So initial word back from GCG is that the core needs to be replaced in the HKS, housing seems to be ok

We'll get a phone call sometime this week to go pick it up

In the mean time, we went a bit crazy on a recent order with HiOctane for the 34......

So we have got:

Haltech ECU

Tomei Type-B Pon Cams

Tomei Cam Gears

Walbro in-tank fuel pump

850cc injectors and FPR

Upgrades gears for the oil pump

All this will go in after the track day in September, I want to get used to the new clutch first before putting more power in the car

We'll also be putting in a Gates timing belt and a new water pump while we are in there.

Also planing to get a Plazmaman plenum, throttle body and Billet fuel rail, paint the rocker covers and clean up the bay a bit

BRB while I start on my Mi Goreng diet lol

I'm not too fussed on the wait for the extra power but my mates and mechanic have been pushing me to do the work now and not wait until after track day.

I could do it all now and it might be ready by track day (all depends on my tuner) but I will probably miss the 32 GTR 25th anniversary day cruise/lunch next month which I really want to take the 34 to

Having no boost for a month is a killer lol, it's an addiction. The longest I've gone without the car previously has been 2 weeks so this is a real test for me, it's like giving up smoking lol

I am interested in seeing how much power I will get out of her once everything is in and the HKS finally pushed its limits (only running at 50% at the moment)

Looks like a fun combination haha. My car should be ready in September too, maybe we should organise a cruise somewhere...

Nice, what are you getting done?

I'll be up for a cruise up until track day late September, need to rack up the k's on the new clutch, come October she'll most likely be off the road again for the work.

Same as yours but instead of cams I'm chucking on an SS2 turbo. Should be pretty quick once tuned. Hoping for 300 at the wheels

You only need the one cam gear man... And also why the upgrade for the oil pump? Mine has held up so far with the abuse...

Might look into head studs and cam springs if you want to run bigger boost, these can be done on the car without lifting the head :yes:

Organise your entry for the track day in September hahaha

I might do. It'll be pretty rubbish as it's on standard shocks though haha. Also I have no licence or helmet or gear or fire extinguisher. I might aim for the next one hahaha

I have spare helmet and extinguisher you can borrow

Licence is easy to get $50

This is about as tempting as a kebab after a big night on the piss. I'll see how the build and tune goes with Paul. Might just unplug the boost controller and run it as rich as a Saudi prince if it's too quick for the suspension

If I'm going to upgrade 1 might as well do both.

I'd rather play it safe with the oil pump, minimize the chance of failure in the future

Might be an idea. What's the limit on boost with stock studs and springs?

Stock studs held up OK when i was running 24psi but eventually i would have done a headgasket... I would say 20psi on stock springs and studs to be safe as long as you have a good tuner... Others might have different opinions?

Most engines start having issues once they have been messed with (in regards to bearings and bottom ends and stuff) best leave it the way it came from Nissan and thrash... I thought mine may have proven that to ya by now :P

Sounds good seeing as my MAP sensor will only let me run 21psi haha. I hope I land in a pit of money soon so I can come on the track day

if you use the intake cam gear you are going to lose your VCT as its a single unit and cannot be mated to the adjustable cam because well thats sorta what VCT is!.

go take it back and get them $$ back!

if not you could always sell it to someone else and they can flip it around and use as an exh gear.

The new clutch feels good, it will take a a little while to get used to it. Different friction point and it's a little heavier than my old one

Time to bed it in and get ready for track day next month :D

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
