With my limited Japanese skills - the article mentions nothing about power output - just saying how they fashioned the guards from fibreglass. Seems Garage Make T&E were involved - also TBO?

Cost = 150,000 yen

i've seen the article, it also had some pics under the engine bay... it looks VERY cramed, even more than a 300zx, but from memory it had a VG30TT engine.

oh and welcome to yesterday james, htis thread was up before the great crash...

Bugger - here I am trying to be cutting edge and all... :D

Oh well. Whilst I'm being off the pace... here's a pic of the engine...

well in theory its a 300zx with a skyline drivetrain... so it would be a 300zx (since engine is 300zx)

If you're trying to tell me THAT car has a Z32 chassis (hence what you said) just with a Skyline drivetrain, thereby making it a "300ZX with a Skyline drivetrain... I'll handwash all Konishiki's Sumo pants...:D

Um Rezz no misworded that one... i meant 300zx internals in an R32 chassis... but apparently accrding to that pic its just Z32 fenders.

Besides Akebono soils his pants more than Konishiki, I'd rather u wash his :D

    • 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.....
