Good work Brad, things are looking good!!

I deal with workshops that are actually going to do the job, only way of quality control.

I know I may of mentioned this before but Greg from Proengines (username: proengines) does some excellent work. He has always been honest, reliable and he even does the followup after the job is done!!

Anyway shims are not too bad to sort out, even when you think you ordered the right sizes they do at times need adjusting, just time consuming stuff but easy.

Merry christmas to all!!

PS. I know your running the Autronic SMC with Autronics CDI, what coils are you running?

Just finished my CDI install - Autronics SMC , now with Autronics CDI & running 6 x Mercury Outboard Coils.

msd coil packs im using

and the shims are easy to sort out but the fact they are wrong and i pay a shop to sort it and i get the wrong gear supplied, just frustrating after the 6 month wait for machining and i thought i could finish the whole engine this weekend, or this next week and now i gotta source more shims between boxing day and new years which i doubt will be enough time.

i just want it running dammit :)

proengines (greg) has been very helpful online with my queries, and if i did it all again i'd use him for the machining and stuff rather than these local "gurus"

Brad, if you run into any problems with the CDI unit, I set mine up all myself. I had to even solder a chip into the SMC ECU but you won't have to do this as I had dwell chips to control ignition before. The Ign output are incorrect on the installation instructions - cost me 4 days of pulling my hair out to sort it out.

Can't wait for you to get this all together and started!!

nice. did you polish the plenum yourself? it looks very nice :starwars:

yep polished it at home on the buffer (my old mans the polishing guru), its a pain in the arse and a messy job but looks sooo much better than tacky painted stuff everywhere.

ive polished the plenum, throttle bodies, alternator, intercooler piping, rocker covers, centre coil covers, timing cover, CAS, catch can, and a few other bits and pieces.

if i had to do it myself i dont think i'd have the patience, but when its free and done by someone else its well worth it :lol:

all the bits where polished 3 years ago now when i first had the rb26 in the VL calais. so they stay pretty clean, except they need an occasional buff over it all to get greasy fingerprints off, and show the mirror finish again.

Just looking over everything - would it not be a good idea to ceramic coat the exhast manifold and perhaps the exhaust housing of the turbo while everything was out and easy to get to?

hey guys, finally got the engine in today and 99% of the stuff is hooked up so not long to go :(

just got i/c piping mods and exhuast to be done to the cat. couple of other bits and pieces, but mostly ready to go

heres a pic i took earlier today, not long now :)

we had to spin the comp cover to face the passenger side gaurd to get the 3" cooler piping to fit, as we initially had it pointing down towards the chassis rail.

i havent crawled and fiddled under a car and in the engine bay for over 6-7 months now and god damn its a pain in the arse, as everything is soo hard to get too compared to sitting on an engine stand :)

few weeks and she will be ready for the run in tune and then after the run in is done, some power figures on the dyno :) i've told my tuner i want 500-550rwhp max at the moment as i gotta save the gtr gearbox from breaking for as long as possible (till i get some more cash for upgrade), and tuner said i'll need around 17-18psi for 500rwhp which is pretty low boost and then when i get that nice gearbox ill wind it right up and hoping for as close to 700rwhp as i can get (and push the t04z to its limit).

only time will tell, and im bound to have a few hiccups along the way as usual B)

cheers

Brad

      I'd be worried about having to parallel park a boat like that. Magnificent car though.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking

      Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
