So soon :O

Whats coming off first?

As much as I can take off on my day off on Wednesday :P

Are you building or buying, Phil?

Building man. Good time to build at the moment with the builders doing a lot of good deals and the government doing the extra $10,000 building boost until January 31st.

Hey Phil, If you need a hand to pull anything apart let us know. Was alright Saturday, bit unorganised sorry guys. Definetly have to organise something for easter. Oh and Phil do Sau members get discounts :P

Hoping to order balancer, new boost gauge, wideband gauge in a week or 2, sump should be paid for this week pending ol' matey potatey takes the VVL head this week.

actually got some motivation to walk out to the gtr yesterday, removed most of hte loom from top section of motor, just gotta get under the plenum and remove the remaining connections and she's only got the "mechanical" things left.....

Might jack it up this week and look at the gearbox, apparently it's a push..... hoping it is................. LOL

Also may need a battery as this one has gone flat ( :( ) Phil, any idea what size it takes if yours and mine are hte same? (given you just went through this issue LOL) - Just need a size really as I'll probably get a optima.

Yep, I have a serious carbon whorism / obsession

Carbon pieces on the car:

400R front bar vents

Nismo B Pillars

Nismo Spoiler End Caps

Exhaust Shield (To be fitted)

Boost Controller mount / panel thingy

Spoiler Blade - Gotta modify

Nismo Gear knob

What's to come..............

Window control switches

Center Console lid

A pillars (drivers mainly but hopefully passenger too)

Bonnet struts

Eventually will get hte dash cluster done in PROPER carbon along with the sub meter as they are a "carbon look" from factory so proper will look legit.

and MAYBE get the air diversion panel done in it....

Is anyone an expert on 5 stud conversions...? Considering buying an s13 a in the middle of going through a 5 stud conversion but haven't done that sortve stuff so a little nervous ;) Phil you would know the car, a bloke by the name of Adam owns it out at mt low

    • 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.....
