Been lazy on the update front so here's some pics!

Swapped the engine, no fuss, towed it home from my dad's place to my friends fab shop for intercooler piping and some exhaust modifications, and finally back back home to do the fiddly stuff like electronics!

Made up some fuel lines with aeroflow 400 series rubber lines and their swivel fit 90's - the rubber is a personal thing, im not a fan of braided lines

I also replaced the exhaust gaskets with FRUSH items, they are a reusable 7layer steel exhaust gasket, will be nice to see how they go!

I also took my dump off and had a flex joint put in, i feel it's best i did this now rather than down the track, and the car isn't moving at the moment so i got that done

And got started on my rear subframe, i purchased a spare so i could do a straight swap, i got the old destroyed bushes out my warming them up.. lol

and when we got a little impatient with how long it was taking, we'd give it a bit of encouragement..

Not one complaint from the neighbours either, i must be doing something right! - The subframe is currently at my friend's workshop getting the GKTECH weld in reinforcement plates welded in before getting powder coated

The shop in charge of all of my fabrication work is Impossible Fabrications and are mainly known for their RWD SR20 Honda Civic.. :yes: If you need fabrication work done in sydney i can't suggest them enough :)

Car is off to DVS JEZ for a tune next wednesday, so hopefully all goes well! - Will be back with some more pics ASAP!

Righto! car is ready for tune! heading up to DVS JEZ on wednesday, hopefully all goes well.. Pretty keen to get back on the road, been a while!

Here are some pics

Got the cooling system being pressure tested, no leaks which is good

Intercooler piping back in, gave it a hit with primer and some satin black paint to help tie it in with the black engine bay. The blue silicon joiners will get changed eventually, but the focus right now is getting it running.. I also painted the rocker covers again as the wrinkle didn't look too great.. Finished it off with a brand new R34 GTR ornament cover, because well it looks great in my opinion

Looking good in the sun

Woke up nice and early to drop the car at the tuners, here's a sneaky pic at Maccas while we were eating lots of hash browns :yes:

So i dropped the car at JEZ, it was absolutely freezing :closedeyes: , we got the car off the trailer and pushed it into his shop. We had a lovely chat about cars, parts and other car related things, i pat his cat and left.

A little while later i received a call letting me know that there was an issue, whoever put my engine together had put the exhaust cam on 10 teeth out of line and that he would be fixing it.. :verymad: I called the mechanic who built my engine who's "PHONE DIED" just after i said what had happened, who now won't reply to any of my messages or calls, f**king moron.. - ANYWAY

Thanks guys :) can't wait to see how it goes

Bringing it home while i save for rego and recoup from the costs lately to do a few other things to tidy her all up first

Plans are install GTR rear seats and sound deadening, fix up speaker wiring, conduit hoses and wiring in engine bay to clean things up and give it a nice wash and detail for the first time in a loooong time :)

Yeah man, it's a shame.. I'm just glad no damage was done..

Well, the car is registered, woke up this morning and dropped the run in oil and replaced with some fresh penrite and then took it for a spin today just around my local area and wow it's fast, well much faster than it was and the response is incredible, I'm a very happy chap!

I'm also really happy with the exhaust, i picked it up for $350 or so from a guy on facebook, it was an HKS 3" mild steel system with 2 mufflers and it sounds great! not overly loud with a really nice note, can't wait to open it up and get above 4k rpm.. lol

Ahhhh you are that guy! Saw your car at Jez's and said how nice it looked. Couldn't believe the photo he showed me of your can timing, that is mind boggling.

You are unbelievably insanely lucky that you didn't bend any valves!

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.

      Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...

      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
