bit of news on the car the past 3 weeks its up in damos shed (DJRIFT) having wiring fixed and the manual gearbox rewired we had our ups and downs with the manifold after finding the mild steel manifold i brought pushed the dump pipe across to much so the turbo wouldn't fix and ended up staying with the stainless manifold after dr damo come to the conclusion that it was not the manifold that was at fault but the gasket as i was using a multilayer type that everyone seems to speak so highly of but the layer are held together with small rivets and that was holding the manifold out just to make it leak so i went and got a factory nissan one as directed by damo and the factory one are alot thicker spent the rest of the time pulling the manifold on and off because of stripping the thread on of the head but ended up getting it on and nice and tight and started the car was amazed NO MANIFOLD LEAK :) wiring for the gearbox was done horn and high beams fixed so i can pass pits with it then had a look at the steering as ever since i got it had very heavy steering like there was no power steering after looking it to it more found that from factory the club L laurels have a sporty steering on/off switch in the cab but never seemed to do anything when i flicked it and damo was about to power the unit up that controlled the steering and was like magic steering felt amazing just how it should he then wired it in to the ignition and works perfect now... Soo now its almost there just need new turbo and a tune get rid of that shit ebay one and get the car regoed was think of getting a quick and cheaper tune by fuletech just for now till ive saved up for the new turbo and dyno tune im happy to say its 70% done!!! :)

ohh ok ive never seen a laurel made one what im really looking for is a strut brace that not only goes from tower to tower but braces off the fire wall as well ive seen some before but no idea on where to get them from anyone seen them before

ohhh wow thats a good page thanks for that i have a forward facing plenum so wont have to worry about clearing the throttle cable if s13 fits just hoping i can find one that braces to the firewall that fits..

new turbo brought :) kinugawa T67 thanks to discotune :) quickly ripped the other turbo off and test fit the 67 and the front housing is so big its hitting on the rocket cover so a mates going to notch the cover through the week and give it another go next week end i also started the car with out the airflow meter plugged in and car continued to run fine so must be running off the ems map sensor so i wont worry about putting the afm back in and fingers crossed they just never worried about taking it out??

and still waiting on a gate spring but once the turbos on its off to get tuned and rego!!!!!

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
