Slight blog revival, small video of how the car is currently doing

Engine bay is still rough, have got ecu problems so having to use the almera maf for now. Will certainly be tidied up once everything is running good and most likely after mapping

Yeah got it Aoc being weird and not letting me upload another few pics, will keep trying

If i hooked up the laptop i could, and the rad was cleaned out with a hose and is also brand new Anyway some good news. I have tonight refitted the thermostat and spent half an hour making sure all the air is out aswell as changing the fan to pull rather than push and it worked a treat! Few...

Topped up the system and it never really took much more, took out for another drive and once again on the country roads going at speeds from 50-60 the car is a dream and temperature stays perfect. 10-15 mins town driving and its a overheating mess and motorway driving does not bring it back...

Thank you nugget, its been a long road but it has paid off. Still have slight overheating issues, originally i blanked off the heater matrix pipes but turns out this caused it to overheat whilst motorway driving. Last night i added in a pipe and removed the thermostat and Re-filled the coolant...

4 and bit years later the car is now roadworthy, i have a few running issues currently but it drives and shifts well for only being 1-2psi of boost with very light throttle. Once the issues have been fixed including ecu problems i will book in for mapping and hopefully return with a decent...

Yes but worst case the engine is removed to do any work as its not a big job. Wheels and brakes I haven't really looked at yet, still a fair bit of engine/ecu work to do before I move onto the last few bits. I'd like a set of prorace 1.2's and wilwoods maybe at a later date

Water pump belt is a nightmare with the engine in the car but altenator isnt too bad, i do have plans to upgrade suspension, wheels, tyres, brakes, rollcage yes. As soon as the engine work is all together and setup

Wow its been a while, been really busy with work recently so not alot has happened! Downpipe is done and flanged to suit a cat and standard micra cat back system for mot time. The rest of the system is nearly done but im not happy with the section that passes over the rear axle. Its very tight...

Its on the cold side of the cooler though? And the pipe from the rocker could still be fitted after the maf if needed or into a catch can? (Obviously if the turbo shits itself the oil will reach the maf eventually) main reason ive put the maf there is because theres only a few inches before its...

It was a weird one, the turbo come with the usual 4 threaded studs but the manifold was also threaded so had to drill the some manifold threads out, remove 3 of the studs and drill the turbo threads out too but keep the 1 stud as i couldnt bolt straight through that one. It couldnt then go the...

200sx maf sensor, recirc valve and air filter all done :) Bumper chopped

It isnt a strange idea its a brilliant idea haha! Last night got the downpipe put together down to the back of the engine and tacked together. Its beginning to get a bit tight in there!! :cool: Need a few more bits before i can make the full system

Got a few little bits done, Intercooler piping route done. Just need to add in a maf and recirc valve Oil return pipe finished, turbo water lines in place and tees put in at throttle body but unsure of coolant flow direction... 555cc injectors fitted, need to buy the correct plug adapters...

Perfect would be good to see. Ive took a little 10mm lip off on the underside of the leg approx 3" at the gearbox for a little extra clearance but not gone chopping sections out.

Does he know the cause? Its the first ive heard. Im sure little bandit wasnt strengthened?? And cheers!

Got a few bits done last night, turbo, intercooler, pipes and injectors have all arrived Turbo fitting all put on, intercooler bracket welded onto crossmember Rough pipe layout. Ordered the bend and reducers i need Bumper chopped lol
