Looks like I've got a VG20DET turbo coming, its a mild upgrade for the old RB20 - bigger than an RB20DET turbo, a little smaller than an RB25DET one.

If I can finalise my campus loan soon it might get more interesting, lol.

I have just gone for a Garrett GT30/40

Won't go in the car until about August (Tax return time :P)

With S/S High Mount

Probably a Tial Wastegate

Get it tuned at pro and see how the injectors hold up.

Predictions of approx 250 at the wheels on 14-15 psi.

Should be fun in a HR31

Bit quiet on the home front eh? Well I should be recieving a new front driveshaft for my gts4, cant wait to get back in amongst it :laugh:

Although, had a bad day yesterday - came back to my car and some jerk had dinged it, on the good side too - previosly some filthy criminal tried to nick the wing with a screwdriver. The disrespect just makes me mad, we spend so much time and effort on our machines and then these little -Grr, insert profanity- decide that they would like to ruin something that isnt thiers. Bring back national service I say, ship the little buggers to Iraq.

Sorry for the rant (again) just a bit sick of this sort of shite.

The Passage GT will be getting dyno tuned soon... Would love to see some good results, keep all the R31 boys smiling. I'll leave it alone for a while once this is done, its taken me long enough :laugh: Just mild upgrade for the little 2 litre, rb25 turbo, malpassi fuel reg, Trust 3" exhaust, apexi avcr, apexi safc 2, mines ecu, still on the *cough*factory intercooler*cough* hopefully will be around 160+rwkw once tuned on mild boost setting.

Have just done my timing belt, water pump, tensioner and idler bearings, painted my timing belt cover :( and just fitted an R34 turbo (28,000km's) last night...

I will be fitting my GTR injectors and getting a Dump/Front pipe and a Z32 AFM very soon... (The will get it retuned by Dr Drift).

Also going to do a plug and oil change... think this stuff is too thick.

Hay Todd Just got the same parts for my R32, Rebuilt R34 Turbo 550cc Sards Z32 AFM Tomie cams and gears, Taking my car over to sams on the boat this week end to get are tune , I can not wait, keep you posted on how it go’s

Cheers Raymond

sweet dude! can't wait to find out!!

I am hoping for / expecting around 180-190rwkw...

I just got a new dump pipe from xrated so will be fitting that tomorrow! Now I just need to get the AFM and injector resistor pack!

I am going to wait for sam to come back down though, worth the wait to save the $$... would even be cheper to use someone elses dyno and pay for his flight! :dry:

Well my car was stolen last saturday night and they did some damage in the process.

I was lucky that they only got 100 odd metres down the road before being chased off by mr plod.

But the 2 damaged locks, the broken ignition barrel, broken rear quarter window and some other bits and piece's put the rebuild even further behind than what i was.

Have spoken to a certain Dr that is going to look into a new motor package for me which should see me back out and about (just have to come up with the cash) and also get that certain Dr behind the wheel at the next DrifTas event.

So i'll be hunting down some parts and also calling in a few favours in the next couple of months so i can hear that sweet sweet sound of limiter and gate :D

Other than that im looking for a job so if anyone can help me out let me know :D

Cheers GMB

what kind of work are you after B?

Sux to hear about the car, I hope (as I am sure you do too) to see it on the road soon!

I send the D.O.C and email but didn't get a reply yet! Am I right when I hear he may be back down soon and could possibly do a tune or two?

oh, and I just fitted an aftermarket dump pipe to my car tonight!! (ordered it off Justin 'XRATED')

goes well but won't be able to feel the full potential of it until I get new coils (sh*ts itself past 4g's!)

ANYTHING really mate.

something that will pay the bills and i wont want to shoot myself out of bordem at the end of the day :D

Sam and Nick are flat out at the moment with a fair bit on.

Sam is planning on coming back down but not 100% sure about the dyno as yet.

Chance's of using another dyno are pretty slim after talking to a few poeple.

But both DrifTas and i belive Kamikaze are looking at doing something with Sam.

Either way there will be another tuning weekend in the next few months :D

Cheers GMB

Ha, well you won't want anything at my work if you don't want to have to shoot yourself... admin work is pretty boaring and the IT dept it all full :) getting sick of that too though! (there could be an opening soonish... shhhhhh ;) )

I can't wait for a retune!!!! All I need now are coilpacks, AFM and injector resistor pack!

Well after the car was stolen i have it home and have started to clean up the mess.

I need to get a few things (new locks and rear 1/4 and fix the ignition barrel) and pull the flat battery out charge so i have a working alarm again!!!

Once i clean everything up i will start pulling everything off/out to get ready for a new motor.

Then comes the decision to keep the car or sell and start with something else (new bike :()

I will have a few things for sale again mostly to suit R32 but will have both my turbo's and my new 2 way up for grabs as well.

Cheers GMB

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
