Aaaaaand WE'RE BACK!   Admittedly, got the car back around a month ago but haven't had time to post anything about it.   Been pretty busy with the new home.........for the GT

Dunno why I didn't get this done first time around. Been old and scratched since I got it. Fiddly and lot of prep, covering everything but worth it. Satin Black. Drivers side, section done. Passenger

Wasn't an off the shelf colour. "BD03 Candy Red 2KA solid" is what i have written on the invoice. They made the colour and canned them for me. The cam covers are small enough that you can get away with using cans.

That does look nice. Was it just a rattle can red?

Have you read the last page at all?

Yeah, and nowhere does it say what type of application it was, just that he did it himself . Could have used an air compressor and a gun so I was curious. Thanks for your useful reply though.

Nice one man!

It's gonna be epic!

When is Chris going to tune it?

The current front pipe might be a bit restrictive for the -9's so have opted for a full Racepace 3.5" Exhaust. Might take 3 weeks to be ready with final tune. He may let me take it with an "interim" tune while the exhaust is being made so I can get some more work done on it. (get rest of cage out, replace interior trim etc)

I see!

Yeah, sound like a plan... Drive it on the "interim" exhaust to get the extra work done.

What power you aiming for again?

Aiming to max out the -9's on 98RON. Chris has let me know it should do around 330rwkw @20 PSI.

Very nice mate. Looks so very clean and super sexy with those engine covers painted.

There is just something about a freshly built engine sitting in place of the engine bay........just like pawn.

Cant wait to see more progress.

Well what can I say. Massive milestone yesterday. Instead of just going in to checkout the car, Chris told me I could pick it up on an "interim" tune while the new RPM Exhaust is fabricated. RPM really don't stuff around when they start work on something.

IMG_0355_zps81eff44f.jpg
Raised up & wheel alignment done to RPM specs. Chris tested it for me and it is actually a bit over 100mm now. Sweet.

After not driving it for 8 years, i've forgotten how small or rather snug these cars are.

R34 GTR Seats in, Cage Pulled Out.

IMG_0345_zps058d475d.jpg

Brakes - there is around 2cm measured gap between calliper and the 17" TE37's

IMG_0343_zps9670de22.jpg

Note this tune is just a temporary tune done so I can drive it around to get some work done on the interior etc.

Boost is set to 15PSI with timing pulled, standard front pipe only with old cat back exhaust.

*This is what RPM call an "Interim Tune"

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
