Funny how life happens and projects get the back burner and then the fire gets lit. 
I now have a Cast forward Facing plenum and lq9 coil packs. I got the car to fire but it ran terribly. Would idle around 13.5 afr then go to 11.5-10.5 and choke. Swapped around coils and even got some known working ones off a friends r32 which seemed to help but I wasn’t convinced the igniter wasn’t bad or Ecu was the issue. Since I’m running all aftermarket parts figured spark upgrade was needed.

I also found a mess with how the shop build by the original owner of the swap had made of the harness and wiring. I wish we had skylines in junk yards here because the loom may need replacing.

If you have a spark issue wideband will go lean.

Good info, one would think the lack of spark but still having fuel would make it go rich. Car has nistune but I’m not convinced the ecu isn’t damaged from sitting for 6 years out in the elements from condensation. We get a lot of rain here.

It is counter intuitive, but not having combustion take place means there is heaps of o2 left over, rather than most of it being used up from the burning of fuel. I’m sure someone can explain that better!

    • The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change
    • I was at Tunehouse in Marrickville (great team over there really know their VR's) , and I spotted this Very clean R35.  
    • Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down. 
    • The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
