Personally, I'd just save up my pennies and wait till I had $2k and go down to steve @ sst and get a wolf3d installed. This will get you a full ignition/timing/fueling computer, remove your boost cuts, speed cuts and will also allow you to controll the boost as well. A safc is gonna set you back $550-$650 (depending on where you buy it) + dollars spent to tune it on the dyno. To up your boost now its gonna cost you about $100 for the bleed valve, I dunno how much the cut defenders are and then the dyno time to set it all up. Save the dosh and buy the ecu, you will get much better bang for buck.

Kym, Yes, the R34 cooler is better, but it's the overfuelling that will occur at 12psi without an SAFC that makes me say that 10psi is better. I think with a decent full exhaust the boost will rise to a reasonable figure without the need to muck around with bleeder's for the time being.

I've got a bleed valve from previous owner (uninstalled), so the only unknown cost right now is for the boost cut defender(s), depending on how many I need..

I probably will go the ECU a bit later along the line together with the FMIC, but for now I just want a cheap and effective power increase in the form of boost + front/dump pipes. Sound like a good idea?

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Looking for autoelectrician in Perth who can do the OEM to double din stereo upgrade.

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
