GMB - I have Steve Caplice engineering the car, and I have an sr20de to drop in, I would like to go turbo, but on a bit of a budget, I might strap on a turbo later on for power to weight ratios around Ferarri territory :P

Anyway, I just picked up a steering rack from Todd, which lines up very nicely, and hopefully picking up a pair of hubs from Damo tomorrow - if he hasnt fogotten me and tells me where from - hint, hint :P

Trailers, mmm I think we will build one, see exact costing and go from there. I only want a very very basic one. No tyre rack etc. Will be around end of the year I reckon before we look at building on

well a big update for me.

surge tank and fuel system is in and running. oil cooler fitted. 25mm spacers and guard flaring done. injectors in and working. power FC in, modified and running. basicly only heaps of very minor jobs to do and its all finished.

i took it for a quick spin around the yard :D and i think it will be ok. haha.

How good are the guards though!!!!!! I have NEVER seen a set of guards rolled and flared so well, it's just a shame the rest of the work on the car isn't quite at that high standard.

Definatly in good hands ;)

But I can sympathise with you tho - sometimes parts just seem to fall out of the sky, other times... well

I am thinking the car will mostly be for weekend blats around back roads, but definatly a few hillclimbs, sprints and track days - Hopefully giving you skyline boys a run for your money :)

Tell me about it, all i need to do is borrow one for about an hour and then i can progress.

Looks like i will be doing other things over the weekend now instead of working on the car ;)

hasn't your car been off the rd for almost 2yrs now glover?? what's going on with it?

Pretty close to its 2nd Birthday yeah :D

The car is ready but experiencing a few little electrical problems stopping me at the moment. Just waiting to get some coin together to get someone to look at it then hopefully turn the key so its running then tidy everything up, install parts and tune.

Busy this weekend with a wedding but *touch wood* i can get someone to look at it next week and have it running :)

My FMIC & Coilovers arrived from GReddy Japan finally and are getting fitted on my R34 GTR tomorrow! I'm soooooo excited!

Still searching for a nice carbon fibre bonnet, some ganadors will be going on soon too I think, a few other little things, clear indicators etc then new Deeeeeeeep Dish rims (My R34 GTR Rims will be for sale!) and then on to some internal work and making my final decision on what turbo/turbos to run....

So exciting :D

Going to remove the starter motor and bench test it to make 100% sure its ok then just go over all the wiring again.

I will be calling on Pimping Kustoms to do my gauges though :(

      Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
