Great build mate. What are your aims for hp and 1/4 mile times?

Thanks mate. Not attempting to break any records id like to make close to 1000rwhp and keep things relatively reliable run high 8's with what appears a pretty complete nice looking car.

-16 dry break for filling the fuel tank. We wanted to keep the fuel tank as high as possible to gravity feed the mechanical fuel pump up front. By doing that it caused filling and fuel capacity issues if we used the factory filling location. Fingers crossed with a straight-ish run of -12 line and the biggest body highest flowing aeromotive inline filter we will supply fuel the length of the car without the need for a front mounted fuel cell. A lot of the muscle car guys run this system and said as long as you don't 60ft under 1.2 sec they have found this to work and keep things simple.

Could've dropped some easy weight by ditching the exhaust but i prefer the sound through muffler and no screamers so we built a full 4.5" system using volvo 4.5" truck clamps as i couldn't sources 4.5" vbands at a decent price

Built muffler to how we wanted it 4.5" inlet to twin 3.5" tips for the factory look haha only came in full packed with glass and steel wool at 12KG so not too heavy.

This is the stuff dreams are made of!! Simply beautiful work Ryan. Someone knows what they're doing, well done sir.

Very interested to know who is doing all the fabrication work?

Cheers mate appreciate you're comment. This is definitely my dream/ultimate build id been constructing this one in my head for a long time now and its finally about to come to life very exciting . All the design/fabrication work was done by Daniel from DTP motorsports his is a very very talented guy. Check out his Facebook page he goes to extreme lengths for the smallest details and that was just how i wanted this build..

Coolant, Fuel and oil pressure sensors.

Removed standard chopper rings from the front driveshafts and replaced them with a less tooth item we had water jet cut to keep the new sensor and motec happy.

Once the standard fascia was how we wanted the final product it was wrapped in fibreglass and this plug was made. Undercoated then cleared and polished so the carbon didn't stick to the plug.

post-20010-0-25692300-1421059952_thumb.jpg

Heres the carbon going into the plug. We really need a vaccum bag setup to get a perfect finish for this job.

post-20010-0-29640200-1421060198_thumb.jpg

Finished product. Would've liked to have the bare carbon look but we got a few imperfection in the finish we couldn't hide so we painted to suit factory dash.

4 button steering wheel setup.

post-20010-0-17973200-1421061328_thumb.jpg

To save getting caught up in the wiring on the back of the wheel while your steering the thing a wood plug was made into a certain shape to cover the buttons. Then a thin sheet of ally was massaged around the timber to cover the wiring and also to mount to the wheel. Turned out great. :yes:

Chassis harness just completed and ready for install. Around 1400m of cable at this point in the chassis with the engine and ignition coil harnesses still to do. Mentioned in a previous post we're running a motec power distribution module this is a electronic relay/fuse box that can be programmed to perform functions like turn on & off pumps/solenoids/lights and really simplifies wiring. Only the engine thermo fan and lights couldn't be controlled by the power distribution module as we ran out of outputs. Some clever stuff can be programmed with this module.

One example is the 1st gear switch input for the ecu to lock out a transbrake launch/solenoid if your about to launch the car from a stop and your in second gear :whistling:

Where did you get the Motec kit from if you don't mind me asking? What was the pricing like?

Mate I'm not going to lie its quite expensive gear. I actually purchased the M800 back in 2002 and is still current today where some guys might have had to upgrade twice since the early 2000's to expand there requirements. Each purchase was spread out over a few different cars iv built so not one big hit to the wallet haha :spank: You can email any motec dealer and they will email you retail price catalogue. Retail is what everyone pays unfortunately.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • 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  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
