I was able to borrow some unsecured wireless from the Library. I'm inside my car at the moment checking email on my mini acer laptop/datalogger
Some pictures I managed to upload on 1 bar of signal strength. The turbo upgrade will began in about 2 days.    Ill be back online from home starting Monday with a bunch of recent pictures. |

Such a sick thread. I don't know what I would do if I saw all those Skylines together in that parking lot (or saw them as often as I see Civics). The Tokyo Auto Salon looked pretty baller too, almost makes me want to invest in an RC car to drift it around mini cones.
What was that van thingy (no idea) that came to that ridiculous stoppie in that video? That was pretty cool. And I must know what type of wheels those are. Pink looks so good :] |

I forgot to mention how baller the Sharpie project is. I wish I had talent (or the time) to do something like that.

 Got down to business finally on the turbo setup. Day 1 started at 1600 on Sunday and terminated 10am Monday.... My fingers hurt badly but Ill be going back out to work untill complete exhaustion again lol.  Had to bring the temp of the cast housing up in order to change the properties of the metal so that I could weld on my stainless steel Vband flange.    Don't wanna mess up the clean for so soon..  My new little paint box lol... didn't want to paint inside the garage today.   Bye Bye Stock... its been a good run but its Ova!  Was shocked that the RB T28 turbo has a T3 exhaust housing flange. Gee Wiz info. Had this been a smaller holset... I could have bolted it right up to the cast manifold if I wanted. This also made running my oil return super easy as I was able to use the T3 return fitting from the T28...(Peter Griffin) "Yeeaaaaaaaa"  Had some unforseen fitment issues due to my manifold.. If I had more time on my hands.. I would have just sources a new manifold.. but that's not an option.. so whats a Ninja do????......grinds away safely untill it fits.... This process took about 2-3 hours alone do to removing and installing every time will all gaskets to insure the fitment is good to go. I can't fab up the dump until I install my new motor mounts... which requires some modification themselves. Gotta do some research and see how RB's do with atmospheric WG setups..... for Japanese Inspection purposes I think im just going to run the WG into the dump.     AC is no more.. never used that *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* as Misawa is Cold 295 days a year. the AC was pissing me off due to how I would have had to route my dump... I Could have bent the hardline...but all that jazz is gone bay is so much cleaner all ready.  Wrapping it up for that session. Fitment is tight.. but it works. will sand and paint the covers. Next is to see what All I can get rid of in the coolant sections.    Tonights objectives.. -Install new mounts -mock up dump tube -install intake manifold -wire up resistor pack for bigger injectors -we shall see |

well I forgot I had to return to work... its 338 right now... Had to call it a night. Car should start tomorrow for sure.. All I need is some fresh fuel line... *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* reusing the old hard rubber lines I had.
the intake manifold is cool.. but *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* man... it was a *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* putting the bolts in... such tight clearances.

Status as of three days ago........
   the "completion" of this build was made possible by Ryan for letting me borrow his RB powered Z31... I love driving this thing.    Work on the exhaust housing dumptube took some time do to the crazy angle and having to make multiple passes on the welds and grinding them down in between each session. When I started the the car there were only a few pin hole leaks which I welded up.

little valve cover play, converting to Low impedance injectors and deleting much of the stock coolant lines.
     Car currently is idling at 2000 rpms I have not beee able to really diagnose as work has gotten busy again. The air intake control valve is all good to go and all vac sources are plugged or used. Ill have to check and set the voltages of the TPS that should do it for sure. Also had an unfortunate yet cool event take place....... I have a hair line fracture on the pictured part of my manifold. Coolant is leaking out through a crack.. going to have to get this welded by a welder thats set up for Aluminum :/. The location could not have been better... right up front. |
