Ok so the "warm engine" issue is still there. But it's obviously a sensor playing up when hot. So I will be ordering a z32 and a new 02 sensor and ect

On another note we got to compression test it

Cylinders 1-6 in order were 140,140,135,140,140,135

Which is great! So the RB20 will be staying for now.

Now that we know that the turbo is f**ked and I plan to pick up a op6 on Tuesday which will be sent off for highflow shortly after.

Question do I bother with an external gate or keep running internal with a 3 inch dump

Is it really all wank factor. Or is there a noticeable difference?

I've had cars with screamers. And it seems like the boost doesn't hit as strong and it feels like it's all noise. Considering I've driven my old 32 with internal gate. And it pulled great! Comparing it to other cars running slightly more boost similar setup etc but running an external gate

Sick of chasing sensor issues. So why not buy them all

My little shopping spree today consisted of

Z32

Tomei plug

Genuine coolant temp sensor

Genuine 02 sensor

New genuine coilpack harness (mines f**ked 2 plugs don't exist just the wires Jammed in there

Brand new splitfire

Upper radiator hose as mines kinked

Genuine key as the mr minit ones gay as f**k

Replacement Coilovers arrived they will be installed Saturday along with solid subframe collars [emoji106]

I'll get pics for you guys this week

Went to my house just before to pickup some parcels

Look what arrived!

And I've been waiting 5 years to buy this. My girlfriend ended up getting it for my birthday this month. It isn't really for the 32 specifically. I will obviously run it in there. But I won't be selling it with the car if the time ever came. But for now let's not think about that! Because I won't be selling it.

Spent $1600 this week. Let's see what else shows up in the mail shall we?

Whole car is getting painted soon hopefully I'll keep you updated

Althought I've been pulled over. And even had my car searched twice. Not a care in the world about the multi coloured car.

Even had a highway patrol pull me over going down the main road of goulburn I had belts on the tires. I was there for 2 minutes followed by a have a good day......

Seems like they only go after neat cars now haha

Although one hwp tried to corner me the other day I simply switched directions but my drivers side blinker was hanging out with a million pieces of duct tape. I think he was only really annoyed about that. If stares could kill I would be dead.

Hey guys

Been a little while since my last update been flat out!!! had some progress and some parts arrive, had some parts installed and had some more shit go wrong !! :thumbsup:

So last weekend my replacement coilovers (or so i thought) had arrived and i was going in saturday to get them installed. Despite complaining of suspension noise only the bottom collars were replaced. Thats fine I have every suspension component on order, Ill install them and take it back. We will see if the noise is due to it being an "old car".

I've also installed solid subframe collars [emoji106]

Ok so we had a slight hiccup one of the shops I visited. Had done up my wheels. Snapped 2 studs cross threaded 2 and actually stripped the splines on the last one causing it to free spin

Here's the boys attacking it with me for hours on end!

Wasn't a fun job. 6 hours later after a prybar, drill, hammer, die grinder, rattle gun, and assorted random bits of shit including a hockey stick it was finally off

Here's some photos of the extensive damaged by a workshop.... Why open a workshop? The whole reason I went to one in the first place was I was sick of fixing other people's f**k ups and in the end... Have to repair them anyways!

This is the final time the car goes to a workshop. I don't pay to finish the repairs myself. And have the job made 100x worse

For jobs requiring a shop I will be monitoring the car myself.

On a brighter note these had arrived this week

Currently still need to install all this gear !

post-108512-14336673147854_thumb.jpg

Also due to going away for the long weekend upon inspecting my front tires!

post-108512-14336673758082_thumb.jpg

So I bought some temp wheels while my new ones arrive

post-108512-14336674065477_thumb.jpg

Also last but not least these arrived last week didn't get to pick them up until yesterday they look a little funny due to the car being red and blue but they will soon make sense once the cars painted

post-108512-14336674688811_thumb.jpg

In case anyone was wondering this is a daily car that's a drifter of the weekend. Can't remember if I mentioned this before

Extremely well considering!

I mean we can see in the tread this would be a field trip for him. He pointed out a few faults checked my lights failed that

Got his stick with the little trolley wheel "piece of engineering" he called it. Failed that

A home done emissions test failed that "the black soot over the rear bar indicates that the car has been tampered with". Apparently being 4 different colours isn't an indication.

Completely ignores everything else and doesn't even open the bonnet!

I then re assured him the tires are brand new which they are and he definatly knew that. Considering I told him 5 times

Let's me off with $104 fine. What a champion. This shows you how much your attitude can change a potential major grounded and fines galore.

Sure old mate has a quota. And I'm not mr innocent. We both know the cars not quite legal. I'm happy by helping him fill that quota a little by him not trying to empty my pocket and ruin my weekend.

This is what a proper officer of the law should be doing. He's just doing his job we all have that boss who tells us what to do and he is told to raise revenue etc. he can achieve this without being a flamin mongrel and he successfully done that

The car may not be legal but it sure as hell is safe.

:)

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
