Yikes! 
Makes me think of my drive shaft.
3blah_019.jpg

But man, the rest of the damage is nuts. How hard was the launch? 


Full tilt launch on street. Broke immediately.

I'm on front nismo LSD so it goes pretty good but the only thing i can figure is the mounts sheared then the motor jumped and then the axle went. Yours looks insane!

Wow how did you do that?!

Very similar circumstances, but mine lasted 5 mins of normal driving after before the clunking started. :D 

Fairly standard for OEM mounts to be shagged, break like that and cause similar damage... It sucks, I've been lucky enough to do it but my turbo hit the strut bar, ripped off the cooler piping and lost power almost instantly causing no real damage.

Nismo are much better but tend to cause issues with the fan hitting the shroud

Older ones but they looked and felt good. Strane to me where they both sheared where they are bonded to metal.

Don't have a video of this launch but do of others. I was just doing the burnout this time doing some testing.

Installed all of it yesterday. Getting those motor mounts in was a total PITA. The fan shroud, however, was easy (didn't even need to remove fan or belt).

Nismo Engine mounts

Nismo Transmission mounts

New Nissan fan shroud

Used axle (New CV boots)

New fan shroud

Cranked the car just to get it running. Ran no problem but I need to fill the front diff fluid level today and then I can drive it.

 

Needed to lower the subframe on each side while jacking engine up to get mounts in - managed to do this with axles in and most components still hooked up but was PITA running pry bar and all by myself while wedging the mounts into place.

 

My advice now is if you are EVER getting at your mounts or removing/installing the engine do the nismo mounts right then!

sounds like fun! just make sure its got the early transfer case with no preload on it. (ie with car up on a hoist you should be able to turn the front prop shaft with no resistance turning the rear shaft.

or you will kill it in rwd.

the preload in the 33 and 34 gtr is from the attest computer, it's not mechanically different to the 32. But I reckon the 32 still wears its plates a little even without the preload factor when running without the fuse, especially when dyno tuning. As long as the front prop shaft is out you'll have no dramas with the transfer case running the car in rwd.

i beg to differ... i have been around the block a few times with these things., but i agree, pulling the shaft is the best choice. fuse out and crack off the bleeder and if it still drags you need to pull the shaft.

Yeah I know you know your stuff, I recall this being discussed on here a few years ago too, and as far as I'm aware you can disable the preload in the 33 via the computer. Happy to be proven wrong, I rebuild the transfer cases with increased preload now anyway which means pulling the shaft on the dyno.

How to put your R33 in to 2wd (from the manual):

Locate the "air bleed" wire behind the drivers kick panel, it's a plug with a single wire either side (usually green socket, white plug).

Disconnect it.

Start car. As key comes back to the ON position, within 10 seconds, depress brake pedal 5 times, 4WD light will start flashing to indicate you are in 2WD mode.

To go back to 4WD mode, turn car off, reconnect plug and off you go.

 

I have hooked mine to a switch in the centre console.

More dyno fun.

Finally moved my cam gears on the dyno. Spent 4 hours there yesterday (on a dynocomm inertial - which will soon be eddy brake). I now see what a V-cam would do for you. Moving my Poncam A's closer together (ie-more overlap) yielded undeniable tq gains with no appreciable drop in top end power (my 3" exhaust could be holding me back). I think it liked 8 total degrees of CRANK overlap (2 notches off from '0' on each cam) the best (Advanced intake 4, Retarded exhaust 4), but we did run add another 2 deg (crank) to the intake to bring it to 6 deg intake advance and 4 deg exhaust advance and this is where it stayed (for now). Super choppy idle now, but damn this car pulls like CRAZY now. makes 3 more psi boost at 4k rpms. When I compared 20 psi runs with cams set at 0 the tq goes to the stratosphere. Look at the differences from 4500 rpms to 7k! At 22 psi high number is now 653 whp and 515 wtq but boost control was shakey on these runs (oscillating from 22 down to 18).

It is making 300 WHP at 4k rpms on 20 psi...on 93 octane pumpgas! This is my 8374 EFR .92 IWG on a stock-bore 79mm BC stroker FYI.

Those cam gear changes certainly woke it up!

 

 

I'm really thinking the stroker geometry and slow top end piston speed must REALLY like more overlap than I was giving it with these small Poncam A's and straight up cam timing. I just drove it again...damn car is an ANIMAL! I can not wait to try another 1/4 mile run in it! I can only imagine what a 3.2 with V-cam would be like!!!

    • 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.
