Not much happening lately. Sold my turbo and bought a 7685. Found out that my old turbo was actually a 7175 not a 7675 like I thought. It did well considering it is only rated to 985hp O.O Bit worried about the the new turbo being a fair bit bigger now and also going from a 1.12 to a 1.28 rear housing. Hopefully the 3.4 with my converter still gets it onto boost ok. But it will definitely rid the motor of any restrictions now. Will chuck it on the dyno and see what she makes and most likely have to drive around on low boost to have any chance of hooking up ? Definitely need to sort out some suspension, diff gears and some 275s...

Not much happening lately just been chilling. Got my motor back few weeks ago with a couple upgrades on it. As you can see in the 3rd pic blocks now grouted for street use. Should strengthen her up a bit for when we try push close to 1200hp out of it. Just a bitta safety and peace of mind. Put in a -12 block breather to relieve crank case pressure to help let the oil drain down quicker and also stop my dipstick from being ziptied in ? 

I finally got it on the stand and started chipping away at everything I could do on it before head goes on. Just need to get some sealant and couple gaskets and the bottom end will be ready to go again.

Also borrowed some 275s off a mate and sorta managed to squeeze them in. They are very tight and I'm not sure if they'll clear once the tyre gets some heat into it. Along with some cheap adjustable coilovers I got so I can play around with ride heights with hopes to get it to distribute weight a bit better and get some more bite on the tyres.

Finally got a headgasket for the beast... Slapped it on on friday night. Then yesterday and today started bolting more stuff onto her to go back in. Finally got it all on today, pulled gearbox out and dropped the motor into position and got most of the wiring hooked up. 

Looks same same but different ? Need to get a few fittings for the new block breather and weld a bung onto the catch can for it. Need to make a catch can drain line so we can drain it easily when we're racing (hopefully blowby will be sorted now). 

Also need to weld on a new elbow on the turbo to match up to the cooler piping.

Ill be chipping away at it this week. I think ill get the box back in first then get everything else sorted after.

The beast will be ready to rumble this week (fingers crossed). Tried cranking for oil pressure yesterday but no go like last time. Had to start her up and got oil pressure straight away. Had a trigger error so ran a bit strange. Went over it today and I forgot to plug an earth in so no more trigger errors ? 

Found a leaking coolant adapter as well so need to replace that then good to go. 

Need to weld up new elbow off turbo and block breather fitting then chuck it on the dyno :D

Also picking up a 3.69 diff to swap gears into my housing which will sit me on nice highway rpm and should help spinning as well.

I own the fastest street turbocharged 2017 limited edition Toyota 86 with Enkei RPF-1, RS3's, Arc exhaust, K&N air filter,  tinted windows, cheapo SAAS boost gauge and a mad scratch on the lower right side of the front bar.

The competition is pretty tight in this class though, drug money budgets.

I'm talking Ford vs Ferrari budgets, well, the budget that Ford used for fire suppression anyway.....

So she's just about all done now. Had her on the dyno yesterday to run it in. Had a couple issues that we sorted out as well. Surge tank setup was melting one of the fuses. Got some info from AI and rewired how they said. Moved back to 30A fuses and haven't had any problems so far. We also had a trigger issue at around 5500rpm. Pulled cam trigger off and reset the airgap to 1.5mm and seemed to fix the issue which was good. First pull after the error he eased into the throttle and managed to punch out 780whp at 6500rpm.

With the bigger turbo and bigger rear housing the boost has gone up to 30psi on the gate now which is not ideal but oh well. Need to make it hook up now and it should be pretty quick.

Not a whole lot going on lately. I got my diff rebuilt with 3.69 gears. Has brought my rpm at 100km/h down to 3000rpm. She's hooking a lot harder now as well with the suspension and diff ratio change. Had 37psi in her from 6250rpm at rolls. 

I also changed up my surge tank wiring and put in relays with inline fuse holders. The old relay/fuse combo would get very hot and I think it was creating more resistance in the circuit causing the fuse to blow. Went out to rolls and seems to be all working fine now.

Having problems with the catch can now she's spewin a bit of oil out into the current can. Plan is to relocate the factory fuse box and make a bigger can to fill that area. Will also integrate a washer bottle into it as well. I am also going to get a bigger sump made up by ASR. I think with the power of the car and g forces we definitely need to go to a better baffling/trap door setup along with their custom pickup. 

I will be setting up the sump for the current -10 head drain and also will be adding a -12 fitting for a sump breather to also run to the catch can. That will total 2x -12 from block/sump for crankcase pressure ventilation and then 2x -12 from the cam covers. Hoping that should stop or atleast help my oil escaping and also relieving the drains in the head to flow more efficiently. 

Heres a few pics and couple vids from last rolls.

So the ASR sump is probably a week or 2 away now. Slightly changed the fitting setup. Am now going 2x -12s on intake side to catch can and then I'll be running the head drain back to the exhaust side. This should be able to release all the crank case pressure now and hopefully stop filling the can. 

I pulled my box out last week gotta take it to my builder and get him to fix the leak on it. Finally wired up my speed sensor from the diff. Unfortately we can't make the stock cluster work with it so I'll have to wait until I get a digital dash to have a working speedo but atleast we can setup boost/speed now. Decided to finally wire up my reverse lights onto the transbrake too, will give me some light now when I'm reversing and let people know I am. Also removed my fuse box and coolant overflow bottle and measured up for the new catch can. Couple little changes to do then ill get it cut and bent up. 

I also got defected last monday when I was going to take the car down to the shop.... Got done for exhaust tyres and no mod plates. I got the car mod plated now, just need to put my 18s on when im driving around. Might have to put mickeys in the back of the car when I go racing. Don't really have a lot of options exhaust wise. I wanted to put a varex in previously because its loud on the highway and when im cruising around and getting home late at night. The cop tested my exhaust, was 95dB at idle and 112dB at 4800rpm. 

Im also going to see if they get plumb both screamers into the dump but make them removable like my old setup was. 

Car should hopefully be all finish in the next few weeks and then we'll get her on the hub and ready to send down the strip in winter ?

ASR sump turned up on Friday. Pulled motor out saturday and got it on. Really nice piece of kit. Changed head drain to turbo side. Waiting on catch can to be finished so we can make up lines to the sump. 

We ran into a little problem with clearance with the sway bar. We will have to space the sway bar down maybe 15-20mm so we can still retain it.

Been back in brissy with this whole corona thing going on atm so thought it's a good time to get some stuff done on the car. 

Got all the stuff for the catch can and cut it all to suit. Still have a little bit of trimming to do on some corners and things to get it perfect but so far so good. I have marked up where the holes are going for the weld ons. Just need to cut them out now and we'll probably weld them from the inside keep it looking a bit cleaner. Will have to go get a few fittings and stuff to make up the new lines for breathers.

Also got cracking on my fuse box relocation. Getting there just 2 more relays to wire up from the factory harness which is horn and foglights. Then just wire up transbrake and auto cooler fan. 

Still waiting on box to come back hopefully ready this week coming.

awesome build, are you still running the R33 rear end? or did you change?

what was your best 60ft with the R33 axles?

Thanks mate. Yeah still on factory rear end. Have got a Nismo 1.5 way in there with 3.69 gears now. Havent done a hit with the new setup but previous setup I did a 1.642. I'm sure with the new setup I'll definitely break one at the strip. But for street stuff its been fine so far. 

 

Got the catch can welded up today. Fits in there nicely ? Tomorrow I've gotta make up some brackets to hold it in place and pick up some fittings and also a weld on drain and get her finished up. Should look pretty hectic with 5 lines coming to it ? I'll get it powdercoated once its all done as well to match the plenum and turbo.

Also got new stickers yesterday so wacked one on to see how she looks. Came up alright. If I get some time tomorrow we'll slap the other side on too. 

Box should be finished later this week, hopefully have some time over the weekend and we'll get her back in and running.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
