But i did manage to get the TPS mounted to the new throttle body. Also got the inlet manifold bolted upto the motor and have mocked up the IC pipes so now know what bends and joiners etc that i need to will get onto ordering that this week.

Sorry guys i was wanting to get a chunk done this weekend

Not too much this weekend. Doing a rollcage for a mini cooper try earn some extra $$$ new weekend WILL be productive though yesterday paid a large bill for a HEAP of Aeroflow bits. They shot me a message and they are now a sponsor so will be adding them to the lineup. So the car now has a nice new fuel system, intercooler and pipework, oil system etc.. will be rather exciting and lots happening next weekend. Need to find someone down south end of adelaide who can crimp on 4 and 8 gauge lugs for my power and earth runs if anyone knows of someone.

Also just got myself a trusty hauler a ford wagon so that will be the new parts hauler and tow vehicle!

Well well its been one busy ass week sorry for the delay in ipdates but i had 3 boxes of aeroflow gear rockup so have been smashing out a heap of work after work each night.

So hot side is all done, manifold is fitted, turbo is done all water lines, oil feed and drain is done. And have tacked up the gate pipe and main exhaust.

Have the new intercooler hung and pipes are almost finished need some different silicone bends but these will do for now.

Also new oil cooler setup is done. Have mounted it behind the drivers side vent in the bumper and planning on fitting a power steering cooler on the passenger side. Also had to modify the block so that it would take the autometer oil pressure sender. The oil filter will be pointing down into the lower area behind the bumper for easy access and less mess. Also left the oil fittings loose on the cooler so that we can fill the cooler prior to filling the enging so that we can prime the system instead of it having to fill the coolerpost-96314-14371051512819_thumb.jpgpost-96314-14371052134642_thumb.jpg

Also engine bay is 99% buttoned up. Was hoping for fireup basically now but friday night i figured i was missing a rather important part of the puzzle... plug leads. So called around but noone had any of the MSD kits in stock so that didnt happen :(

So after working out that i had no leads i didnt pull any all nighters so all that is left is wire up the CAS to haltech, hookup fuel pump power to lift and 044 then abit of wiring in the cabin and should be ready for dyno.

Then will focus on suspension and handling again. Aiming for a reliable 300rwkw so nothing extrodinary but we had too much grip for the power we had so gain some more power chase some more grip then wind her up abit more. There is an engine in the works and that is when you will see the dry sump come into play ;)

Cheers for reading guys!!

PS hopefully have a startup video next weekend!!

Cheers mate. I was sitting looking at it last night its nowhere near what some people have build but for my first ever build in the shed that i have lol.

Yeah was looking at the turbo beanies and some titanium heat wrap just keep some heat away from everything. Also forgot to upload this pic of the fuel system aswell.

post-96314-14373524956199_thumb.jpg

Very nice - orderly layout easy to follow.

The 34 looks to have incorporated a bolt on gusset between the fuel tank hump and effectively the rear chassis rails. Interesting.

I'd rate this build as more comprehensively thought-out than most, and the execution of each element is fine (no small compliment there either).

Keep at it, most interested to see/hear results of the finished machine.

Cheers mate definatley makes the late nights worthwhile! Really wanted to be driving august 1st but $$$ mean i cant order bits i need just yet :( also bought the msd ls1 caps and msd lead but seems to have been a waste of money i cant make these leads go through the plug for the life of me! Rather frustrated. First thing thats genuinely beaten me :(

So today finished up the haltech wiring but my CTS and IAT sensor calibration information i got seems to be abit off so going to need to find out whats happening with that. But as for the fuel maps im not 100% sure i have gone about it the right way but i just need a tune to get it on the trailer lol. But i have a map for a stock engine/injectors now the map is around the 50 to 80% so with a 300cc injector at 50% it allows through 165cc of fuel so my 1600cc injector to allow through 165cc of fuel needs to be at 10.3% duty cycle.. and 62% = 186cc = 11.6% and so on and so forth... so will see what i can do tomorrow but kicked it in the ass today and she wanted to but smelt extremely strong of fuel so probs flooded. Only issue is my Innovate LC 2 hasnt arrived so cant check the afr accuratley :( will post pics tomorrow

Its a sport 1000. I got the base R34 map but because the stock r34 runs a 330cc injector it was set for the duty cycle needed for the 330cc now running 1600 ive had to drop back the tables massivley. I now have it starting unhappily but starting. As for the IAT and the CTS i found that you can save calibration tables so i saved a holden VN IAT table and loaded that into the map and was mint so rather happy about that. Once i workout how to upload videos i have a short startup video. Also some pictures...

Cleaned up alot more of the loom that used to run under the dash

Still looks dirty but i think once its all painted one colour it will be much better.

Also buttoning up the engine bay, have fitted the front bar and guards etc.. once its on wheels i will roll it back and need to drill holes in the bar for more air into the oil cooler and FMIC and will be making a headlight duct soon.

Also machined up a bung for the IAT Sensor

Not the worlds best welding but 3 months ago i couldnt weld alloy to save my life haha

Also persisted with the MSD leads and managed to get them all made and found a tricky little way of making pushing the lead through way easier

post-96314-14379045924975_thumb.jpg

Silicone on silicone sticks so drilled out a 10mm bolt and used that.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
