Also just to note, It looks like production sports cars, are going to allow R32,33 and 34s run in there class. So My Co-driver in the excel cup class and I are going to run the boat in the CUE one hr event next year.

So I'm pretty happy. I can run the car in QR sports and sedans, Improved production (with a turbo choker) and now or soon to be Production sports cars.

It's looking like the skyline is a good choice.

Righto... continuing the build of the ECU and I'm up to the point where the stock ECU case is now gutted and the connector block desoldered from the original circuit board - I hacked, cut and mangled it pretty bad to get it off the connector, but the end result was good - all the connector pins are healthy and intact.

The new MS3 module will fit, but I do need to create some standoff brackets so that it is well secured and pro-like. I could just pack the module with silicone and/or leave it free floating, but I'd like to do this properly and I think a few plastic plates made with the Dremel won't take too long to whip up.

Both brackets made and MS3 Pro module is mounted.

Next step is to think about how to mount USB/Serial connectors for software control, and also think about a secondary connector for things that can't be connected via the stock Nissan connector and harness. I think a trip to Jaycar is on the cards.

Ooh sounds like a project that I'd start and never finish - ending up in a car that doesn't work!

I know enough about electronics to get into trouble...

I admire your skillzzzzz

Which is part of the reason why we've taken to a spare stock ECU and gutted it instead of the original ECU (which only cost under a $100 to source a 2nd hand auto module with the correct harness connectors).

If at any stage we can't get the new MS3 Pro module to work we can fairly easily swap back the stock ECU and with a few minor changes to the intake sensors, be back to working again. The overall goal will be to have MS3 manage custom tune mapped at the dyno with a electronic boost controller making crazy HP. If we have to swap the stock ECU back, it will just mean the engine will run without extra boost and run pretty much like stock. It should be a good solution for getting all the features of a $2000+ ECU system but hopefully come in under $1000 !!

Oil cooler in

Replaced knacked water inlet pipe on the manifold.

New S/S brake lines

New Discs and MU pads.

New Camber and caster adjustment arms front

Lock out and Camber arms rear

$10 worth on paint on the wheels :yes:

Cage should be here from AGI next week and so should the KAAZ 2 way.

BTW aero bonnet cilps suck balls to install!

Off the blocks,

Quick drive up the street, all seems good, wife hates it. So it must be cool ;)

Ride hight is a little low, need to raise it about 20-30mm, I'll have to wait till the coil overs settle. Sold a bit of gear off the car, so I should come in around the 10k mark. Seems like I'm under tired in the rear, with the 225s, I'm having a look for some 9" wheels so I can fit some 255s or 265s. Got to love motor sport, you can spent 100k plus on a motor, but go wider than 9" on a rim and you can't race :rolleyes:

Cheers,

Really hanging to get out on the track.

I was aiming for the next round of qr sports and sedans. Which is on the 3&4th of nov. I'll be pushing it to make it. Don't really think taking a untested car racing is the best idea. Might have to do a couple of track days and

There is always next year. 1st world problems eh!

Nup,

I've got to add another axle to the car trailer as well. So there's no hurry at the moment. 1300kg car on a single axle trailer is pushing it.

I'm going to miss the next race meeting.

So I'm going to do testing and get it ready for next year.

Any way I've ran out of parts, so your more than welcome to come over and sit in the paddling pool and drink beer!

Did some more work on the custom ECU today. Added a USB-B connector (for software uploads and tuning) and a 12V power plug (for bench testing out of the car).

Once the wires had all been soldered in the right spots, I switched her on and uploaded the latest firmware to the board.

Everything went perfect and sweet - next step is to begin the wire-up to the stock connector.

Well, it's been a while,

I got smashed with work, still pays the bills.

Cars all most complete, off to Ken @ Accurate Suspension, on Monday for the Alinement.

Little update.

The best tool in my shed, under a grand, does the job welds locker diffs, and parts I need for the car. I've never taken a welding course, just a little shed time. I'm no gun but, I've built my own trailer harness point exhaust parts etc. I figure if I hit with a big hammer she's all good in the hood.

I've got stuck into the guages and kill switch this weekend.

New 2 way diff

Bumped into a bloke off loading his race wheels and tires, 295 35 R17, should grip!!

I bitter that I missed out on running last week, so next date is going to be on the 14th Dec @ QR for a sprint meet, fingers crossed.

Just got to add a extra axle to my trailer, don't like the idea of a 1300kg car on a single axle.

Cheers

Grants popping over this weekend, we are hopeful the ms3 is going to fire.

Also found out the front of the car has taken a hit in the past,slightly bent driver side . So I'm having the front camber arm machined. To allow for a little more camber on the driver side. To straighten up the alinement.

Can't wait to get it on the track.

Looking forward to a little dickyspeed master action ;-) I'm going to be pretty slow, I've not had a drive for about 6 months.

Mad soldering skills!

I'm not drinking tonight, so I won't be hung over. Think this will be the first time we've worked on a car, with me been sober!

Don't know wether that is a good thing or a bad thing, haha.

Can't wait to start logging data again, I'm really missing tuning studio!

Well the MS3, went into full fail boat mode!

So we are going to leave it for a xmas build, while we have a rethink. I.E. read the bloody RB25 circuit diagram. So screw nissan

and there ECCS relays!

Should be all good. What we are trying to do, is use the standard loom and make it plug and play with out cutting into the stock

loom to much, when I say we, I really mean Grant! I'll take to a supercar with a angle grinder.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
