Hey all, thought i'd chuck this up for anyone who is interested in a 25 build chasing 500 plus rwkw. Car used to have stock motor putting out 296rwkw with the old faithful 3076r and not much else. Now with my current licence issues (ie lack of) i will be building the motor fiiinally with parts i got thru NYTSKY an Raw Brokerage several years ago. So the list so far consists of;

CP pistons 20 thou over 9 to 1 comp

Eagle H Beam rods with ARP 2000 bolts

ARP head and main studs

Nitto oil pump

Full fuel system (sard surge tank with two AEM pumps inside and pierburg lift pump)

Custom low mount t3 manifold with Turbosmart 45mm Hyper gate

Custom plenum on stock runners with stock throttle body

Now i am just waiting on my custom turbo the boys at JEM have ordered which is something like a Garrett GT3794r with t3 rear. Still working out cam ideas an also injectors which may be ID2000's. Haltech Platinum Pro will be going in along with maybe a Profec B ebc. Hopefully with all this on e-flex it should pump out over 500rwkw fingers crossed. Will whack some photos on once stuff gets serious, we all know what the parts look like :) Also, all my old parts will be for sale ;) Will chuck them in the for sale section soon enough...

Cheers!

Can't wait till this beast is done :D

Edited by MR 33

Well plan has changed a little bit. Ended up selling my old turbo set up including manifold and gate, so I will now be going with a high mount set up. Should be easier to work on, not too mention look better :yes:

Motor miiight be back tomorrow, if not week next from machining. Will put up some more photos as the build progresses

Build is moving along nicely! Have decided on going solid lifter conversion. Cams will be 260in/270ex. Fuel system is nearly complete, went with Xspurt 2000cc injectors and twin inlet top feed rail. Just waiting on motor then everything should flow along nicely :)

Boot install just about done

Little update, cams have been decided on along with solid lifter conversion. Have decided to drop the VCT in order to get the cams we want. Have gone with Tomei Procams 270 inlet and exhaust with 10.25mm lift. Should sound grumpy! :yes: Got Supertech solid lifter kit with oversize valves and all the good bits that come with it as well. Tomei cam gears on the front. All that arrived during the week and has been sent away to machine shop. Changed from my custom plenum (which is for sale) to a Greddy style one, which we painted in wrinkle black. Along with my black fuel rail, reg, lines and fittings it should look very sexy I think. Getting ever closer to hearing this thing fire up!

Plenum and rail lookin nice

Cam gears. Don't know why I didn't take photos of Supertech kit, soo many goodies lol

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
