This is a running joke with my mates actually, that I'm a drifter. 

I hate flat brim caps, not a fan of drifting/drifters and at the last event I did a little slide and managed to not f**k it up so now I'm a drifter apparently lol

The drifting community, the bad elements, ruined a lot of what was good about the JDM "scene" if you want to call it that. Also gutted the prices for cars/parts (good and bad depending if you're buying/selling) and was far too representative of the dumbass yolo concept. 

I've found some of them are OK, and funnily enough the ones that are usually grip drive also. 

I do love me some rice, but I'm fairly anti drift/drifters. It's the only "motorsport" that's judged by anything other than measurable numbers. I fully admit there's lots of skill in doing it well and that I do not have, nor will ever have, nor want, that skill, but I can appreciate it when I see it. 

 

 

A mate of mine is 1st in line to buy it, but honestly, I only "lose" what I've spent on it if I sell it so I might as well just keep enjoying the R&D that's gone into it. 

I'd say the GT-R will be sold before this.

Been slowly making progress.

Borrowed guard roller and lined up panel beater for this weekend.

Come across a near new GTX2860R, only a Kinugawa. Would have preferred 2863 but this was half price. Has a T3 vband rear on it so if anyone wants to swap me for a T2 standard 5 bolt housing let me know.

Been looking at WMI as well, blame DosePipe for that. I don't wanna move the Silvia to e85 and WMI will get me most of the result while not needing to change my fuel setup beyond a small bump in injectors to support the bigger turbo.

Wouldn't mind building a setup but don't see how you save much on the average kit costs. Thoughts welcome.

Did consider I could've bought a 2863 for the price of WMI and 2860 but I wouldn't get the benefit of the additional timing or cooler temps.

See how I go on the WMI front, still on the fence.

Still meaning to buy a helmet and Hans but bought turbo instead... Woops!

Buy in a complete water injection kit.  Will save a LOT of hunting around for the right bits.  Yes the benefits are there to be had, and they're worth taking.

HANS should probably have taken a higher priority in the purchases stakes, but there's nothing to stop you getting a setup before taking this thing for its next run.

Yeah will still get a Hans, especially with this huge turbo upgrade that might see me into the low 200rwkw range lol

Not rolling the guards is a back saving measure. I'm off to the specialist in October to see what we can do there. 

Rolling guards was not in my best interest and for $150, worth saving a few hours of my weekend :D

We'll illness ruined plans this weekend.

Neighbour is sick so he won't be doing guards.

I've come down with what the girls had, so happy father's day to me.

Got a the EBC in yesterday before I got hit. Very simple install.

Not hooked up to wastegate actuator yet as I'm planning on going external with the new turbo.

Guard rolling was a fail, need to go too far out. 

Looking at something slimline like this, unless someone has a better 20-25mm or so option that doesn't require a full quarter replacement.

Turbo here this week, but no rush on fitting as i wanna get tyres on and go do laps. 

 

Get around china's finest. 

Ordered some of those 30mm flares. Long wait for them though, couldn't find anything locally. 

Tinkering away on the some other bits and pieces.

Just a 60, it was half price and new so couldn't pass it up given I almost never see any gtx stuff second hand, let alone new fit second hand prices.

I need to deal the rear housing as its T3 and v band.

So if anyone has a T2 .64 standard 5 bolt dump let me know.

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
