hey all

currently in the middle of doing up my R32gtst

Im not after a car that will be 1million kws (thats what my track cars for), what i am looking for is an engine bay that is show car clean and tidy.

Im after some inspiration of what i can do, move or remove.

So far ive moved the battery to the boot, moved the fuse box under the guard, looking to move the break lines around, im thinking of moving the washer bottle and over flow but may just get items made instead. Have also cleaned a heap of holes up and currently filling seam joins etc. but its hard no i have the engine removed to see what i could have done!

any pics of clean bays? and other ideas to move / remove stuff from the bay...

Mines track car yes but not full hetik on the engine bay and relatively clean, you might see something there you think might suit

battery moved 

canisters on the right near the intake for coolant overflow and p/s fluid

brake lines are braided yes - one still runs across top

neat wiring loom and tucking it away is key

Mine is a jack of all trades master of none. It's a bit old school by today's standards but I did start the engine bay "transformation" about 17-18 years ago!

The LED light is very old school rice spec but I only added it as a temporary idea for static displays. 20190210_150846.jpegScreenshot_20190210-132511_Gallery.jpeg

......Bring back the 00's I say - neon everything!
It certainly isn't on trend, black is the new black these days, but I've never been one to follow trends.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
