i can look back later and see what i did and when).

Spent a little bit of time on a dyno last week and only managed to compile a list of stuff that needs fixing before i go back on again. On the list is;

1. The poor old tial 38mm wastegate is just too small to control boost properly and needs to be joined by another one.

2. Need to suss out map sensor issues (jumps between 2-3 load points all the time even at constant throttle/load). Have put a filter in the line in the hope that fixes it but have not checked as of yet.

3. Knock sensors are in a land of their own (picking up massive amounts of knock all the time)

4. Wideband needs recalibrating

 

Didnt manage to get any full power runs in as it hits boost cut as soon as the turbo spools. The most we saw was 280awkw @4900rpm before it cut out.

Will get onto fixing stuff after world time attack weekend and report back.

    • Go to SP mufflers and get the muffler of size you want and make a nice mid muffler. It's about that simple! I have 2x 3.5 Magnaflow straight through Mufflers and while it's pretty loud with the Varex open, it's quiet enough with the Varex closed. You can also buy off the shelf Magnaflow straight through mufflers as well. You also have a turbo to quiet the car down too. Don't overthink it. Buy my extra Magnaflow muffler sitting on a shelf doing nothing (buy it new, ignore this part)
    • Centre-offset muffler under the floor, same as stock. Just....3.5". The change from straight pipe there to centre-offset will mean that you need to remake some of the pipe (add a bend or two).
    • Hey guys. So my R34 GTT has a custom 3.5” exhaust (done by previous owner) with a high flowing cat, and then just a Varex cannon muffler on the back. The car does drone alot and is really loud even on highway driving just cruising, as you can imagine due to the Varex muffler basically being a straight through with the valve open. As much as i love a loud RB, it can be a bit much with no other muffling in line and just driving casually. I wanted to lower the volume output on the exhaust a bit, as well as remove the drone (probably a way to do both at once), and was going to do it all myself as I am a fabricator and have done exhaust work in the past, so the fab work isnt my issue, im just not sure on the right product or type of product to use to get the job done, and i doubt an exhaust shop would be wanting to help me as they wont be making any money from helping me, unless they supplied the product? Anyway any help or guidance in best way to approach this would be awesome   Thanks in advance
    • Meh, whilst the Honda is a "really" good car and has potential if you want to drop coin on, it was uninspiring for me to look at, but, it did serve its purpose and is now in the boys hands, his happy, his girl is happy, as she wasn't to keen on the noisy old Patrol, and most importantly, the Minister for War and Finances is extremely happy that her "little baby boy" (6'2 nugget who is currently training to be a copper, which will make 3 coppers in the immediate "circle of trust") has a well sorted reliable car that doesn't guzzle diesel Me, I'm more than happy with the NC MX5 that I replaced it with, it's a fun little car that I like looking at, like driving, and yes..... I do like the fact that the maintenance and modifications that I have done/will do are plentiful and relatively cheap, well........ while staying naturally aspirated slow that is, and that's all I really need for a fun little daily, I can rev the 5hit out of it rowing through the gears and never really break the speed limit  In saying that wicked word, "modifications", I've already ordered something for some noise and an additional "3 ish" horse powers, or whatever it gives, in the form of a header, and, a new set of "cheapo" BC coilovers that are already sitting in the shed waiting to get put in, I had the same BC's in my old NB and found they were fine for the street, hwy, and the occasional track days I did in it, they have 6kg front and 4kg rear springs which is about 10% stiffer than the stock springs which I found worked well for their price  I've also already been in touch with MX5 Mania in Dural, so once the header is on it will get a ECUTek RaceROM tune there (I cannot rev match for 5hit, and I loved the RaceROM rev match and FFS in my old 86 "RIP") In other, maintenance news, I put some new sparkler plugs in it, and have a new set of DBA Street series pads to put in over the next day or so, I'm running the DBA street series in the SS and Honda and really like them, they work great and are not dusty at all I've also booked in a few days leave over this weekend to give me 4 days weekend do some paint correction and give the leather seats some conditioning and interior some Bissell and steam cleaning OCD lovin', the carpet and interior looks clean, but from my experience with the Bissell IRT carpet, and the steam cleaner IRT trim, looks can be deceiving I've also found that finding a detachable hard top is proving problematic, the main reason why I didn't like the NC initially was the power retractable hard top that I seen them with gave the roof line a weird look, the detachable roof though looks good, and is a same shape as a NA/NB hard top, similar, but unfortunately not the same as it has different fixture point on the front, so fitting a easy to get NA/NB detachable hard top is no bueno New Old cars are fun, cleaning, hunting and playing around brings much joy How are your beasties going? Do you still have the Skyline with the LS???, or Barra??? that you were playing with
