Just been thinking of using multiple throttle GTR plenum. However Im not sure if the runners for a R34 and 33 are the same. I could do away with cutting the runners by machining a adapter plate using RB26 N 25 gaskets as templates. However using an adapter would mean that i have to cut and re weld the water outleet so it doesnt crush the VCT solenoid. Using 34 runners would be good because i still have the same injector sitting angle. The downside is that i cant find any 34 lower runners. So it brings the question, are the 33 and 34 runners the same especially on the way injectors sit and fuel rail mounts. From looking at a few pics they dont look the same but when you look at the gaskets, they have the same part number.

Are the manifold o rings also 14mm

Do the 33 injectors sit the same way as 34 (o -rings and sitting angle) but atleast i know i can top put on top feed injectors on the 33 intake manifold given that i change the rail aswell. I just dont want to downgrade from an intake plenum which was better.

I dropped by Jaycar and saw a cheap set of 6000K HID bulbs, thought it would be good to restore the xenon lights so i got to task.Had to take my front bumper off to access the wires that were cut during compliance to stop the ballasts from supply energy to the light plug.

It was just a matter of connecting wires back together

But then after hours of trying to figure out what was wrong with the LHS light i swapped the ballasts and the light still worked indicating the supply cable within the light is Kaput. Not sure if i really want to open the inside of the light as its the one i use. Might just get a connector plug it onto the ballast and feed it through the side of the housing to the light

Yeh man, it's easy. Take off the 5 spring clips on the housing, and undo the two little screws on the park-light side. Remove all the plastic bits that you can, tuck all the wiring inside the housing, and pre-heat oven to 100 degrees, then headlight in for 8 minutes or so. Keep an eye on it in the oven and nothing will go wrong. Then use a screw driver to pry the lens away from the housing. If you need to pull too hard then put it back in the oven for another couple of minutes. Just do it slowly and you'll be sweet.

To put it back together, just reverse the process :thumbsup:

Whilst im waiting for the tuner to get back, I got a hi flow turbo for a steal price, as im not willing to stay at 180kw while i source out options for the turbo ill use. So the hi flow will be the super sub while I find a good contender to use. Have gone through so many compressor maps I can probably tell you the name of the turbo without even looking :P.

Im tempted to bolt up the hi flow but without tune it will probably run really bad. As for the injectors if i manage to loan a Nistune consult cable ill be able to change the injector size and latency so i can still drive it (My Daily) to the tuners otherwise ill just resort to getting it towed to the tuner.

meant as in drive it for a few weeks till the tuner is back, however I wasnt sure about driving it offboost on the day i take the car.Its certainly something i will experiment doing while i have the stocker but with the hills in my area. It will be quite interesting.

Thats good so you just gotta transfer your stuff from the 33.Except for a few things that wont work with Neos hopefully wont be much.

Very nice man good to see you a doing a thread on the build... Thumbs up!!

I see you learnt the hard way about spending a little extra on stand alone ecu's huh? Good work keep it up

I donno if I will be building mine like yours but chasing around the same figure.If it pops I'll get another stockie and repeat and transfer. If I had known from the start I would have got a standalone only a few extra dollars.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
