Nothing better than a present at work. 2x Nismo GT Pro 1.5 way LSDs. 
 

Want to thank JHH for their help with this one. Specially Will. Honest advice from past experience. 
 

now these can go in the sump, sump on the engine, engine in the car, some fabbing, some tuning and maybe I’ll see this thing this year yet.

Hello. So had a few things happen since the last update. Diffs are now installed. Gearbox, clutch and engine are all together and in the car. Did a test fit on the Turbo. Looked amazing but has shown that a few lines will need to be relocated. 
 

still need to install all the wiring and EGT.  Install fuel system. Connect all of the oil and water lines. Fab intercooler pipework and exhaust  

 

then fire it up tune, run in and retune

Hello. Things seem to be moving in the right direction. Diffs are in, sump is on obviously. Timing belt is on and cams are set to “0”.
 

now it’s fabrication time. Intercooler piping. Exhaust. Oil/water/fuel lines and the last of the electrical hookup.
 

I’m hoping to see it on the road in the next couple of months.

Hello. 
 

another stage completed. Cold side pipework is done. Exhaust should be finished today. 
 

need to ceramic coat exhaust manifold. Install EGTs. Finish fuel lines and we are at start up and tune. 
 

might see it for my birthday next month.

Manifold has been sent off for ceramic coating. No ETA.
 

In the mean time I have placed a deposit on a pair of 1600hp rated rear CV from Crank Motorsport. Should be here in September. 
 

also bought a single piece AlphaOmega 2000hp aluminium tail shaft. That one should be here next week. Apparently it’s about half the weight and makes quite a significant difference in engine response. 
 

that should be the driveline all sorted.

Hello. Well it’s been an up and down few weeks. Everything was going well. Parts arriving and fitting (always a bonus). Ran into an issue with the clutch booster. JUN intake GT plenum is huge. We got the boost delete kit and it was still touching. So that’s getting machined but it’s not a huge issue.
 

tail-shaft arrived after we genuinely thought it was lost in transit. That was very nice. Then things turned very frustrating. We got to the part where we were hours away from starting the car only to find that the fuel rail had 11mm holes and my injectors are 14mm. So now we are waiting for a new one. But it will be purple this time to match the rest of the dress up colour scheme. 
 

baring any further issues, car should be started next week. Then it’s getting it engineered and licensed. Might even get to do some running in before a leave for Japan. Will be going to Osaka and Tokyo. Won’t have too much time to my self but I will visit some workshops. JUN is definitely on the cards.

    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
