hey guys,been busy in the last months and havent had any time or new things to update about haha.but now i do

Changes & problems.

-The fuel pump gave up on me while on the fwy (cost me $400 that day)had to change to walbro 255 not as good as the 040 i reckon

-Car had a problem it kept shutting off while i was turning or reversing while turning.But cleaned icv and the problem is gone now.

Updates

-I finally got FMIC installed today & its great car goes hard in 2gear(11psi).The manual boost tee needs replacing tho.

-got rims :D Rota grids are on(Blue) 18x9.5 +20 offset.Sticks out a little but its alright for now since gaurds are not rolled yet.if you don't like them don't comment.

-Since i upgraded some things,the way the car handled needed some attention now i got both front and rear strut brace (hicas will go on on friday) car handles alot better than before.Future parts im ordering soon to complete the list are AntiRoll Bar(front/back), camber & coil overs and more just to make the car better.

Future mods

i'll probably start saving up for power fc,splitfire coil packs and upgrade to a EBC

Looks wise

-I like the way it look atm,but maybe i'll change to a carbon drfit style spoiler in the future.

here are some pictures.

Feel free to comment and suggest bits.

Looks awesome landyy

I got very similar spec rims but mine are +22

They did require a roll of the guards though.

Check to make sure it's not hitting anything under the guards, mine was hitting a wiring loom which wasn't tucked up enough.

Love the rims :)

Time for a update.

Intercooler was installed & car is currently running 11 psi.

Since last time,car has now Tein edfc coilovers & i changed to rota fighters(specs 18x9.5 +20 offset) i like these rims as they make the car look really mint..

Car now has front and rear strut brace & hicas removed.

i decided to sticker bomb my fuel cap and added a few stickers.(not over kill or random ones).

*Car now has Led tail lights,i like the look and i'll keep them.All lights have been replaced n got Hid's.

here is the link for the Hid's,very easy to install and i would recommend them for anyone chasing some.

THE SEARCH FOR HP-Silver bullet slow start.

It's been a while since I've updated this..but the search for power never stopped.Car is almost done & I'm hoping she can push out close or pass 300kw.The body looks the same,only changes are a new set of rims as I got over running copy rims (rotas).Enkei rpf1 18x9.5 + 15 all round wrapped in star fire RSR(excellent all round tyres tbh & i would recommand them to anyone).I've gone with a low mount set up with external gate & the turbo is the latest hyper gear with a op6 rear housing.Top mount here is a 100% yellow sticker so kinda playing safe & not wanting to get done by the donut eaters.This is just the mods I've got & I'll post actual vid n dyno results once car is done.

-Greddy Ebc

-Hyper gear turbo

-Utra gate

-Steam pipe mani

-Os giken single plate clutch

-660cc jecs

-Z32

-255(might upgrade)

-Greddy fpr

-Split fire coils

3" to a hks dragger exhaust(bigasf)

& a nistune.Thinking of getting rid of it & getting a PFC though.Few things I'll do such as brake upgrade,2way dif & anti roll bars along the way

I've learnt to do all work by myself with the help of my brother so yeah it takes time,but we'll get there..

Worst of the worst has happened to me. 2/12 studs snapped, managed to get one out using drill & easy out.The second was pure bad luck, the stud snapped & once drilled, inserted the easy out, the easy out snapped into the snapped stud.My brother went to drill it out and since the easy out is a hardened he pushed too hard & drilled into the head(5mm-10mm).Worst nightmare. car is sitting in the garage untouched since Saturday. I believe he has drilled into the oil barrel. My question is amI f**ked & will need a new head,will that affect my tune/car in the future or would the new studs block off the hole?.The drill bit was 3.5mm I believe. Smelled of oil n thats all I could see when we took out the drill bit. Any input will be helpful especially someone who has done this before. I've done heaps on my car from coilivers to clutch with my brother & everything between, by far this is the biggest f*k up haha.I'm depressed now lol.thanks in advance.

That sucks man. Easy outs are very hit and miss and need to be used with care as you now know.

For future reference there are mobile thread repair businesses that are experienced and have all of the right tools to do the job easily (they typically don't use easy outs)

Depending on what has actually been drilled it is posible to repair it. Either by welding or tapping larger for a plug.

Best thing would be to remove the head be assess from there.

Good news the bolt is off. My brother had the same setup as me with one of the hybrid manifolds, the manifold cracked the night before the tune(tiny run)still took the car in for a tune and tuner couldn't get tuned as it spiked so much at 5,000rpm(38mm ultra gate).Soluton was get a bigger wastegate and with w as wastgate pipe.So I'll be going top mount instead. Hybrid is a f**k around and the seller kept arguing when we messaged him about the manifold. DON'T EVER BUY A HYRBID MANIFOLD. THE WELDS ARE SHYT AS.

OH WELL I LEARNED.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
