Warlord, firstly let me state i am not defending travis, he clearly dropped some unwarranted comments.

But seriously, your reply (or counter attack) was rediculously childish. "poo boy"(???), come on ask yourself is that not the response of an angry 12 year old??

Like i said im not defending his initial agitating response, and youve certainly done some great things with your car, but dignify yourself with some decent and mature responses rather than this schoolboy-like retaliation.

Keep up the good work

thanks for your comment ,if it ever happens to you one day i hope you respond in the same way....because shit kickers like that should join in the spirit of sau and help people with things and encourage members. as for all my school boy spirited comments, id rather use a childish response to highlight the childish comments that were made.

thanks again.

good stuff WARLORD...use the negatives to spur you on to make them eat their words.

I copped heaps of flack when i first came out and said i wanted to run 10's on low-mounts...back then it was "no way without slicks and NOS" "no way with a full weight car" "why waste your time and money when you can easily do it with a big single" "no way with a synchro box" etc etc

I ended up running bloody 9's...lol

If you need any help with anything mate just shoot me a PM.

A good manifold will see you higher numbers,faster spool and a great exhaust note.

Have seen this car and met the owner, have to say its very tidy, and one i would love to line up against at the track, as both our engine setups are almost identical.

this is a run with the intercooler piping and intercooler and throttle body

the dyno was done on 18ns all other dynos are done on 17ns so there is a small loss

with the car re tuned i see a much better result,still im very happy with the way the car drives and the gains in boost and power

water methanol kit is also installed so it will be tuned together

next zex nitrous kit 75 shot its coming from the states this week

Nick, with the larger throttle and cooler piping did you notice a decrease in response at all? Or does it still feel as responsive as it did? Can't wait to see how you go with the water-meth and nitrous :blink:

to tell you the truth to me its better more response and harder acceleration i noticed the difference even on the dyno look at the way thew power comes on wait till its tuned.

i think that old (the larger throttle body does nothing for you is bull) my opinion .

    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
    • Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney
    • I'm not sure what sort of shops are nearby, but I'd expect any reasonable exhaust shop could put a cat in it that will not restrict the power that engine makes. Otherwise, if you want to remove it, short lengths that replace the cat are readily available online, search for "de-cat pipes" or "test pipes"  
    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
