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?
943378_575613745817004_690747412_n.jpg
Uh, was attached to the horn loom.
Temp sensor of some kind?

Looks slimy.
923471_575613865816992_351652446_n.jpg
Old and wrinkly.
lol.

946700_575613772483668_804358965_n.jpg
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

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
