Here are 2x teaser photos for now.

Has a BOV, said no one ever :D

 

Change your username to BOV Psssssssssssssssssssssssht then :D

Dose pipe installed, should dose pretty good :)

Last night, connected up all of the harness, re-pinned the CAS connector, and installed a new VCT plug to suit the R34 NEO head.

Next big challenge is to make all the oil lines for the oil relocator and oil cooler.

Overnight parts from Australia. This should help me blow the gear box faster!

It already grinds 2nd, 3rd, 4th and the input shaft has heaps of free play.

Throw some redline lightweight shockproof in her and she will be alright

might have to till the box goes boom lol...

from there, well I am not sure.. these are my options:

  • New OEM Box, use it till it goes boom again
  • CD009 Conversion
  • PPG helical set

Started it on 14 month E85 lol... (dw cuz, has ethanol stabiliser in it)

Primed the oil first till it dribbled out of the relocator, plugged in the CAS and to my surprise it actually fired! I roughly rescaled the injectors on my old map and flattened out the timing as I now have no idea where peak torque would/could be made on this motor.

As of last night (after the car starting) all fluids are topped up and will take it for a light spin tonight. I've filled up the entire tank with 44L of 98RON, so might take it for a lap tonight and dump the oil before I start to push it a bit :)

Close to it so many times, believe me.

However if someone walked up right now and asked to trade for a N55 335i I would swap straight up.

    • It's almost certainly a reluctor generating an "AC" waveform. No, ECUs don't generally read those - they're usually set up for PWM square wave 0-5v stuff.
    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.
