Yep been on SXOC since I had my first S14 a lonnnngggggggg time ago.
Update time:
So I have been continuing to collect bits and getting close but still have some way to go.
Birthday present:
Maintenance:
Leaking banjo is a pain
So as it is a modified car nothing is done right.
In order to stop the battery relocation to the boot burning the car to the ground i rang an auto electrician to fit a breaker as i don't want industrial crimping tools.
I didnt have a spare key so now I have a consolt usb adapter to code keys and diagnose problems.
Swapped the fuel pump, nervous about that job.
Had an aftermarket pump but was crimped badly, had been putting this off for a while as I didn't want to set myself on fire.
The high flow pump then caused the fuel lines in the engine bay to piss fuel so they got replaced on a Monday morning.
I learned to Mig and stick weld in an evening course. Something I needed to learn. Need a bit more practice.
My birthday present to myself Defi Din Gauges. Wont be fitted till RB
Other:
Conversion wiring harness ordered. For RB25 NEO.
No going back now.
AN10 Braided Hoses and fittings ordered for oil cooler and catch can hose looks like its about to melt so, swap before fire. Will look better two.
Braided Brake lines ordered and R33 braided clutch lines for conversion.
Rocker cover gasket for Sr20 is leaking so that is on order two.
On the hunt for a R34 flywheel next, but that's my parts budget spent for this month.
Car is driving spotlessly now.
Left on the list:
1. 10 Amp relay for Fans
2. Slim pusher fans
3. Engine
4. Gearbox
5. ECU
6. Flywheel and Bolts
7. Alarm/immobilizer for after the swap.
8. R33 cross-member
9. Pedal box clutch master Cylinder
Getting close, but in no hurry.0 -

GTX3076R
Compressor maps look good but a bit of an unknown in terms of finding Dyno results on it.
The plan is to order a twin scroll divided T3 .78

Brought the car out to Sydney Dragway now it was running right.
Got three runs in before the place shut.
After the last run the turbo and/or manifold gaskets let go.
I had that please don't be death rattle moment.
So Saturday is turbo off again day......

Job done over a three day weekend.
7 layer updated Manifold gasket.
Copper Gasket used on the gaskets
Silicone gasket maker used on the cold side turbo gaskets.
Had to cut a nut off (pun intended)
Threaded insert in block using the re-tap time-sert kit.
Used axle grease and heavy duty magnet to pull as much swaf out as possible.
Dump pipe gasket is leaking but that's a quick fix tonight when I have light.
No leaks, oil changed as well, so should be good for a couple of months before the motor comes out.

What a week.
Power Window motor let go again so found a new replacement motor.
Later that week the Speedo started to drop out then finally a brake line let go
This is a result of the line being held in with a cable tie instead of a proper brake clips. Another bodge job from previous owner.
So I had my ozzy MOT and i spent the entire day having hard lines made up and collecting braided lines.
Then a 4pm i found a nail in the tyre. With test at 8am the next day.
I also fitted a heat shield for the pod filter.
I was thinking last night 2 years sbody daily driving
I have fixed:
Rev clock
Power windows x 2
Brake disks
Stereo wires and a Arial
Fuel line
Pump
New intercooler
Boost leaks x 12
Maf
Speedo
Suspension adjustment
Exhaust x 2
Turbo + gaskets
Turbo gaskets blew
Oil line leak
New thread for oil line
More boost leaks and a split hose
Lambda sensor
Brake lines
Rocker cover gasket
Steering rack boot x2
Steering rack bushes
Breaker on battery relocation
Not too bad when you think about it :censored:0 -

So I was going to put the gearbox clutch and box on the motor.
Then I lost my marbles and spent 4 hours sanding the box up with 80 Grit to spray it up tomorrow.
This is a hateful job but you could eat your lunch off it now.

It'll be worth it! If you're ever bored and back in Ireland give me a shout! You can do the gearbox for my Samurai :pac:
Amm sureee...... Id am love to help if you have a rotary tool with sanding disks..
I did that by hand and I still have the engine block looking at me.
I could lie to myself and say ill just do the rocker covers
Good news.
I'm old and so 8kg /6kg Springs have to go.
This car is a road car and the road conditions in my area mean i actually drive slower and have less feel due to rough roads.
Don't get me wrong the car handles like a go kart but can feel like one two in terms of comfort.
So I hunted down a set of S-Tunes 5kg 4kg which should do the job of making the car more friendly as a daily.
So in the next few weeks I'll swap these in and i'm on a wait list for Gktech anti roll bars which will take out any sloppy roll.0 -

Progress Update.
I should really make a list but I don't really want to know.
50mm Gate and 1000cc injectors.
Vband adapters and pipe to plumb the gate and make a fresh Exhaust.
Cross Member got tidied up. Wasn't going to do this but it got out of hand.
Temp Sensor fitted for Clocks.
Changed injector plugs to match the Bosch injectors.
Then spotted there is no serial port wired into the ECU plug to map the ECU
Funk!:mad:
Spigot Bush removal. Tried to drill it out but its being difficult....
Dremel or removal tool would have saved me time.

Fitted S-tunes and removed spigot Bush from Rb25 auto engine.
Will get the gearbox on this week.
Going From 8Kg springs to 5Kg is a huge difference in comfort. The car is so much nicer to drive and even at 5kg its stiff.
There is some roll but just enough to transfer weight. I could argue it is better as I can transfer weight around and the rear end doesn't bounce/skip about when it hits bumps.

Ah crap JCC.
:mad: New bumper time, or is it repairable?
TBH I love in fear of some dozy fool with a prescription windscreen and brain in neutral hitting me like that.Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

So I got a day on the weekend to make progress.
I really should just bolt on the gearbox instead of tidying up the block, but its now or never.
I had to strip the rocker cover after.
I went to spray another coat and it reacted when cleaning. You live you lean and I used a fair bit of bad language.

Looking good JCC. Fair play to you for the results you're getting painting in situ.JimmyCrackCorn wrote: »I used a fair bit of bad language.
Cursing is the mental WD40 and Gaffa tape of car fettling.

Will look better when polished and finished.
Really happy with the outcome so far.
Should be reliable and help with decent flow and boost control on a big turbo turned down to 14psi initially.
Ill get a better photo of the engine now it has dried as I left it alone Saturday.

Cleaned plug holes and coil packs
Fitted Clutch
Fitted plugs and packs.
Had the wrong sub-frame got another one this morning.
Have to clean and spray sub-frame and make trolley.
Picked up fire sleeve for turbo lines.
Tried to fit gearbox but i'm doing something wrong with release bearing or spigot bush.
Stress levels High but getting there.
Still have to do timing belt but need a crank puller and bigger sockets so that's Sunday.
Wire in serial port for ECU and Ship to install location.
Collect turbo which is getting welded.

Did you get the box in?
You have the alignment tool so it really can't be that thats at fault. I'm assuming you test fitted the clutch to the input shaft to make sure it was the correct one? Also check that the pilot bearing (if there is one) fits the nose of the input shaft.
Got caught years ago when i was fitting a 2nd hand gearbox to a truck and the new box had a slightly longer input shaft which was dead heading about 3 mil from home. Only realised when the bell housing cracked 0 -
Thanks got sorted after allot of gearbox juggling and scratches.
The issue turned out to be the Nismo clutch pivot was the wrong one and so was the slave cylinder.
The pivot was too long. So after loads of colorful language I put the box on with no fork or release bearing and saw it.
Got a 90 degree elbow welded on the turbo.
Had to swap the subframe for the right one a 33GTST for Syco mounts
Engine now on sub-frame and the castor wheels are handy.
In an utter balls up I chipped the crank pulley and will be collecting a new old one.
Alternator and starter got some paint.
Transferred Serial port to new loom from old harness I had. Here is the old
