I read not to long ago that the guy actually died.

He wasn't driving at the time, he actually had a friend driving because he was intoxicated.

The friend lost control and hit a tree passenger side on.

Yes, he did, he lived on the margin.

There are many life situations, so i abandoned my blog here for some extent period. To begin with, i was on the verge of selling my car, but, thank God it didn't happen...and i continue. Having looked in my pocket i got that only ECU i can afford for that sum of money is APEXi Power Fc.

As friend of mine said "the best ECU is, you local tuner can handle." I bought ECU and commander, for tune i need dataloggit also, so i have a question - should i buy it to tune whenever i need or just lend it for tune and do furthermore adjustments by commander ?

Also i aggregate lots of small things like gaskets,belts, shims,sensors like EGT, oil temp, etc. My woman will get my arse burned and kick me out of home - because i spent alotta money :whistling:

Quality control !

Welcome back mate, good to see you back here!

The Power FC is certainly a very capable ECU still. Your tuner should have no issues with this but I would leave all the tuning to him and not fiddle with anything afterwards without getting the go ahead from him, that is if he is a competent tuner.

One last thing, more pics!

Thanks Josh !

Sure, all tune will be conducted by tuner. i'm wondering - should i make adjustments afterwards, depending on weather conditions ?

Pics are compulsory !)))

Finally, I am ready to strip car to the bones (including windshields), get rid of every rust spot and paint whole car, i think about Lexus white pearl - 077, does anybody have experience of painting Bcnr33 in that colour ?

Upd : Colour is called "Starfire Pearl"

Hey mate, awesome pics of a beautiful city. I am a high school history teacher and teach my senior students about the Romanov Dynasty and the Russian Revolution. If you have more pictures or videos please post these up, along with your awesome "Russian GTR" haha. All the best and post pics and more information about your build whenever you can.

All the best.

Finally I've reached the point, disassembling, followed repainting and resurrection of the body.

The main pain are door sills, as it's impossible to find door sills in decent condition in Russia atm, I decided to cut all rustjunk and wield them, changing rusted areas for new metal, creating new ones piece by piece, certainly making them much stronger than they were before.The same way I'll do to the hood ridges.

Also i've managed to find almost new original nismo front lip and nismo r-tune sidesсirts.

Also I've managed to procure 3 sets wheel nuts made from titan, the famous Mill Spec Grade 5 titan is BT14, this is BT20 material. produced by one of russian military plants, I do believe its strongest you can by for money, i have 2 spare sets, if anybody want them, pm me, price due to our currency rate is decent for this.

Finally i'm getting car from paintshop.

All rust was expelled, door sills was rebuilded with 3,6 mm thick metal.

About colour, i found amaizing guy, god of mixing, base was toyota 077 colour, he managed to 100% satisfy me.

077 is rather warm, much yellow pigment makes it look like ivory, we managed to get cold pearl colour without any blink of yellow and blue shade, green and crimson purple grain, sunk deep into base by special method of coating , big amount of black pigment made car look almost polished aluminium at some angle of view.

For now the only thing to do is to install bodykit.

I decided to install kinugawa 3076 modifyed turbo.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
