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.

Ah righto, thanks mate, looks the goods

Front brakes are on. Red calipers should match nicely with the road TE37's.

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.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Nice figure for street.

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"

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
