Like a boss!

Going to run a fuel cooler? Fuel might get a bit warm with those heaters haha

I want to get the car running and tuned. I know there will be gremlins to sort out so will take it as comes. Car goes in for fab work later this week. Some ceramic coating to follow then fire dis bish up. Cant wait to hear dat bridgeport idle.

So i spent some time tonight moving the now largely useless loom from the passenger side engine bay into the gaurd.

This connector was part of it. Does anyone know what it does? Does it need to be plugged in?

Seems to lead to the wheel hub. Is it an abs or awd thing?

I looked this up at one point on my own car and yes I'm fairly sure it was the abs sensor

Yeah i think so also. Have extended the loom on the sensor and connected it up where it needs to go. All good, was lazy for a second lol

How are you travelling with the build, can’t be much left now?

Mechanical work is done. Fab work done recently by a friend. Work was top notch. Custom baffled catch can and battery mount, bracket for power steering reservoir, intake pipe and dump pipe with vbands, gate pipe welded up etc

2018-05-01_08-23-41

Got the manifold, dump, rear housing, gate pipe ceramic coated.

After i got everything back i got busy at home. Braided oil and water lines, braided wastegate hoses, moved wiring into the gaurd, sorted out power steering hoses.

A while back i wired up the io box with flex, oil press, fuel press, boost solenoid, map sensor, wb1 controller kit so thats all sorted.

Cranked it over last night. engine eventually started for a few seconds before the wife came in and was forced to shut it down. Guess i shouldny really be starting it at 10pm with the newborn sleeping diredtly above the garage!

After i actually get it idling ill send it in for tuning. Not long now.

Sounded beastly. I forgot how much i miss it.

Awesome result, what boost are you pushing through it?
You’re going to have your hands full when it’s on boost

Thats on 32psi only. Can push it further but need a heavier wastegate spring.

So managed to get 1 run in at wsid before they cancelled the night got cancelled. 10.8 @ 140mph.

Will try and get back out there and better the time. Launch was messy at 1.8 60ft.

Overall ecstatic. 10s first pass. No prep. Decided i was going to race at 6pm after i finished work. Didnt even check tyre pressures or oil level. Opened the garage and drove to the track. With 140mph, theres heaps of room to improve the time.

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
