Hey guys I've been watching and studying for sometime but i still don't have the answer so i thought i'd ask and hopfully with enough expertise out there you can help illustrate what might be an approporiate start.

I'm importing an GTR 33 (though Imports101 in WA nissans especially R33 compliance is so easy for them ) with the titled parts (T88H 34D with Tomei 2.7 kit) I mean plus the needed support bits (oil cooler, big intercooler, 1000ccs, surge tank and multiple fuel pumps etc) probably cross mission too.

But when it gets here I'm not sure what work must be done when buying a second hand beast (by this i mean highly modified). It's supposed to be running 800-1000hp but we all know about hp figures hehe. I have already ordered a custom (JUN copied with bolstered ram shaft) plenum.

My understanding would be

1. Check stoker kit, shot peen crank?, change conrod bolts?, balance conrods, polish pistons?

2. check dump pipe for hughness, exhaust etc

3. Check T88 maybe high flow turbo?

4. what else? :starwars:

Please keep in mind budget so some sort of order of what to do would be cool, I'm juiced to get this because this time last year I almost bought a JUN 2.7 R34 but missed it.

If you wold like a look http://www.centralmotor.net/web/detail.php?num=152

So do i check everything or just some things if so what is an absolute must, to be checked what is something that can wait or isn't too important?

Darryl

PS outcome is daily drive drag/street car

Congrats on the buy dude, sounds like a bit of an animal..

as for what to do, well, engine wise you shouldn't have to do anything, to get the extra stroke you need a different crank <usualy> so id peg that the motor already has a billet crack, rods and pistons, big cams, and probable a hoard of other fruit internally to support the power...

however, if your paranoid, and i know i personally would be, id be pulling the motor out, and stripping it down to check everything to make sure its in good working order, and giving it a new set of rings and bearings, depending on how long its been together for, unless you can get accurate info from the guys in japan about it, it'll save the not knowing factor...

as for everything else, personally id leave it alone, and id just look about getting it re-tuned for australian fuel, thatd be priority number one once your sure about the quality of the internals, then you will see what it can do, and if you need to touch anything to get more out of it...

Looks good, i dont like the mission your gonna have of getting it complianced tho...

It would be a good idea to rip the motor down and have a look at everything and see whats going on internally and to give it a freshen up.

Sometimes te cars are meant to be "internally" modded but when they get here and pop you find out they werent.

leave the plenum, no need to change that

High flow a T88-34D

Good son of rajab dude... You certainly dont wanna be doing that!

I'd personally be changing the turbo if you wanna have some street use.

Something like a HKS T04Z... they seem to be doing amazing things and would make a super streeter.

For more info in T04Z - use the search button as there is a great thread on it all.

No need to pull the engine.

Do a leak down test, that will tell you what sort of condition the pistons, rings, bores, valves, head gasket etc is in.

Then take an oil sample and send it for analysis, that will tell you what sort of condition the bottom end is in, bearings, crank, rods etc.

If everything tests OK, then run it up on the dyno and check the A/F ratios, knock, power etc

If everything is OK, then get on with driving it.

:starwars: cheers :)

not to spoil the mood or anything.

but there WILL be a problem complying that.

just a gues youl need these parts.

non braded brake lines

posibly brake calipers/discs

engine

wheels

seats

and pretty much anything else non standard.

just make sure you know were the raws auditers are so they can submit the paperwork when their on the otherside of the country.

sick car but MASSIVE job.

oh. the engine should be fine. :lol:

MMMmmm...yummo engine,but I'll mirror earlier comments,tho':good luck getting that beast complied! Oh,yes:

3. Check T88 maybe high flow turbo?
As you need MORE flow than a T88 provides?LOL!

Denver: R31Nismoid: Sydneykid: I know I know i just haven't imported before so I'm like what to do. Anways thanks a mill you guys for posting it helps confirm things big time.

T04GTR: The import co will compliance as I said they do R33's easy, plenty of the vanialla R33 parts nps there.

Fast GTR: it comes with PFC and commander already but thinking wolf cos nos, antilag and rotational i.

Thanks again

ill say, the work to strip the car to compliance condition is going to be huuuge

the interior is 100% stock apart from a torque spliter/power FC/one gauge and a remote start in the glove box.

So it'll just be the exterior and hey wish me luck and no pain please

BTW Nismoid are you familiar with how much it is to be a sponsored banner ad PM me please or Blitz if you know.

Just becasue a piece of paper says 'this is whats in the car' doesnt exactly mean everything is in there.

Strip the motor down. This is the only way you will know for sure what is in the engine. Then (and only then) you can decide how hard you want to lean on it. Your engine builder can then set the desired clearances, tolerences, compression ect based on what is ACTUALLY in the engine and what you want the car to do. It is alot cheaper than tuning the car based on what you 'think' is in the car and then having it go bang.

I would assume its a standard & prepped crank.

I thought the normal Power FC needed AFM's?

thnx purple R32 agreed

Its D jettro thats why

and hey NXTIME I don't think mine is an LM just a vspec but that looks sweet where did you find it?

    • 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.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
