The restrictor is not going into this motor.
This GTR is getting rebuilt stock.
Just so she runs and looks good.


The restrictor is part of the "I'm going to build a power house when I am not poor anymore." engine project.
lol

But if I do build a solid engine it's going to comprise of this:
NISMO oil pump.
TOMEI metal gasket kit.
33 crank.
ARP main studs and head studs.
ACL big end kit.
Tomei sump baffle.
Poncam Series 2.
Adjustable cam gears
Full HKS turbo kit + manifold etc.


Basically a standard 450 whp build.
I wont build it though.
I can fix stuff, but I can't do all the gapping, etc that specialised engine builders can.
Scared of busting my hard earned cash. Rather let croydon racing do the hard work. lol

Very true.

But is it worth running the GTR on the street for normal driving with the restrictor and extended sump?
Do I need an upgraded pump if I do put the restrictor in?

Will it screw up the engine if it is not a built motor?

I can't afford a new motor upfront, and already had half the stuff anyway.

It's going to be stock as.

What do you suggest I do to add on it?
Not looking for power, just want a nice reliable driver.
No hard launches etc on the stock motor.


I WILL build a monster eventually, RB30 block, etc.

I was thinking Genuine parts rebuild like I am doing.
But should I put the restrictor in with the stock pump and stock sump?

So - today I started really getting into it, got the aircon out, etc.

So anyway.
I was told there was a little oil in the radiator fluid, but there wasn't too much.


HAHAHA.
LOLNO.

There was a LITTLE BIT of WATER in the OIL in the RADIATOR.

Still draining.
:-|
Slimy brown sludge. Yeeeaaaaw!


BHG for sure.

I figure seeing as I have no job I'll pull the hard yeards and see it through during the nights due to looking for jobs and calling around during the day.

So here we go...

Front bar off, the number plate bracket bolt was rusted in, drilled it out re-tapped it, and got back to the hard stuff.

Stock? Hmm..
Ah well, free adjustable cam gears. XD

No baffles, nothing. I am disappointed. :-(

No collision damage. :-D

WHAT IS THIS?

Uh, was attached to the horn loom.
Temp sensor of some kind?

Looks slimy.

Old and wrinkly.
lol.

So - now I'm sure it is a blown head gasket, or someone has filled the radiator with baby rear end stuff... >.>

Bought these ages ago after making them on the JDM site thingo.
I have three spares just in case. lol
Ordered these AGES ago too.

More insight into this GTR.


485534_575613869150325_2120060311_n.jpg
Took the aircon condenser out, slowly removing the lines, working my way to the pump.
Put the front member back in with horns etc.

WHAT IS THIS? I think it's a temp sensor? am I right?

So yeah, more things I can't afford to do.
If anyone knows anyone hiring in the north shore, short term, part time etc, looking for minimum of 500 a week.
Please guys, If I get a job I owe whoever gets me one a case of beer of their choice.

:worship:


I have my whitecard, I'm a tyre fitter, can easily adapt to any kind of manual work, did playground construction, and some wood bolster barbed wire fencing.

Short term or long term, just need a job now.
I haven't gotten around to getting my forklift licence yet, but I know how to drive one. lol
If you can help, big thanks ahead of it man. :-)


Back the the GTR.
It had THREE alarm systems in it.

lolwhut
All were hooked up too. haha.
Anyway, all of them are out, making a switch board where the ash tray was and moulding it in, RWD toggle switch, Electric fans toggle switch, Heater bar switch, Ignition switch (cuts the main line on the Start on the column so the switch needs to be on to start the car, which is hooked to a clutch mechanism so the clutch must be in to start also, seeing as I can't trust alarms since the last one failed, I know it all seems stupid to do this, but it'll make sense later down the track.) So yeah....
Four switches I want for no good reason basically. lol.
And I moved the lighter socket to the centre console to charge phones, etc.
I don't want cables everywhere...
:whistling:

OK, GOOD NEWS.
I got a job in the city.

Bad news - I'm fitting exotic tyres and run flats.

Good news - I get 25 bux an hour.

Bad news - I work four and a half days a week.

Good news - I get time to work on the GTR.

Bad news - still on about the same wage due to day pay as last job.

:-\

Got a job though.
Still kickin'.
:-D

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
