its got jaggies and stuff but it was going to take a bit to get it 100% im not an artist just like playing

Thanks Stevo.....I'll give it a go.......looks good bud. :P

Hey no probz Dave......I reckon Patrick is organizing a DVD for me so don't go out of your way bud, but I'd be curious to see what's available in Adelaide next time you're there. :)

KISIN - Yes i actually have GTR fronts in mine but there is no differance in the front from GTSt to GTR

Yeah it would still be there Jess but sau has a bad habit of making links go bad if you just copy and paste without coding them :(

Oh :D again..This is the first time it has done it to me..

All good cause Sled found them on ebay anyway!

I'm excited about Go Karts and catching up with you SA folk :woot:

There might be no house purchase for me this month :)

House at auction went for way more than I was willing to go (which was well above market value)! :D

House I put an offer in I had a second inspection last night on and there's a few things wrong with it. Getting a building inspector to go thru it early tomorrow morning (before I got interstate), and I've instructed him to look for water damage in the ceiling and down the wall cavity. I strongly believe there will be hidden damage, and the owners thought paint would cover up anything. Considering the vendors are asking $5K above median price in the area (on par with Cheltenham houses) and especially $50K above suburb prices (houses in Rosewater range $310K to $330K average) ... I do not believe it will be worth $375K even with the extension (which I suspect does not have Council approval). :down:

Shopping for a house is so much hard work ... jesus, there are some real disappointing homes out there ;)

There is one final house I'm looking at in the area well within the market range and looks to be in better condition. I might arrange an inpsection next week when I return. If nothing comes from this one, I'm giving up looking until the end of the year. Everyone knows the housing market is on its way down, and most vendors are trying to get as much as they can now despite there being some problems with the house!

I'll have pleasure telling the vendor I'm retracting my offer due to hidden faults with the house they were aware of, if it comes to that. :P

WOOT.. 302rwkw 17psi

Best part though...

3500rpm = 200rwkw

4000rpm = 265rwkw

Comes on super smooth no snapping and actually really easy to get the power down.

The 2" FMIC piping and 450x300 small FMIC was causing a few issues and wouldn't allow us to push more than 17psi in to it up top. :D

Not to replace the fmic and its 2" skinny arsed piping :P

Very Nice!!! :P

NICE joel!! im sure ur a happy man..

whats next hahaha?????

Thats a silly question... :)

E85 haha

+ FMIC with 2.5" piping.

The cams have really woke the car up.. Right off idle it feels much more responsive, spools the turbo earlier etc. I must admit I was a tad scared the 265/263 9mm regrinds would kill low end but its been the complete opposite.

Best thing.... I've just pulled 400km's out of a tank and almost a 1/4 of that tank was on the dyno!! :D

hey Joel.....did you have to retard the exh gear to compensate and bring the power curve back to the left?

I'm abit confused, cause even though 9mm is not huge lift, when I went to school, bigger overlaps always caused a shift in rpm in a northerly direction.......maybe it's more to do with your tune than the cams cause I always thought that better response is not generally a side effect of bigger overlaps :)

Regardless of the size of the cams the way they are setup they run less overlap than the R32 RB25DE cams (8degrees) I previously had in there.

From memory they were 240duration inlet 7.8mm lift and 232duration 7.3mm lift. Inlet had an LCA of 112 degree's and exhaust 117 or 118degree's. Being a total of approx 8degree's overlap.

The new cams... Inlet LCA 110 exhaust 115. Overlap is 4-5degree's so even though they are bigger cams they are setup with bugger all overlap.

The Inlet LCA and exhaust are exactly the same as how JUN or HKS I believe setup their RB20DET cams.

Less overlap helps turbo spool improves bottom end which is most likely why I have not lost any fuel economy or low/mid power yet still picked up decent top end due to the 265duration and 9mm lift. I presume. :S

Still got some tweaking to do it was only on the dyno for approx 1hr. It wasn't worth spending any more time on it as the FMIC is crap and causing problems. Most likely the IW 1bar actuator is not able to hold much more. Much the same as the problems Dangerman4 experienced with his IW garrett housing. Needs a nice stiff actuator.

    • Welcome!  How long have you had it? And what colour is it?
    • "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about  
    • Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .
    • Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?
    • Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
