So he is back at home in one piece (if you dont count tyre rubber falling off). After 3 months bouncing from shop to shop to shop we have him settled down and asleep now.

i didn’t get to show you guys the new diff cover so here it is

great bit of kit from greddy holds just under 2.5l of oil so it should make the diffs last a little longer. This time I went for a 4.3 nismo 2way still have the 4.1 nismo 2way there for a spare. Car wasn’t built to do 300kph but more like 250kph on a race track just means that I’m pulling 3300rpm at 100-110kph but for the acceleration that it has gained should lower my 1/4 mile times over running a 3.9.

Now to the numbers part that everyone wants.

So as you can see low boost well not really low boost but waste gate pressure at 14.5psi the car makes 375wkw and a crap load of torque not like the old low of 398wkw but feels a lot faster off the line and to a speed.

High boost tho 467wkw is massive and I haven’t even been tempted to flick the switch yet. Conditions will have to be 110% for me to hot that power as the old one was only 444wkw but this power comes on 500rpm faster with the help of the new exhaust and still goes all the way to redline but does die off a little bit that’s due to the 12cm rear housings on the HX40rs yes a 40 with a 12 on it. It’s a mse turbos custom to suit my cams and exhaust mani and the way I wanted to make power this will be changed at a later date for a 16cm rear to see what it can make on pump.

Power at the engine is pretty bloody good to. So Queation can I tell people it’s a 500kw car now?

We also go a new style of launch control. We have a button on the steering wheel that when pressed at a given rpm will move the rev limiter to that set rpm. So, if I rev the car up to 5500rpm and press and hold the button, it will move my limit to 5500, as long as the button is pressed the car won’t rev pass set rpm but can still rev freely from 1000-5500. Makes launching the car 100000 times better as when you dump the clutch you can leave your finger on until traction is made then release and you should be off. On that note is you set it to 3000rpm it will still build boost. Will take from videos tomorrow so you all can see it in action.

Apart from that still waiting for parts to arrive but have been cleaning him for the last 4hrs as it was long over due and more cleaning to be had tomorrow.

Just found this, nice to see a Kiwi build - very solid power delivery.  Couldn't find any detail of the engine, guessing its some kind of RB30/25 setup?  

 

Some kinda of 30/25 hahaha no way man this is 25/25 matching heads and motor from factory.  Secrets are in the build haha.  Nothing crazy here just making sure each part helps the next part. I do have a full list some where in my draws

Wow, no need to talk like I'm an idiot - I was kinda trying to set up to be complimentary if it was an RB25, it wasn't inconveivable that it would be an RB25 - but it was getting into the area of some RB30 results I've seen which is why I asked for confirmation.  Definitely combo is working well, one of the best RB25 results I've seen and probably the best I've seen in terms of power delivery using an HX40... nice work.

Wasn’t talking to you like an idiot. If it came across that way I’m sorry. 

Still got a lot of room to breath with the hx40, it’s still running a 12cm rear from a 35/2, once the 16cm rear comes in we will swap the 2 over and go again. COVID has put this car so far behind its a little frustrating. MSE turbos hasn’t had any gear turn up so there is no point changing the injectors for nothing’s. Turbo was only ment for 600bhp and we have pushing 100 passed that

So been busy making the house pretty and in turn I’m allowed to spend money on the car.

Mirrors turned up and as did the door cards.

There sitting on a Advan racing 15x8.25 with a 20offset. No spacer behind them. There only 1/2 inch off the rolling diameter of my 18s I run.

real happy with Sit in the flares real nice

Chrome was an epic weekend got my first couple runs on Hoosiers, it was only roll racing but it was good to get a feel for them before I hit the strip with them. Those that have used them it’s an uneasy feeling having the rear of the car kind of float down the track but was told just to keep it flat and just go with it.

 

Friday and Sunday where the only days that the track was hot enough for me to be able to use high boost and holy heck 620hp it just so much fun but the 123s in 265 real struggle to hold the power down so going to look at a custom set of work rims to suit the rear ended and make the most of the guard room I have.

Drag racing is well fingers crossed starting up in 6weeks so I have time to get it set and ready to run a 10. Car will run an easy 11 as I was doing 12.3 on semi slicks.

 

Hope everyone is keeping safe

So yesterday was the first meeting of the comp session. First time running quick time pros.

Was so much fun and had a ball going to head back in 2 weeks and try and go faster

As you can tell I have a lot to learn in how to get the car off the line but that should come with more seat time. But over all super super happy with how the car ran. Huge bonus was running and 11.7 straight off the trailer in low boost then hitting it back with a 11.3 so even on low boost it was 10s in it.

Cant wait to get back out there

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
