Hmm I thought the dolphin intake was of dubious quality?

I wouldnt say the quality is dubious, its a really solidly constructed unit. The dubiousness would be the effectiveness it has on the restriction that needs to be removed.

It only replaces the black plastic bit between the AFM and the rest of the intake.. obvious the AFM housing is in this photo (not mine) but it illustrates it fairly well.

Dunc should be able to tell us now, but he's probably off driving it to see what it's like!

Have you got any photos of it out of the car Dunc?

Car is boxed into the garage and I cant be bothered moving stuff off the driveway :domokun:

I didnt bother taking any photos of it out of the car, it looks identical (+ engine dirt) to the photos on Dolphins website.. you can see exactly how it mounts up based on the kink compared to the stock plastic unit :thumbsup:

I'd be curious if you notice any difference then. It doesn't look like it'll make bugger all difference to me. Same shape, except metal instead of plastic?!

Got my rear sway bar onto my car last night....rear end is working much better.

Bald Hangkangs in the wet with LSD and 2WD is a little bit of fun......note to myself!!.....install windscreen wipers on the passenger and drivers side windows! laugh.gif

What is the plan now? I've seen you in a few different discussions now and it sounds like it might be a bit unique...

Sussing out a few 340mm rotor combinations to run with an R32 GTR caliper/ offset bracket. If it works out, I'll detail the whole thing; could be a budget monster upgrade.

A chance chat with another forum member has got me motivated again.

Could also end in tears; we'll see.

Interesting. 340x32?

Could be good, but when the new setup runs out I'll probably go 350Z Brembo or Akebono.

That's the plan, hopefully be able to bring it in under a grand, closer to $800.

i'll be up for that one Dale, got the callipers already :)

Apparently there was some industrial action in the states, and my BCs are still sitting in a container somewhere >_<

Now I'm unlikely to get them for another 2 weeks :rant:

Car is getting a service and wash today though, have to clean the bugs off.

I was really lucky and got my Tanabe Sustec coil overs from JDM Concept when he had an end of financial year sale so I got them delivered for the ultimate bargain price of $740 nyaanyaa.gif Thats half price and it was the only set he had on sale. I love the ride and most importantly the boss doesn't complain about them being too hard.

Pulled bumper reo and intercooler off yesterday and this morning. cleaned intercooler, not very dirty though, cleaned lights while they where out, look a little better. cut reo a bit in an effort to get my front bumper sitting better over the intercooler, reo sits heaps better but front bar still out of adjustment though. bad. guess i'll have to put the sikaflex back in to hide the gap, and save for an R34 conversion kit haha

Absolutely nothing yet cause I don't pick it up till next Sunday lol. But 3" dump pipe back exhaust will be fitted straight away and have nismo gt le mans group A turbos, jjr adjustable cam gears, 750cc injectors and walbro fuel pump (if needed) ready to go and will be getting haltech platinum pro for management. Will keep updating progress

    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power 
    • Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
