Sorry guys nothing much to report so far :down:

Been busy moving house etc etc so thats soaked up a lot of time and cash so will hit the ground running hopefully within the next few weeks so keep an eye out as there will be some updates coming thick and fast at that stage :cheers:

Had a few bits and pieces added to the spec sheet lately.

Picked up some rather nice and more importantly not stadard suspension for the car.

Have a set of HKS Hypermax coilovers thanks to a fellow SAU'er

Also have picked up a carbon drift lip spoiler to finally cover up where the standard unit was, has been running the devil horns look for around 2 years haha

Also managed to pick up a Greddy dual gauge pod to help tidy up the dash area of the car.

Must admit I have been pretty slack with this thing lately, still untuned and stupidly spending money of household items rather than the car :spank:

Depending on the next few weeks and how I am feeling may look into a new head gasket and getting the head reco'd with some cams and then a tune... however I am more inclined to just pull the whole engine out if I need to pull the head off.. Time and motivation will be the key factor in what happens next lol

Stay tuned for pics of suspension

Finally some progress made on the old girl! Finally has a tune for the new turbo set up and she's moving along quite nicely now. Coilovers are in and extremely happy with them so far.

Car made 317rwkw on a safe tune (11.1:1 AFR's) on around 22.4 psi boost.. This is the lowest boost possible and the only thing letting the package down is the standard engine which may possibly have a damaged section around one of the coolant galleries on the head gasket so may have to look into this problem

    • Do you plan on using 98 or e85?
    • This should be pretty easy. 200rwkW is just about the max power out of an RB25 stock turbo. So, 12ish psi on a 2.5L. That boost limited mainly by the prospect of seeing the turbine in the cat after the smoke show. A steel wheeled equivalent would likely happily do ~220rwkW at something like 17 psi, where it would probably be bumping into the usual limits of such a sized turbo. These things have like a .48 rear. You will not need the 0.86 rear. The 0.64 will be fine. In fact, if you were looking at various mid-200rwkW options for RBs, most of them would be in a 0.64 rear. So, I think you will definitely want to be no bigger than that for a same sized but probably even more efficient (at making power) modern engine.
    • Change the subframe bushes, transforms the car.
    • For something a little more serious, Davinci Resolve is about the best there is for free video editors. No expiration dates or watermarks, completely free.
    • Well, it's taken me until the last week of 2024 to actually do something on the Skyline but I consider it a good head start to 2025's efforts! I managed to justify (to myself anyway...) my purchase of the lift table. It made taking the rear subframe out a lot easier than it would have been without anyway! Everything is out and stripped down ready for a clean then powdercoating.  She's pretty grubby under there but pretty good condition for a 38 year old Japanese tin bucket. 12 years of zero street time have obviously helped that... I need to decide which of the factory suspension arms I will keep and replace so I only get what I'm keeping powdercoated.  Baby steps but it's a start!
