Ok so long time between updates!

Went to the local cars and coffee and the skyline guys met up first, was surprised to see so many 32 GTR's in Hobart

Was ready to take the wrap off so did a photoshoot with a local Photographer who specializes in cars, Mrs got a big one framed for me :)16409803_1414013941942146_1002064289_o.thumb.jpg.8ddd8ddd878274bd8e2032870bceb132.jpg16252263_1407283092615231_2726634760782535675_o.thumb.jpg.b17f564a267a3d5c307c9446bda52599.jpg

And then the wrap came off!

Still kept the road trips up about the place.

More recently I got a set of GKTech adjustable arms for the rear, also got their new front upper arm but yet to fit.

I finally found a set of side skirts that I like, I never liked how the stock skirts are not all that much lower then the sills and the front bumper is alot lower, these are JSAI "TBO Style" and sit the same height as the front bumper lip, also got a pair of their rear pods. had to set up a temporary spray booth in one of my sheds, worked OK but still got alot of shit in the paint, miss my old booth.

Not had a chance to get out and get some good pics with the skirts/pods but here is one out front of the workshop

So I passed pits again and got the GTR registered in Tassy, so now I can start removing some of the standard parts.

Im running a Haltech which uses a mix of speed density/alpha N(TPS) which means I do not need the Air flow meters so decided to make some new stainless pipes and delete the MAF's

I do plan to do the intercooler to manifold pipe so it matches.

I also made up some new radiator mounts

But decided to try out another pair anodized in red. Think I like it much better and ties into the body color.

Ive also picked up a pair of near new -7's to replace the stock turbos so I can turn the boost up abit!  as well as some adjustable cam gears to dial in some more down low power. But I need to replace the clutch first as the current one already slips if you dump the clutch!

Think I need a better radiator also as it gets abit hot when going up hills and you can hear it boiling after I shut the engine down sometimes.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
