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.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
