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.

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.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
