Hi Guys,

For a while i have been thinking about starting a thread, updating what i do to my GTR. As most of the performance stuff has already been done it will be pretty much all cosmetics.

So first things first. A bit of History.

Bought the car from a local guy here in Canberra.

3 Months later my engine went Bang cause: Dirty fuel caused massive detonation. Cracking Piston #2, did a bloody good job of it (it was actually split in half). And the Piston rings had melted to the pistons. Obviously it had a very lard life.....Here is was the compression test:

1/15

2/0

3/25

4/125

5/90

6/50

9 Months later i had it back with my full forged bottom end and completely new fuel system. Here is what the engine looked like directly from the rebuild for the run in.

post-92069-0-28689000-1392951880_thumb.jpg

When the car was being rebuilt i had a look at the turbos (looked almost brand new) and took the gamble to leave the stock ceramic turbos in as i love my response. heinsight is a wonderful thing. 500KM into the run in phase i spat the exhaust wheel from 1 of my turbos into my cat. Sigh. Ultimate tunes where kind enough not to charge me for the labour to install new turbos. Thanks again guys.

Decided to go with -7's to try to keep my response levels to where i like them whilst having a bit more power.

Kept going through the run in phase. On the way to work i lost an AFM. Back in it went. Again ultimate tunes didn't charge me at all for the AFM! Can't recommend them enough. Anyway after that it has pretty much been smooth sailing.

From there about 3 months after the run in and everything was smooth i decided to add a bit more. This time it went in for the following:

New catch can

Tomei Type B cams and adjustable cam gears

Full Painting of the head (Bayside Blue)

Z32 AFM.

Also put stock BOVs in as my ones where ATMOS and i hated them.

Since i had asked to replace the cams Adrian decided to pull the head off to make sure that everything was A OK with the engine. Since that was off i decided to pain the Plenumm as well. Here is how it came back to me:

From there i decided to start to try out a few things. I managed to track down a set of Original stickers for my wheels (Took me 4 months of searching, 5 minutes for someone on SAU). Very happy i found these...

Next came a bit of fiddling with the engine bay. Painted both the radiator overflow and the washer bottle:

I also managed to track down a fuse box cover for $5 so i bought another one and pained that black as well.

Next i decided on a strut brace. I spent probably 2 months thinking about what strut brace. Was going to go a MINES strut brace but decided that i could not justify the extra $1000 over the HKS Kansai. So i went the Kansai, and at the same time i replaced my POD filter element with a blue one and bought a Nismo vision cover:

post-92069-0-24175500-1392953037_thumb.jpg

Now we are pretty much up to date. But i still have so much more to do. Plans for the not too distant future:

HKS hard pipe kit

Koyorad 53mm radiator

Full braiding lines for the fuel system, catch can etc..

Re do interior with new dash, Nismo interior and other little bits and pieces

and as i go restore parts as i see fit.

I have literally just ordered another $200 worth to go in ASAP. So stay tuned....

If you have any feedback/Ideas input is welcome!

First update was what i did last night...

Pulled off my Number plate lights and reverse lights and gave them a clean:

post-92069-0-37726900-1392964930_thumb.jpg

Noticed that both of my reverse lights now have cracks in them... Anyone know where i can get new replcements?

Since i had the kit out i did my rear tail lights as well!

post-92069-0-20471700-1392965021_thumb.jpg

Exhaust a little bit of a polish, noted that one of the mounting brackets have come loose so ill pull it off in the next few weeks and re weld it.

post-92069-0-54554400-1392965082_thumb.jpg

And finally gave my number plate a bit of a scrub to top off the look. All these parts will be coming off next week again anyway so ill give them another clean then.

Loving the look. I think that is all the CF i will put in the interior as i have other plans. More details to come in the next few weeks.

Thanks guys, Stuff is still in the mail. Was hoping for it to arrive on Friday but only some of it did. Trying to chase up some OEM parts that have broken. Looking for reverse lights (prefer brand new) and the rear speaker covers (Harder to track down than a clean hooker!).

How did you manage to find speaker covers? They are definitely hard to find?

I have a set but they are dented.

Sourced directly from Nissan. Still waiting on a final price. Fingers crossed. I have been searching for like 6 months.

Could you please post a part number, as I would like to get a pair too.

CHeers :)

2817401U11

2817501U11

^^ For both. Still waiting on a reply to confirm those are the right ones as there was 2 different types made. Will confirm in the next two days.

Comment so that I can keep track of this build. Nice work mate, keep it up

Thanks Dan, Can't wait to see a build thread for your new purchase :woot:

P.S. Nice rims.

They look very similar to the LMGT4s

Good to see that you have found a good workshop that you are happy with. Half the problem with owning a performance car is taking it to a workshop which won't take you for a ride

Good job

Yeah i was very lucky these were on the car when i got it. quite hard to track down now. They are basically the same as LMGT4's but slightly thicker and more aggressive.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
