It's basically Hollywood isn't it? I mean look at this! You can see the car on the dyno, see the data from the log.... 600KPA target. More like 82KPA target and a bunch of YouTube Hollywood magic showing fake numbers and fake data, right?

Yeah I doubt these 6 second 200+mph cars are running the boost they say they are. I mean look at this guy claiming he is running 90+psi of boost and a 250 shot. Why can't they just be honest and say they are really running 12psi of boost.

How is the car going to be used? Depending on that answer, upgraded pads/rotors might be all you need.

what comp ratio do you think this thing has to run 100psi of boost?

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned, they pop out of gear if you let go of the shifter. So yeah, hand off the shifter and your back in neutral. So no, not a streetable gearbox for this reason and all the other reasons listed above.

Generally.... Side skirts and front and rear spoilers may be fitted without specific approval, provided road clearance and air flow for brake cooling are not adversely affected. Additionally, they must not be fitted so they are likely to increase the risk of bodily injury to a vulnerable road user coming into contact with the vehicle. All material is to be of a suitable thickness and be free from sharp edges or corners. Rear spoilers must be within the body shape/outline of the mounting surface, for example, the boot outline. The minimum thickness of end plates is 4mm and they must be free of sharp edges or corners. Having said that, I'm only familiar with NSW and QLD legislation/regulations, VIC might be different.

Before setting up said missile switch, have a think about a CAN keypad instead. https://linkecu.com/link-can-keypads-have-arrived/

I thought the same thing until I started adding up the cost of everything required for the setup lol

How long will it be in storage and how do you plan to store it?

Does the back seat ever get used?

Are you thinking that "2step" means huge flames / pops and bangs? 2step just means a second rev limit. So it works the same way your normal rev limiter works. If you have 2step, now you just have 2 rev limiters set at different points.

There are times you would want to cut both ignition and fuel at the same time. Have a look at what Link ECU do for the rotary only rev limiter, that cut is both fuel and ignition. A very simple explanation of this is, the fuel and ignition style cut is very gentle on the motor. No, the injectors do not only fire under load / increasing rpm. I'm not really sure what your getting at with that statement or if you had a question.

As I said before, my wastegate actuator failed and it's failed state was seized shut. Your boost controller can't control a wastegate actuator that has seized shut.

With the 17" wheel setup, what tyres and size were you running and what was needed to get them to fit? Did they rub anywhere?

Well, it's not 'the' answer but it is 'an' answer lol. It's like if your stock turbo dies, do you really spend $$ to put another stock turbo in there? Your average car dude loves a good excuse for an upgrade. I'm just saying this is a good excuse to put the MAF in the bin with a cheeky ECU upgrade. And yes, if you get an ECU it will need to be tuned.

Only one thing left to do now. Get a proper ECU and bin the MAF sensor.

No, the cat needs to come up to temperature before it works. Plugging up the exhaust with multiple cats will not help you. Just get a good quality euro 5 or 6, 400+ cell cat and you'll be fine.

No it doesn't. It has to meet the standards that was in place at the time the vehicle was constructed. If your car was, I think, older then 1985, then you don't need an emissions test as there were no emissions standards/requirements at that time. If you are having trouble passing emissions, have a chat with a good tuner. It's not 'hard' to pass emissions, the car just has to be setup to pass emissions.... again this just adds to the overall cost involved in getting your certification. I am 100% confident that I could tune/setup a skyline to pass emissions and I'm not a professional tuner by trade.

I hope that's me at 78. What a champ!

What ECU do you have?

What is your experience with stripping/lightening a street car, have you done this before with another car?

The bloke who did the swift is long retired unfortunately.

Do you mean the turbo swift? That was the car I went through engineering with in NSW. My skyline is mod plated in QLD. Both cars are/were pretty extensively modified, would take a while to list it all lol.

Pretty sure its only the one bloke operating Fink Engineering, I think it's Troy Brodie but my memory is a bit hazy on it. I only spoke with him over the phone, 0423 183 624.

Yes, I should have mentioned that. For the average bear, this is 100% the correct way to do things. My approach is a little unorthodox, in that I have an understanding of the rules/process so I'm happy to build my car first. Then find an engineer that is on the same page as me. So far I haven't had any issues operating this way in either NSW or QLD. Nitznair, if I was in your shoes I would find the engineer first before completing the engine swap. You've already started to discover how difficult some engineers are to work with, you don't want to end up with an unregisterable car after completing the swap.
