Got the bay done yesterday after work! Not a fun job pulling the loom out with everything still attached... Car's almost ready to go to painter now. I want to weld up the stock intercooler holes so we have no drama drilling new one later. Ideally I'd like to get motor in with manifolds and turbo on and mock up piping and cut holes etc and then get it painted. Will see what happens though. 

Need to degrease the bay and give it a good clean with the gurney. My powersteering has been leaking for a while so its covered in oil..

So she went off to the painter on Wednesday. Should be ready mid next week ? start putting all the stuff back into the bay and get the loom all cleaned up ready to go.

Ordered plazmaman 100mm intercooler, 72mm throttlebody and flange to weld onto the greddy intake and a few 3" plazmaclamps. Hopefully be here in the next few weeks and start mounting it up.

Car came back today! Super happy with how it turned out! Makes me wanna respray the whole thing ? 

Got a few things back in today, auto brake pedal, booster and throttle cable all done so rest of it is engine bay work now. Tomorrow I'll plumb the A/C, bring wiring harness back through the guard and put the headlights back in.

Progress is happening slowly. Got almost everything back in the bay now. Decided I'm going to delete the fuse box and make it look nice somehow. Also put in a new universal washerbottle instead of the hideously massive stock item. Heres the car as she sits.

Pulled the loom apart to add/remove anything we wont be using, going to give it a makeover with some nice sleeving and reroute wiring into the guards to keep it looking clean! Few more wires and stuff to add for additional sensors and thing then start depinning and sleeving it all! Should be a fun time.... not!

Last but not least new pistons! Couple bores were a bit out of wack so stepping it up to a 86.5 9:1CR. Should bump it up nicely from the 8.5:1 pistons that were in it. Dropped them off at machinist tonight, rotating assemblys off to balancer this week and the blocks going for a bore and acid dip to clean it up nicely ? Should only be a couple weeks away now!

So been working on the wiring harness the last few weeks. Im pretty happy with how it turned out for what it is. I think id rather do a brand new loom then resleeve a stock one again ?

In the go fast department motor is almost due back! Head will be finished this week coming and block should be the week after. Got bored and honed for new pistons last week and balanced rotating assembly this week. Waiting on spool to get more L19 rod bolts back in stock so we can get rod bearing clearances set.

Rod bolts and bearings ordered yesterday, engine builder is really busy atm and said should be all done by end of next week :) Also dropped my sump down to be painted black which should be ready in a couple of days.

I pulled my fuel pump out of the tank then decided to get a surge tank instead of modifying the stock hat. Ordered an AI SP1200. Will make it a lot easier if i have to put a 3rd pump in if we need more fuel. I'll be running hardline in boot and remove the factory lines to run twin 1/2" hardlines to engine bay then split the feed to twin -6 to feed the rail. Using these billet clamps to fix it to the body should look nice and semi stock.

Wiring is coming along pretty good! Finished sleeving the lot then forgot to bring the wires down for the crank trigger so ill have to pull it apart and do that then thats its for the loom! I hope... i didnt like the look of just heatshrink for finished product so got sum sleeving and came up 10x better! Looks a lot nicer now.

Yeah shes a big one hahah! It was making 910whp on a 2.8 GTR. Should get pretty close to my goal I think :D

Since the turbos black already I'm going to f**k the polished intake off and go black as well. Should come up nice ?

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
