Once again correct me if I am wrong,

32 and 33 GTR have the same boxes the only difference being push or pull.

Early 32 GTR Push

Late 32 GTR and all 33 GTR Pull

Thanks for the info mate much appreciated :)

This is defiantly a big learning experience

Yes both the 32 and 33 have the separate ignitor in the rb26 and have 5spd gearboxes

But on the actual harness the 32 has a grey plug where it connects into the car and the 33 has a black plug (which are also different shapes)

Update time

Engine is together

86mm Ross pistons mated up with Eagle rodss and ACL race bearings

ARP head studs and and main studs hold everything together

I have pictures on another phone of the build I will post them up sometime soon

The -5 turbos, and manifolds were all port matched and mounted with Tomei style high flow dump pipes and HKS waste gate actuators

Fitted up the Greddy manifold never actually realized how big it was compared to the stock one

Fitted a HKS fuel rail with 1200cc Deutchworks injectors

Was a bitch to fit engine but we got it done

Fuel system is done

Running a big surge tank roughly 8L

Twin 044 pumps rubber mounted into a Aeroflow Y block, 2x one way check valves

Teflon braided fuel line is used for the supply and return lines

E85 rated hose is used in the fuel tank and to the supply to surge

Half way down the car is a 200 micron cleanable E85 fuel filter

And I'm running a Tomei fuel regulator

They look like Racing Gear JTC coilovers.

Does it ride real stiff?

Havent driven the car yet lol

Are they any good besides the ride?

I have a mate that may be interested in swapping them out for a Tein kit as he tracks the car move than he street drives

The next issue was the drivers side piping from the body to the Greddy manifold

The manifold inlet was around 100mm (4inch) with the hard piping kit it then reduced to 80mm outside diameter. The internal diameter of the cast hard pipe was 75mm (3inch) so my thoughts are with such a large step down that could be a point of restriction

So I called my good mate Nick who owns The Exhaust Center Midvale to see what he could do

Nick has done countless jobs for me from full custom exhausts to tow points, fire extinguisher mounts the list goes on definitely a great fabricator.

Here is what he had to work with

Nick spoke to me about it and said there was no way we could run 4inch from the intercooler but he thought with some minor body mods he could get a 3.5inch pipe to work and delete the lower silicone joiner this should reduce the amount of boost pipes blowing off

The result

I am really happy with

Imo it looks alot cleaner than the hard pipe kit and not as drastic angle changes

Not far until start up
Just small jobs to finish up
Its been a long time since I have done any soldering and wiring repairs on a car. I was lucky enough that the last 2 ex girlfriends were fully qualified auto sparkies hahahahaha :devil:
Anyway started fitting new plugs for injectors soon realized why I should have stuck it out with the ex...... :domokun:

I'm shit at soldering hahahahaha :rofl2:

Anyway with the help of my main man Peter Gray we got the plugs soldered taped and in place

I dropped in the coolant over flow bottle, windscreen washer and oil catch can assembly, fitted the radiator that Peter had already wired and mounted a craid davies thermo fan. Finally hooked up the catch can just need the Vipec ECU wired in and we are good for start up

One thing to note,

The 3.5" pipe that goes through the body, you need to put some rubber moulding type stuff around it otherwise it will wear through!

Happened on my mates s15 :S.

Yeah Nick said that but I'm gonna wait until the car is running and on the dyno to check

He said it may require more clearencing on the lip he rolled

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
