Getting close to the final tune. Boost was dropping from 20>18 PSI. Unfortunately it seems that for whatever reason there is a pressure drop in the current Apexi Hybrid intercooler.

Tuned with 21PSI dropping to 18 for the time being. Theres definitely more in it so will be getting a new intercooler in a month or so and sending it back January for a retune. (thinking Plamaman ATM)

Least she's back for Christmas

Verdict on the Racepace Exhaust. They cost big $ but was definitely worth it. All I can hear is induction noise now and everything rattling inside the car when putting it around normally. Just enough RB26 burble on idle and on the highway and it comes alive when you open it up. Very happy with it.

You going to get the OEM Intercooler?

Also interested to see how much the Racepace Exhaust is...

PM.

Awesome work man glad to see another one back on the road again. Seems like a few of the 32 GTR build threads have had great results lately.

Still blows me out how much yours reminds me of mine lol.

remember seeing this in racepace about a month ago discussing brake clearance with you...looking sick now, will look even better with n1 skirts etc thrown back on

also keen to hear exhaust

Thanks guys. It's a great feeling getting into it and driving it again :)

The damaged motor usually goes at the start of these threads but I'll take a bit of time out today to show what happened to it all those years ago.

Chris was nice enough to crack it open and give me a show and tell session.

Firstly it appears the motor was fitted with a metal head gasket in Japan but no machining was done. Okay then.

Every bore showed signs of scouring.

Every piston showed signs of detonation

Piston number 6 has a section missing from the top corner of this photo. Chris has told me he would give me this piston to keep on my study desk.

Motor has been sold to RPM so it's going to get a new lease of life RPM style. Godspeed.

So a shitty job of fitting the head gasket...

Where would the scouring come from? Not enough oil in the engine? Bearings are worn? An abrasive engine cleaner?

Would the detonation come from running too lean? insignificant Octane in the fuel? Bad tuning?

Piston 6 has seen better days and this engine would have been driven hard...

Racepace will bring it alive again :)

Shitty job of doing the rebuild. Probably a back yard job.

Bearings were OK I think. Scouring from piston ring damage. Detonation from running too lean. Might have had another ECU in there from Japan? Impossible to tell now.

Yeah, that would explain it.

Ah shit! Why did I say bearings, I meant Piston Rings LOL! Thanks!

Is Racepace going to use it in one of their cars?

I really dig this.

How did you find the standard airbox fitting with the cooler pipes? I got Trust piping kit and it seems to not fit as well as the HKS stuff.

No idea. Probably change over motor when someone needs a rebuild done quickly I guess.

The HKS piping appears to fit well around the airbox, mate. RPM did all the labour so I don't know if they had to modify how the standard airbox is mounted or anything. I'll take a look next time I'm working on it.

Spent Melbourne Cup Day working on a couple of interior items. Some dress up items (photos coming shortly) and Child safety restraints etc (for eventual engineering to get the car on the road).

Got a mate to take a few photos for me too. (thanks Nismad)

Santa has (in the form of my Mrs) has some OEM and aftermarket interior goodies coming for me too so looking forward to that :)

Sitting tight on getting anything major done on the car in the next few months. Deciding how much of the body I want to get worked on first before sending it off for engineering and road reg.

Nice!

Good to see it up and running again!

Looking tough mate!! Are you keeping the exhaust stainless finish?? I painted mine black for a stealth look :)

I'm keen to see if the cooler is your restriction!! I think I might have the same problem, Chris has had everything checked and it won't make more power, stuck on 360rwkw atm we were hoping for more. He mentioned possibility is the Trust cooler is the restriction or a few other things which he reckons is not worth doing for the extra 20kw or so. I already smashed a gearbox with this power so he may be right lol

No plans on doing anything to the exhaust at this stage :)

Interesting. I'm keen to see if I can get more power (closer to 330rwkw) with a new intercooler too. Mind you 360kw is nothing to complain about!

thanks mate. Thought I'd get some high quality shots of it before it changes a bit in the next 6 months or so :)

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
