How'd he get a s15 on p's? N/a?

I thought you had 2 beast cars ;)

You can drive the Aus spec one, the 200SX on your P's in NSW but it has to be stock

His however is the Autech version, i'd love an NA S15 too, they are a bunch of fun and sound amazing!

I've been having intermittent misfires and the typical coughing and spluttering over the last few months, it's been okay as i only drive the car once a week if that right now so it hasn't really bothered me, however my fuel pump has started making a mean groan which sounded absolutely horrible and before i got stranded somewhere with a dead fuel pump i thought now would be a good time to replace it

I came home from work this evening to a care package from Kudos, i purchased the Walbro GSS-341 (255lph) which came as a kit with everything required to install it into the stock position which is great if your car (like mine) still has the factory pump

With the street as my workshop and the sun as my light source i decided to start before it got too dark

Firstly i removed my old pump, be patient with this, be sure not to put too much pressure on the fuel level floater / sender unit

Here is a comparison of the new walbro compared to the stock pump

To fit the pump in with the stock fuel pump basket you'll need to bend the base off it, the little hook looking part flat, and then cut it off

Now attach the fuel pump to the tube which has the barb on it with the supplied hose clamps and new fuel hose

Attach the filter sock to the base of the pump and lock it on with the small barbed pin/circle clip

From here i used a Stainless steel cable tie to hold the pump to the basket to stop it moving around, people have used hose clamps however i didn't have a big enough hose clamp handy and the stainless cable tie works fine and looks great :)

After crimping the connections to the supplied plug i plugged the pump in, and reinstalled it back into the fuel tank and turned my car on to make sure it was all working.

Car is purring nicely now on idle, it's also feeling much more lively and less hesitant not to mention the misfire seems to have disappeared! All in all a cheap and good upgrade i would suggest to anyone who is unsure of the history of their fuel pump

Cheers, Jordy

Christmas is gone and done, hope you all enjoyed yourself!

The car has been given some love. Over the break i replaced Oil w/ liquimoly oil flush and filter, Spark plugs and Coil packs. I also gave the AFM a clean while it was out

I then gave my new foam lance a go! what a cool idea!

Then i took it to family lunch and somehow survived from the city out to dural without getting pulled over, i did however see about 10 highway patrol cars.. that was fun. :P

Next up, clutch and engine swap i think! - Inter cooler kit is in the mail plane from japan so i've heard, hoping for it to arrive this week! - time to start looking for an EBC and ECU!

Came home to an absolutely huge box from Japan today which contained my inter cooler kit!

I Purchased the GReddy Type LS kit

Super excited about that, all i need now is a clutch and we can drop the motor in!

I love this build :wub:

keep it up and keep us updated!

top notch bro.

my 32 has begun to seem a little sluggish and backfires a lot more than it used to.

nothing seems to indicate fuel pump but I guess its worth a check :)

Not much has been happening with the car, just gathering parts for my turbo swap, I've found an ECU and I've also been introduced to a friend of a friend who owns a fab shop who will be making me an Exhaust and a the cold side intake piping to go with the forward facing plenum

Enjoying the car honestly feels weird! - The R32 wanted to go and see his R33 friends so we went and said hello :cheers:

I had a slow week or two at work and was feeling kinda down so i bought myself an ARC cooling Panel for the R32, i love ARC, i love their story and their products so i was happy to pick up this piece, hopefully some more parts pop up that i can buy :)

This is something to smile about i guess

Nice work mate, I always enjoy seeing a gtr kitted gts or gtst.

If I've read it right a rb25 +t should be a very nice upgrade over the 20de

Thanks! :)

I have an RB25DE from and R33 at the moment (which i found to be a great upgrade in itself haha) and I've just finished an RB25DET from an R33 which is going in in the next month or so

I was going to dabble with +T setups because it really interests me, but i ended up getting a plain old boring DET motor :)

  • 1 month later...

Woohoo! im back and with pics!!

Been a while since i posted but it's all happening!!

Took the car for it's last naturally aspirated drive to wisemans ferry, it was a strangely cold night and the car absolutely loved it, shame to think i was pulling the motor out the next day!

Put the Rb25 in my mate's stagea and set off to my dad's house who has a garage he's letting me use!

Went for a swim and had some lunch while we let the bay dry :yes:

More news when i get home! :)

New ARP Flywheel Bolts
New Nissan Clutch bolts

New Spiggot

While the engine was out i decided to install a GKtech solid steering spacer, mine was in surprisingly good condition already, but i thought it was a good idea while the engine was out! I also replaced my steering rack bushes, they where haggard.. Should feel much better up front with both of those done!

I put the new engine in, got my dad to give me a hand with that haha.. Engine wired up and pumps mounted it was time for bed

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
