Spray the top side of the heat shield, might make it looks a bit better without the rust...

Apart from that looks like a tidy install :)

Agreed, it made mine look a lot better. Just black heat proof paint and i used some stainless allen key bolts because i'm a ricer.

Work in progress shot when i was fitting the 3071

Dori what paint is that man? I want to do my cooler pipes in a similar finish.

If anyone is interested my 10:1cr SR made 200.5kw @ 13.3psi on the mainline today, running a GT2860RS disco and failed VCT. Generally those turbos do 220 if everything is good, considering im using the stock AFM with a 40mm ID and the compression of the motor (dont forget its on a mainline) Im pretty happy with that.

Soon to find out how it drives when I pick it up from Jez.

thanks simon,

yeah im gonna spray it when i get a chance to hit it up with a wire brush and some rust protector first.

What gate, looks stock too meeee :ph34r:

Christ, I was hoping i would be able to squeeze in a std airbox with the high mount. Looking at that pic there is no chance.

Bugger pickling. Isnt even buying it a ball ache these days? Just linish the thing and remove any evidence of the weld. If you do the tig weld neat enough you only really need a bit of scothbrite. This is my gay ass old setup and the TB pipe was pretty quick and easy out of some stainless left over from work, a quick rub with some IPA and green scothbrite and you cant pick the welds

my intakes all aluminium..hence all the lobster, the weight savings are enormous

as for the gate pipe, we didnt have any mandrel 2 inch and didnt care

I dont mind cause when I put it all together you cant see shit anyways..

yeah thats right, I still have my stock snorkel bitches.... :nyaanyaa:

unfortunately though my crossover pipe is like 1mm thick rubbsih aluminium, welds sure to snap oneday..

Just need a cover for the gate and dumps now...prolly give some of that heat shield shit a go too..or maybe just some aluminum plate i dunno..

Hey Roy your gay ass old setup looks alright man Love that TB pipe..whats the dud pipe on the intake with a cap on it??

But wait... No CAI box, Isn't that illegal...You'll be sucking in hot air man, this may cause you to lose power and stuff.

Arent you handicapped enough with an RB20 :whistling: .

Man, your engine bay in MINT! I love it.

The dud pipe/cap is where the Greddy kit returns its BOV too. It has since been cut off and welded up. . The other pipe with hose in it is where my catch can plumbs back to on the street. The car once had a shroud over the filter, but it was pretty shit and when it went missing at the mechanics I never missed it or bothered to replace it. That was 2004 :) There are a two ducts (grey corrugated pipe you can just see in the pic) that duct air to the filter. Its still crap, but meh. When i finally get my radiator setup I will fix all the inlet piping

The crossover pipe is gay because I was a tight ass and used leftover tubing from a pharamceutical project I was working on. It didnt have material certificates so couldn't be used...so i grabbed it for the right price: FREE :) Problem is its 1.6mm thick 316L so far heavier then ideal. But a breeze to weld

we all know you're a ricer Dave.

nice weld job on the cooler piping, who did the fab work for you?

I did that stuff for him from memory. It was ages ago but i think that was mild steel which was then painted black of some variety

:thanks:

Something like this this stuff yeah..cant be too hard to mount it..

Black Caliper paint comes up real good, needs no base coat..Did mine the other day..

td06sh-25g on sr22 (nistune) low and high boost (red run is 14 sec pull so its artificially responsive) it was done to make sure det was 3-4degrees off regardless of load.

    • We're back on, gang - Our yearly pilgrimage south to our favourite cafe for an awesome brekkie! Yes, that's right... we're heading down to Austi Beach Cafe for a breakfast run through the Royal National Park! Before you drool over your phones/keyboards, here are the details: Date: Sunday 23rd February Meet Location: Loftus Oval Carpark, Royal National Park, Sutherland Meet Time: Meet at 7:00am for a 7:30am departure Destination: Austi Beach Cafe, 104 Lawrence Hargrave Drive, Austinmer Map: http://tinyurl.com/saunsw-austicruise  RSVP: If you are planning to sit and have breakfast with us, please let us know, either by posting in the event, or by messaging us direct so we can confirm numbers with the venue. Itinerary: We will meet at Loftus Oval Carpark which has plenty of room and is low car friendly. This is a quick turn into the Royal National Park and some nice roads and scenery. After Stanwell Tops we will turn off and head onto the awesome Sea Cliff Bridge. Following this it is a short trip to Austi Beach Cafe. There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehaviour will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave. Thanks guys and hope to see you there!
    • YO- have been searching and searching for an a31 chassis plug pinout, or someone who knows which wire is for tach.  ceffy was flooded past dash during a hurricane.  having an electrical gremlin appear. tach is wonky reading consistent with a short, and on occasion the right side of my speedo lighting will flicker just for a second then go back to normal.  if no pinout available does anyone know if the tach harness opens or branches anywhere behind the dash? im suspecting a possible root behind the radio as there are more shorts in that area on the accessory loop.
    • Means something is not set up right, tune/calibration related.  
    • Finally replaced the previous temporary mesh indicator surrounds (temporary was the last 10+ years 😂) with a 3D printed GTR style version for the front indicators. I think it looks a lot nicer than the old setup and at least the indicators now point in the correct direction rather than angled off. Needed a little bit of tweaking to deal with the intercooler piping but got there in the end. Old and new photos below. 
    • It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.
