i am curious about my 6boost manifold i thought they were ceramic coated. turns out its not. you guys think its worth taking it back off and have it ceramic coated.......

 

funny this was mentioned my mate just melted his engine harness from to much heat by the wastegate. i ran my wiring in my fender so should be good to go that way.

Be better off making a heat shield IMO. Don’t worry about the expensive paint job, it does sweet FA.

ok thanks mate save me from pulling it apart. we got the catch can and a few other things finished tonight and got fluid in the car. download some maps tomoro and start it. cheers

 

im starting to kick myself for getting a platinum pro and not an elite 2500 at this point....oh well i guess ill use what i got for now. i highly recommend going straight an elite, i dont even know why people bother with the platinum series.

bought it before i even upgraded my twins back in the day. so its just what i have and will definitely work still. if i was an endless money pit i would upgrade again but at this point just gotta get it runnning.

 

 

was still easy to set up the wb1, 4bar map sensor, haltec iat, flex fuel, couple other sensors,  all through the platinum. it is going to work just fine for now. i had to get a upgrade to run 1 to 4 can ports to run the haltech screen and the wb1 through the same system. other than that for a street setup i think im good to go.

 

  • 2 weeks later...

Finished getting rid of all the hicas crap and welded a 8an on remaining line from rack. Will run it to the reservoir i made(still need a bracket) and will finally be able to start this thing.  Got the wide band figured out to the haltech it’s almost go time!

I have hit a snag I feel like I don’t have this setup right. The directions don’t even have the pigtail out the back like on my wb1 can sensor they sent so the directions make no sense. Need help finishing this up, I have ordered the can box extension if that’s what I need to get this setup, I ordered it so I can run the haltech screen as well as to my understanding I needed it to run more than one can device with the platinum series versus the elite

Finally got all this figured out for the haltech to power all my shinanigans. Learning way more and finding out the last 10 percent of putting the car together is more like the last 30 percent haha. Getting her done tho slowly but surely. Family life comes first cheers mates

FYI when making brackets like these for your battery get some fuel tank straps and line them(semi shop will have them made from rubber) because you will accidently ground your positive and negative together(hence why my posts are taped because i shorted my brand new battery for half second and learnt the hard way.) cheers

Another night of hammering down on some fab work. I hired a new welder for the shop he’s only 25 and can throw it down. Anything needed he’s done quick with a great attitude I couldn’t be happier.

When your welder runs out of argon on a Saturday in the middle of tree cuttin job! Shift that argon ten speed right back to the shop then full send back to the job site! Catch cans looking deadly this kid can fricken weld.

Well today was the day Just gotta tune her tunes up now. Thanks to Ben (bk) helped me a lot through this, and a bunch of my friends. Was great to see everyone come together to get this car complete. I have learnt many lessons through this experience. Cheers mates. More to come.

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
