Doh - sortof, what kind of lift? I'd say they are probably a better match for the turbo and the rpm you sound like you will be spinning to... 272s would be what I'd be going for if I were running a Super94 RB30 :) I forget, are you going to push a bit of boost through it?

I am not sure you will be missing anything positive by having the 272s, aside from an angrier idle maybe! :D

Not sure on the lift will get back to you on that, I had 268/272 jun cams with 9.75 lift but took them out, will be pushing 30psi through it after its been run in and I have a gearbox to handle it :)

Ok so the motor is finally getting shipped to me, anyone thinking of getting lewis engines to build you a motor all I will say here is pay a little more and go rips. Pm me for details. Anyway it should be here within a week and I just received my aftermarket Industries 5ltr surge tank with dual walbro 460 pumps and nitto gasket kit. The surge tank is apparently one of the first batch made and has taken a couple months of waiting and waiting. I was hoping this build would have been a lot quicker but I guess these things take time.

A few people keep asking how the car is coming along so i thought i might do a build thread on it. I bought the 32 late 2012 as a half finished project, it originaly was a 1989 gts4 but had a forged rb26 thrown in it and made rwd only. When i first got the car it needed a few things done as it was sitting around for a couple of years and the whole inside of the fuel tank had rusted and needed a good clean/flush out, new fuel pumps. I had it tuned at Next up performance in brissy and it made 460rwhp on 18pound. That sort of power was pretty fun and wasnt too laggy with a gt3582.

This arrangment lasted for nearly a year then i spun a bearing when i was taking my missus for her first drive so i had to scare her, the oil pump didnt fail but it either didnt supply enough oil or the custom sump which was made for it wasnt designed to well. From there ive had the motor taken out and decided to go a 3ltr. I spoke to rips and Lewis engines in regards to a 3ltr and Rob from rips said it would be a 2-3 month wait for a motor and after speaking to Darren i decided to go with his torque monster bottom end and his ultimate 26 head. Its still yet to be finished but with 280 deg cams, 12mm lift and the rest in there she should make some decent power.

My turbo choice was made from watching 34GeeTeeTee's results and listening to what Lithium had to say about the forced performance range of turbo's and wanting to try somthing different that hasnt been done, well not that i have seen on a 26/30. I was looking at the HTA3794 but they had the super 94 on sale which is "like a 3794 hit the gym" as fp say on there website. I also bought a 60mm turbosmart powergate as i previously had a 48mm progate and couldnt fault it. Last for the hotside i bought another 6Boost manifold to suit the 26/30 with t4 divided flange and 60mm gate And will be going full 4" exhaust when its put back together.

From there ive bought some other bits a pieces, I bought a N1 bar with the lip from nissan for just over $700 delivered and I was chasing a set of 33 gtr wheels and i was quoted from Nissan $1700 plus gst each (lol) so I got a second hand set of wheels and had them painted and machined up at magit wheels on the gold coast, they turned out unreal and wrapped them in achilles 123's. Then i purchased some r34 gtt calipers and had them painted red and fitted with ebc pads, dba slotted rotors and HEL braided brake lines. See how these work otherwise some AP's or brembo's will be on the list.

I just recieved this plenum from rips and the quality of their work is unreal, so nice just to look at. Few other things i have is HEL braided abs delete kit and clutch line, Koyo 53mm type r radiator to keep it cool. Ive ordered a 5ltr surge tank from Aftermarket Industries running two walbro 460 pumps and a walbro 255 pickup but they said thats still a couple of weeks away. There will always be more but thats all i can think of for now.

Lol i am a bit slow to come to the party... But AWESOME :woot:

Cheers guys, heres some more parts I got sitting around waiting and I just ordered a 4" cat and 4.5" muffler, was going to have 4" straight through but thought I should try and be a little bit responsible. 60mm gate should sound nuts though

No date booked yet but all goes well it should be within the next couple of weeks. The engine has pretty much just been bolted in so there's still the wiring, oil lines and a bit of stuffing around to do but hopefully there's no big delays. The guys at the exhaust shop were laughing when I said I wanted a 4" exhaust with a 60mm wastegate fitted all underneath and behind the turbo, there's not much room but I think they will fit it in there.

Wow awesome, good progress! Looking good, it's still no wee baby by the looks. Good luck with the rest of the fabrication, hope they can sort something out :)

Exciting times!

Gavin Wood will be tuning it, im getting rid of the L Jetro and going D Jetro, I know its old school but it will still do what I want, also I just got called back to work so I wont be staying home for the next few weeks i'll be away so she will have to wait for a bit longer

Still, getting pretty close! Possibility it may be nearly running around the new year, you reckon? It's going to be a hell of a grumpy road car combo :D

Its at all performance garage getting fab work done, heres some pics off his fb page. Change of plan on the tune as well going to be tuned at efi and going all out with a vipec or haltech not sure which yet but will speak to the tuner and pick one.

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
