Oddball87 Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 This is what i am doing to every nut and bolt that is going back on the car. Cleaning all the threads out so i have no issues refitting and painting them to make them look better. This takes a while. Front and rear subframes on with all the hubs, arms painted and coilovers fitted. But i will be changing these for a set of nitrons as soon as i can. Then fitted these bad boys Brembo Grand torismo 6 pot fronts with 14" discs And the rears. Steering rack painted and fitted. And the car on its way to my new unit.

Oddball87 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Got some more work done on the weekend. Fitted door trims and seals. Cleaned up and fitted the rubber bungs. Fitted the diff. And dropped the engine back in. So i can mock everything up e.g wiring loom and fuel lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddball87 Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) Right i need abit of help with my water lines please. I want to remove as much as possible that isn't going to be used, i have no heater matrix so i am happy with what i am doing with them pipes. My turbo is not water cooled and i think i will be removing the stock oil cooler from the block. So i just need to know what pipes i need to keep? i have forgotten what the small metal pipe is for on the water pump next to the lower water neck. And on this pic, at the front of the head just above the ps pump. Edited April 25, 2014 by Oddball87 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetrashcanman Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Wow just read through this, awesome build mate, shall be amazing when its finished. alas I can not help RE the water lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 The second pump outlet was the feed for my single, I think alot of people just cap it off if there turbo is non water cooled. Looking good by the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew K Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 This is a great build you have going here bud and the attention to detail is outstanding The first pic with the pipe coming out the water pub can be blocked off as not needed if your turbo's oil cooled. Second picture I'm not to sure on! Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would ditch the stock oil cooler and fit an extended stud and take a direct feed (mocal thermostatically controlled take off plate) to an aftermarket oil cooler. The oil filter can be relocated too, but i would just keep it attached to the block. Been done a few times on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddball87 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Right need abit of advice on my copy Greddy intake. The Q45 Throttle body is the problem What do i need to do with the TPS the one i have still has a Nissan TPS by the look of it. Is there a bracket etc that will fit the Toyota TPS to the Q45. Or if you run a syvecs ecu can you go with something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if you run a syvecs ecu can you go with something else. If you have an aftermarket ECU, such as a Syvecs, my understanding is that you can just wire in the Nissan TPS and use this instead? Might want to check that with Ryan (Edit - Seen you have Syvecs). Your alternative option is to use an adaptor kit. Greddy did these but often there are copies on ebay.
