So wiring is all good... Found out my neutral/park switch is broken, little button is gone hence why it's not closing in neutral/park... So I'll get one of those expressed up on Monday. 

Found out I had to bring my cable from the engine back with this shifter so I had to make up a new bracket and use the original cable my shifter came with.... Bit annoying but oh well. 

Gonna have to plumb the screamer back up so I don't melt the cable ?

Cleaned it up and added in some extra support so it doesn't flap around. Not bad for a sparky ?

And finally made up the clutch cover.... It's not symmetrical or anything but idc, it covers the hole and won't even really be able to see it with everything back in.

Happy with the progress today! Not much to go now, everythings wired up, brackets are all made (painting tomorrow). Hopefully pick up my non abs tailshaft tomorrow and fit the rear half on and it all fits up nicely. Then just put brake pedal back in and I'll try and put my inner guard back on with some trimming to fit around the cooler/fan.

You forgot 1 thing on that list. Run 10'semoji6.png

Hehe that should be a given :P

Is the next plan a cage? Committing to the auto kind of dictates a cage is next....

No cage on the horizon at this stage. I want to keep it a street car, and no point as only need cage for sub 10 seconds. When I build a new setup I'll run a sub 10 and go from there. I don't wanna get roped into the time game as it starts getting really expensive after that hahah!

What track are you running at? I'm pretty sure it is less than 11. 0 and built before 2008 needs a cage, after 2008 can go 10.0 before needing a cage. That is for Andra tracks

bingo!

So it's all done now 8) picked up my old tailshaft and installed the rear half and got the brackets and stuff all in. Car feels good, going in for a retune this arvo to make sure its still all good. I'll throw my mickeys back on after dyno and see how much better it will pull when it's hooking up 8) It bakes low gear with my 18s.

Here's tailshaft difference.

And what you all really want to see.... Short shifted 1st as it was spinning so it bogged a bit in 2nd. Will get a good vid with mickeys on!

So through her on the dyno for a touch up yesterday. Went 444.9whp so about 12% loss. Also found out my front left shock is dead, pissed out fluid everywhere so I've found a set of second hand shocks I'm gonna put my coils on. Thing squats so well now with stock suspension. Through the mickeys back on yesterday arvo and took it for a quick spin and holy shit.... It hooks up and pulls. Havent really found a place to give it a good pull though. Once I change suspension it will be going in for a wheel alignment to get it all on point. Should hook up even better once thats done and maybe even on my 18s..

We tried adding in more boost but power didn't change, tuner thinks maybe throttle body is limitting it but heaps of people have made more power with stock throttle body. Thinking about putting a turbo on that will work well with the new setup I want to build and also wind a little more in now. Thinking about going for a GTW3884R 64mm, thoughts??

Here's a little pic of how she sits atm. Doesn't look bad with stock height. Mickeys fill the guards well though.

Need to get a speedo module to adjust my speedo as it's about double the speed ?

Changing the front shock this arvo as it pissed out all the fluid and then off for a wheel alignment Friday arvo ready for roll racing Saturday night if its not raining.

Been pissing down in Brissy, so drags got cancelled and roll racing got cancelled so I got a ticket to happy laps on Sunday to go and test it all out! Powerglide is sick and it just hooks up now with the mickeys and stock suspension. Couldn't fault it except I could use a little more power ? 

Heres a quick vid from yesterday.

Few shots from the track as well.

So the plan atm is to run it down the strip and see what she does with this setup. Hopefully run a 10 so I can pull this turbo off and replace my hot side with a totally new setup. Looking at a PTE 6466 Gen2 CEA 1.0 rear on a CRG T4 Twin scroll manifold with a 45mm single gate, 4" dump with a 3.5" behind that. We'll wind it up to 480-500whp through the auto and leave it there while I build a 25/30. Once the motors built upgrade injectors to xspurt 1550s with twin 460s feeding them and wind it up to 500rwkw+.

Hey Klutched, What size tyres are you running on those GTR wheels? Think its about time I get my shit together and go run some good times. 

Hey they're 255/50r16, which are shagged already :(

Gonna take it out tomorrow night for a final run at the strip and see what we can do. Weathers been terrible this week but hopefully tomorrow's ok. If we manage to crack a 10 then tyres will be binned and turbo setup will be coming off and sold being replaced by something bigger (not a 6466) 8)

Hahaha thanks for sharing tyre sizes. Are they just called Mickey Thompson ET Street? When I searched them they came up with a few different models. Good luck with the 10s!!!

They're Mickey Thompson ET Street S/S. Its the only one they have that size in. 

So last night was a decent night out, got lots of runs and not bad figures considering. Had good consistency over the night, had a few passes. Turbos maxed out and hitting 63* by 3/4 track and pulling my top end down. Car still has the MPH which is awesome, just need to get that 60ft down. Launching at 4k off the transbrake is solid but only 1.7 60fts, anymore the tyres would just blow off cause it was launching at full boost (20psi). 

Ultimately theres time left in this setup, but I don't think I'm going to bother with it. Gonna look at a 35r or PTE 66mm to fix the IATs and push a bit more power through it. I'll run it at roll racing on the 3rd and then pull the box and send the converter off to get setup for my car.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
