This is an awsome car.

On a different note those number plates with the red strip across em in ur pic,

does that mean they are temporary licence plates or is that how cars get defected in japan.

just curious....

yeah your on, temporary plates they are... you need them when your in the process of getting your car registered... there good for a week if you get them on a monday... lots of people also use them to temp-legalize a non-street legal car for a track day...

no idea where he got a shroud like that but i dont need one that big as you can see....

tape is just there temporary just FYI...

not to shabby, a bit high and the Aero is just slapped on but oh well....

the flake shows best in streetlamps and other night time artificial lights... in the sun the general shinyness of the car seams to mask the flake... but it still looks great, chicks dig it...

so its official we were gonna name her Dorthy but Betty seams to work better, when the song black betty just happened to come on when i was thinking of names...

2 stroke as in 200cc?

nah 2-stroke as in 2-cycle, not a 4 stroke, more like a motorcycle motor then a car...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stroke_cycle

It actually drifts very well, i was surprised i knew it would do good, but the smoothness of the big car just makes it insanely easy to manipulate cause of the feel of sort of drifting in slow-motion... but it deffinatly doesnt stop as fast as my past drift cars (lighter and smaller).... didnt get any drift shots sorry, i was just f**king around....

on another note i will say that my suspension does beautifully at 200+ Kph we did the trip out to Daikoku this weekend.... and the car didnt have a shutter on the high speed turns... out handled a touge civic haha, and out ran a Rx7 so im happy....

unfortunatly the Tranny that came with the swap is less then perfect and i have to track down a replacement soon before i head to the track...

should be at a Gymkana on the 15th of June we'll get pics then....

thanks again for all the good words...

yea dats gud 2 hear :P

has it got a s13 box in it now? go s14? or reco da s14 if u got dat in it..

well its mean-ness will scare my ceffy off da road so da good words are granted :D

GL wit it all

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
