Dropped off the bottom end today to the machine shop. Getting hot tank acid wash bored honed tunnel squared to deck crank nitrated oil galleries cleaned grub screws fitted to crank. Crank modified for 25 oil pump ballanced and a few other things done.

I have been looking at the oil restrictor threads on here and from what I can make out I need to block off the rear feed in the block and put a 1.5mm in the front one. Car is mainly for street use with the odd track day. Or would I be better off with 2x 1mm feeds or 2 x 1.25mm?

Well your call but 2x 1.0mm gives slightly less flow than 1 x 1.5 but has the security of two feeds instead of one (in the hopefully unlikely event that one gets blocked). On the other hand 2 x 1.25 flow a LOT more than one 1.5 (don't forget you can buy them from me unless you have a better source).

Well been a while since I've done anything else. Its going to be a long build. Pick up arp head studs tomorrow. I have a new inlet and exhaust gasket now waiting. Machine shop is making slow process but not worried as I told them I don't want it back until about May June. Have been told that the Nistune won't be able to handle the setup as will have to much air flow for the airflow meter. Will have problems with it stalling. Waiting for Matt from Nistune to get back to me. Worst case I'm up for a new ecu. Any suggestions?

Adaptronic.

Whilst Adaptronic or any other aftermarket ECU are perfectly valid suggestions, it is not true that you can't use Nistune because of having too much air flow for the AFM. You can put a Ford Lightning AFM onto it - Nstune can handle it. You can put an R35 GTR AFM's sensor into a 6" pipe and measure 3000HP worth of air if you want to. There's not really any limits from that point of view. The main limit with Nistune is lack of extra functions and sometimes the problems where the stock ECU's self protection behaviours get in the way of tuning more extreme engines. Sometimes there are ways around them, and sometimes there are not. Sometimes the ways around those problems get found before, during or after your build/tune. Sometimes they don't.

I was in the same boat last year. Loved the nistune just the AFM was a little annoying with my intake setup as I am running a 4" pipe. Talk to Matt about a mob over in the U.S that does specialty AFM's. It was what I was going to run as it was perfect for my situation and Matt has already integrated them into nistune.

I have a topic on here about it, search and you shall find.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
