Gave the bay a quick degrease and clean and moved the wiring out into the guard to help protect it from the heat FC989980-B9BF-46E1-B3B2-E5B4EB911588.thumb.jpeg.fb8d61cf2fce6c95991419d850439145.jpegI’m going to strip the harness and move the abs plug back into the bay and completely remove the wires that are no long being used (air flow meters and etc)56032D25-44DC-4610-AF15-892823C78FC3.thumb.jpeg.a92db8e30908221ba845b8a29de4fd6a.jpegand then after fitting and removing the manifold and turbo countless times getting the oil feed and drain hoses to a point where I was finally happy it’s all sitting in there and ready to start 352C6DC2-6D8F-4F65-A775-2779EFA12E86.thumb.jpeg.72b9d41934375ef0f8981af7c7ab54bf.jpegstill a few things to button up before I can send it for the custom work but hopefully not to far away ?

I think I've put two and two together and figured out your the Brett that used to work at this mechanic shop near Blacktown and did a clutch on my old white R33 back probably 2008 and I dropped off a slab afterwards.

Unless I am completelt wrong lol

Yep that would be me, there were times I wondered if that was your 33 and then I saw the photos of a blue one and figured I was wrong 

That old S2 1998 is long gone, probably wrapped around a pole or tree :(

So had a bit of a scare and thought the head gasket might have let go and I just hadn’t noticed. Finally sealed up the open ports on the cooling system and pulled the plugs out and pressure tested the cooling system.

turned out to be a false alarm and everything is good to go, have ordered the mufflers for it and should have them in the coming days

also ordered a few non engine related bits

I think you missed some updates. 

This went from "turbo is sitting on a manifold needing custom parts" to "I thought I blew the head gasket"

How?! Ha ha

When I pulled the exhaust off there was beads of water all through it and then when i started the car to check for leaks it blew water out the back of the turbo. But turned out to be excessive condensation 

Need to remember this is a stock engine with a factory head gasket and some head studs thrown in, I have no idea what the limit is going to be and it’s always in the back of my mind.

tacked the gates on to make sure they clear everything and roofed the manifold again to have them completely welded

Do you happen to know if the Frenchys people have an email address or anything old fashioned like a phone so I can speak to somebody about thei CAS trigger?  Just that their contacts page is blank.

No idea to be honest, everything I’ve bought from frenchys has come through hi octane racing

I liked the look of their CAS conversion.

Its stock occifer, honest.....

First I installed this thing and it’s made it so much easier to actually see what I’m doing instead of the stupid work light C3FBED9D-3479-475A-8548-235317CDE51A.thumb.jpeg.049620ca70caf76eb89f82ea707e4514.jpegI stripped the wiring harness apart and cut these off then pulled the wires through the harness and removed them from the ecu plug (more inputs yay) 43F12725-156B-420A-9340-FC239D6C99EF.thumb.jpeg.5d7ee624d04462cb3a99265834369ad8.jpegthen buttoned up the harness, ran it inside the guard liner, secured it and then fitted the guard liner back in and the put the wheel back onB72B5CF6-7119-436B-A4FD-828BCDD41C37.thumb.jpeg.e485076e20e1b90f3db0d41bf5397d11.jpeg

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
