Picked up this bad boy over the weekend! 

Definitely sounds a lot better, just need one of Scott's front pipes now and the exhaust side of thing is sorted.

Lovely.

Having a PNM35, I have occasionally dreamed of having two of those rear mufflers. Don't know if they would fit on the driver side due to spare wheel well though.

Any chance of giving a height, width, depth measurement of the drum (don't worry about the tips) for me?

Two muffler's would look boss, please do it!

I do hope your Hypergear lasts, it's not a job I like doing twice...

 

By the way, the Intense RS is an extremely responsive billet ceramic ball bearing turbo, contrary to Tao's bullcrap above. A lot less shaft play in the bearing too. I have some great video's to show, but didn't want to ruin the poor guy. Let me just say clearances matter. *shakes head* 

 

Scotty the old m35 turbocharger developed with u was a total disaster much to do with your Bunnings mod. looks like u have dogged away from internet for good no. of months. No need dumping shit bucks selling your offers.

Our latest development in M35 system still stands both power and response over yours. While Im a year ahead into rolling out m35 ceramic ball bearings systems when u r only making a start, Plus your re-shafted OEM cores aren't better then a Brand new Garrett.  let time and results speak for them selves. 

 

Now now guys play it nice... I'm gonna stay out of this one, time will be the judge.

Anyway Tao the turbos at your P.o box today I noticed.

Got any front pipes with cats made up yet Scotty? My dump pipes feeling lonely without boys counterpart.

Without out it's counterpart* bloody auto correct.

Anyways, whilst the cars off the road I thought I'd tidy up the engine bay a bit and do some painting, gotta love wrinkle coat :17_heart_eyes:IMG_3075.JPG

Also got these delivered today and gave them a good scrub, got them for a sweet deal just need pads and rotors. Well they were cheap until i knocked one over on my brand new iphone 7 and smashed the hell out of the screen, thats gonna be costly :(.

Now to decide what colour to paint them..

Been a few months since my last post but I got the turbo back in the car a lot easier than I anticipated and have since put a few thousand Ks on it. Definitely has a bit more go on the fast pedal and no more Dyson vacuum noise thank god. Pretty stoked with how the wrinkle coat came out as well as the overall tidy up of the engine bay. Would have been nice to go with Tao's bigger turbo but considering this is just a daily i'm trying to avoid getting to carried away.

Also got the R34 calipers on the car along with some QFM HPX pads and DBA T3 rotors. This is by far the biggest improvement on the car so far considering how woffle the stock brakes are on these things, wouldn't mind swapping out the mastercylinder in the future to make them feel a bit more touchy but for now im very happy with the improvement.

Bit of a picture spam tonight but I also added a HDI inter-cooler while I had the car apart. Cant recommend the kit enough especially for the price, everything bolted and fitted up perfect. I'd recommend changing the rubber joiner in front of the throttle body as seen in my last post, mine was all hard and deteriorated and i'd imagine most others would be in similar condition.

Yeah there's a bit of a trick to getting it consistent, there's a post on here somewhere where someone went into detail coating some RB26 covers which is good for some pointers. A heat gun is a must imo.

As for the T3 slotted cant remember exactly how much they cost, my missus works for an auto parts store that stocks them so I got them for half price luckily.

Is there a correct procedure of doing to wrinkle paint? 

Also what's the cost of the T3 slotted, need to change mine soon i think.

 

Cheers

The surface needs to be roughed up, Scotchbrite pads are good but sandblasting works the best.
Wipe the whole part down with thinners or the like so the paint will stick.
A heat gun is a bad idea to try make crinkle as it makes the paint really tacky, What I have found works best is a fan blowing over it or putting it in front of an air con on heat around 24deg to dry it, but also develop a consistent crinkle effect.
Bake the part in the oven to cure it but beware as it stinks when proper heat gets into it.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
