Well, after almost 3 months, tomorrow is the day, when the GTR comes home...for a bit. An extensive amount of work has been completed, marking another step in the cars evolution. Still a long way to go before it’s finished, but I’m happy that a lot of the ‘little things’ are now sorted. 
The car went on the dyno to sort out a boost creep/spike issue, it had a blend of 98 and e85 and was at about 15% ethanol content. It made 420 awkw on the rollers @20psi (gate pressure) and that’s wearing Toyo R888 tyres. 
looking forward to getting it back and taking it for a run.

Fantastic! And she looks great too!

Hey, any chance of a video of the dash working? A few keen beans on insta have asked.

No problem, I’ll get one up on the weekend

Yes, it’s really nice. Was good to drive the car again, forgot how bloody fast this thing is. Even on gate pressure running 98 the thing is an animal on the street. But you can feel the reduced power in the top end, but it’s really strong through the mid range. 
I found out the motec uses the wheel speed and rpm. The gear ratios have been entered in so it can determine what gear it’s in. Actually works really well.

Well this never ending build is finally moving forward. Car is going to the shop after GTR festival to have the motor removed, then it’s off to get the bay painted, then the new 2.7 stroker motor is going in. I’m also replacing the cooler to a Plazmaman 100mm comp spec and the entire hot side. Going a 6boost manifold with egt bungs for each cylinder and new turbo will be a Precession 6875. 
And while I’m there Pro wire will be making me a new custom engine loom and cleaning up all the other wiring in the bay. 
after this I’d like to think the bay is finished? If there is such a work in the GTR world 🤔

nice unit mate, hell of a read. that dash is wicked too

Cheers, it’s been a long road, with many ups and downs. Hopefully at some point I’ll get it to where I want it.

Ahh don’t get to caught up in the details mate. Don’t get me wrong you have done a job I couldn’t never do my engine is a hack compared to that lol. But it’s good to be content and enjoy what you have! Your car is wicked mate go bag the piss out of it. Cheers.

Well, I’m going back to a 2.6 based motor, just in the process of getting everything together, things getting re-furbished, coated or replaced with new where I can. Car is at the painters now, decided to paint the bay the colour of the car. Also sold my hotside so it’s being replaced with a 6 boost manifold and 68/75 turbo. I’ll also be running egt’s and getting a new engine harness . But one thing at a time 🤔

    • Did and sync timing with light 
    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
