Where am I at ?  as usual here now prob a dump of accumulated months and months

 

I have decided to do some upgrades both to advance the car and also create a spares package to reduce time off track should something occur... all the theories

 

there is engines, bodywork, technology and just stuff....

 

So pulling the car basically all apart

New engine will be built to rb28 specs the current decent built rb25 will be a spare

Head starts as a hydro rb25 head but full porting, supertech solid conversion + other goodies also the usual Kelfords etc etc

I use a 5 - 0 Ignite trigger kit - they upgraded me to their new 36 -2 situation

Updating the rad - the Koyo has done its job and moving to a PWR crossflow

Ive been running 9.5" rims with 265/35 tyres up front to date - they have done the job but really are struggling and get torn to pieces so move to big boy tyres means alot of changes - going to 295/35 is a huge diameter jump and some width

New TC105X 18 x 10.5 + 12s acquired

A struggle is to fit the combo into the arch etc as it hit alot of places so we added some inner clearance modding the J arm and now all fits nicely

Have gone the Motec dash route for data - not that i know what Im talking about but others do so they can use the info

One of the upgrades is also Bosch MS ABS for braking and outward sensors for wheel speed allowing lots of data for the likes of traction control, the diff guy to get info and blaa blaa

I think thats it for now

Says Mr. engine and upgrades himself 😄

Eh not here to be showy, but also got nothing to hide on my build have spent lots yeop and just hope I go faster lol

I just got inspired and sort alot of info through reading about cars on this forum so put it out there in case someone has a question or might want to try something 

Ye I prob seem like ABS fan boi been talking about it for ages finally just threw it in the f*ck it bucket and bit the bullet

yes to traction control the sensors are there so why not - it'll be through Haltech - I know there are better out there but cant have everything... yet. How good it'll be will be interesting and up for debate till proven in a practical situation

Interesting for those playing at home, apparently outboard sensors on the hubs vs using those in std gtr etc off the diff increases the accuracy of the data dramatically as there is so much chatter that comes off the diff

f**k me, 10k for the ABS? 

Will be interesting to see how the difference feels.  I've been living with 3 channel, 30 yo ABS for a long time, would be very interesting to see how it feels back to back.

That was my reaction when I looked at pricing. 

Given I am about to replace my master, is it worth me trying to implement basic Nissan ABS? I was also under the impression it was not suitable for motorsport. 

I'm just going to a BM57 to match the 350z Brembos - the car has never had ABS.

Ive been living with no ABS

back to back will be hard considering I am making so many changes at once but obviously feel etc blaa blaa

I also saw it (we all stretch for any justification in these circumstance's) as a combo thing coupling the traction control - so that halves the cost ???  bahaha

The J arm mod, did you do it just for that section because it was the most like aera to hit the tyre and also did you think about carrying it around to the top were it bolts to?

20220729_171943.jpg

It was the first incarnation of this thought process

The tyre shouldnt reach there any tyre deflection under load should be squish which is sideways so shouldn't need ? 🤷‍♂️

Also need to add bracing to the back of it for support

I have all adjustable arms etc but yeop bolted up fine

I now know of 2 more r32 gtst and an R32 GTR running r33 / r34 gtst (same) front knuckles also - so should bolt up fine  * all have fully adjustable arms though

Got a new diff built 

 

S15 housing to match what my current one is 

Nismo GT pro 1.5 centre

Neat gearbox new 4.11 gear set shot peened & polished

Gktech rear cover for extra oil - takes 2.1 ltrs all up

 

Moving from my current 3.7 gearing to 4.11 to make use of more engine and revs and bigger profile tyre means I was geared to break land speed records and the gear although was nice and 'safe' to roll around at relatively low revs really wasnt right

my current diff is built almost to the same specs - will be going 4.11 also and be a spare, hopefully I never have to use it though!

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
