That is clean as!

Epic Win!

It looks stock but are you planning on any mods?

Not planning anything major other then to maintain (increase) reliability.

Looking at stainless turbos and a new ECU (Power FC). Probably a new driver's seat (Bride) and an Aussie (well german - Blaupunkt) stereo - that's about it.

Cheers

Sounds good!

What turbos you thinking off?

Stainless turbos?

I think he means Steel Internal Turbo's.

There are much better ecu options around than the outdated PFC too.

I believe PFC's are still good and they work very well.

It would be my next step up from the Nistune, I am going for.

Doh - ofcourse not stainless (stoopid SS acronym as in HKS GT-SS ;-)

looking at simple N1 or 2530's or GT-SS........the jury is still out and research to be done - just want to get rid of the ceramics as a future potential problem.

And while on the subject of Doh - seeing this my first Skyline - can someone enlighten me on what is the measurement of the numberplate well at the back ?? Presumably the standard 372mm plates don't fit (have seen many 'bendies') but would appreciate an idea of what plates would fit neatly (thinking 5 digit slimline??)

Cheers

From memory the Ceramic Turbines are 20+ year old Garrett T28 Turbines.

N1 = Garrett -7 / Garrett -9

Garrett -9's have a marginally smaller Compressor Wheel compared to the Garrett -7.

But allow for more top end as the configuration / pitch angle of the turbine blades is different.

HKS GT-SS = Garrett -9, but with a different Turbine Housing.

Good for response and perfect for street performance.

HKS GT2530 = Garrett -5, but with a slightly bigger Compressor Wheel.

Would be "laggy" for street unless you rebuild the RB26 / 2.6lt HKS V-Cam or go for a 2.8lt / RB28 HKS V-Cam.

I got the standard VIC Roads Slimline Plates and they are 'bendies'.

You'd have to go custom slimline if you were to make them fit without bending them.

You can also order the USA style plates which are 305mm x 155mm

fit perfectly to all Jap cars, I bought them for my Crown

had them on my evo too! everyone loved them.

Happy - the colour is perfect and hard to photograph.... looks not as dull in real life.

Nismo sticker to break up the blackness or not?

After 6 months of hard work I've finally bought another skyline. :D specs: '00 34gt 5sp, Work CR Kai 17's, C-West kit, HKS adjustable coilovers, heavy duty button clutch, 2.5 Kakimoto zorst and has a GTR mfd. I'll try take more photos when I have the time to. :cheers:

    • I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility
    • Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.  
    • so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?
    • That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.   
    • Here's the torque curves from the car I ramped boost up later in the rpm to allow a slightly wider useful power curve - the power curve is a bit weird shaped also thanks to the TVIS (or whatever they call it with the 4EFTE in this Starlet) which changes the volume of the intake manifold throughout the rpm range, but you can see that the green power curve actually holds later on with the extra boost... but looks almost more like the kind of thing you'd expect from a cam or exhaust change
