who made that exhaust for you?

Looks good but I don't like those round resonators in the centre position. They really need a smaller one or 2 like the Legalis or an oval shaped one.

no worries :)

so why would i be sitting on 15PSI then???

do i need to go an buy a boost controller ??? :(

anyways ill put up pic's later of the new system :)

I think there's some variation in factory boost levels, eg my RS should "only" run at 12psi (or 12.6 to be exact) according to most sources, but my Pricol gauge had it at 14.x psi (dropping off to 13psi just before a gear change) on the stock exhaust. Now with full turbo back system it occasionally runs of the scale (15psi gauge only).

A typical boost controller won't let you run lower boost than standard. I think you will have to play with wastegate actuator springs or the like, to achieve that.

yep your right.. rs was 12 psi and axis n ARX were set at 14.6.. i think to pull the extra weight

Penrith City Exhausts did the work, he's worked on all my cars and a few of my mates....... does a top quality job!!!

Stock rear muffler?

yeah stock muffler atm i wanted to see how much better it was and how loud it was before we desided on a rear muffler......... probly gonna go for a EVO X spec muffler with custom twin tips.

In the link in iamhe77's signature about 2 posts up :P

lol cheers :)

with the new exhaust i noticed whilst goin up a hill in 4th gear at 2500rpm im now hitting 16PSI steadily......... not sure if i should be worried

  • 2 weeks later...

19x9.5"? Lol, what size?

20X8.5" could get the 9.5" for the rear but i thought it would be better not to...........

gonna see how they fit on the car if i'm not happy that they fill the guards ill reconsider

also i'm told they will be skyline offset, R35 im assuming...........

If your offset is +30 to +20 you'll kill it, they'll look nice.

the skyline offset i was told should be +30ish....... and if ours is +20, then the wheel will sit furthur in the guard rather than out.

anyways im ordering coilovers while im at it............. pharck i need to get kickin on the overtime LOL

Your AXIS rims are +30 offset, so they'll go out 10mm.

Only if they are the same width rim.

Aren't Axis rims 8" wide?

If so, they should stick out ~15mm compared to the Axis rims I think

You're right ; forgot the new ones were 8.5":blush:

Axis are 18x8"

Yeah 16.35mm :rolleyes: , so the guards will need a roll, but not very much. Depends on tyre width.

Dale ya reakon i can get the wheels milled down 10mm ? know anywhere that might do it if need be ???

Ok, sorry I must be missing something here. What offset did he say these things were?+20 or +30?

I had a quick squiz on the net, and could only findthose wheels in a 20x8.5 114.3 in a +35 offest. With a 120 PDC they come in a +20 or +40. Not saying there aren't more options, but thats all i could quickly find.

So, with a 20x8.5 +35, you will have 11mm less on the inner, and extend 1mm further out. No need for rolling or anything if it clears on the inside.

I'm sorry if i'm barking up the wrong tree, its late, but I just don't want him to be thinking he's going to be rolling guards/shaving wheels...:thumbsup:

    • Hmm... From my experience you get about 0.25° camber change per mm of RUCA length change. So, to correct from -2.5 up to less than -1° (or, more than -1° if you look at the world as a mathematician does) then you'd be making 6-8mm of length change on the RUCA. From a stock length of 308mm, that's 2-2.5% difference in RUCA length. My RUCAs are currently very close to stock length - certainly only 2-3mm different from stock. I had to adjust my tension arms by 6mm to minimise the bump steer. That's 6mm out of 210, which is 2.8%. That's a 2.8% change on those, compared to a <1% change on the RUCAs. So the stock geometry already has worse bump steer than is possible - you can improve it even if you don't change the RUCA length. If you lengthen the RUCAs at all, then you will definitely be adding bump steer. Again, with my car, I recently had an unpleasant amount of bump steer, stemming from a number of things that happened one after another without me having an opportunity to correct for them. I only had to change the tension arm lengths by 1mm to minimise the resulting bump steer. (Granted, I also had to dial out a lot of extra toe-in in the rear, and excessive rear toe-in will make bump steer behaviour worse). Relatively tiny little adjustments having been made - the car is now completely different. Was horrifying how much it wanted to steer from the rear on any significant single wheel bump/dip. And it was even bad on expansion joints on long sweepers on freeway entry/exits, which are notionally hitting both rear wheels at the same time. My point is, the crappy Nissan multilink is quite sensitive to these things (unlike the very nice Toyota suspension!). And I think 99.75% of Skyline owners are blissfully ignorant of what they are driving around on. Sadly, it is a non-trivial exercise to set up to measure and correct bump steer. I am happy to show my rig, which involves nasty chunks of wood bolted to the hub, mirrors, lasers, graph paper targets and other horrors. Just in case anyone wants to see how it is done. I'll just have to set it up to take the photos.
    • What do you have in that bad boy ? Ill go with the 725cc since I'll be going with Nistune ( would definitely like more engine protection but Haltech is too far out of reach at the moment... plus, Ill probably have a pretty safe tune as its a daily, not gonna be chasing peak power 24/7 ahahah ). Are Xspurt a safe choice?  Pete's great. He didnt mention anything about traction arm length so I reckon it may be good. When I get some new wheels/tire later down the road I'll ask him about it and get his opinion on em. I heard from Gary that you've got the bilsteins too, are you running the sway bars too? and what other suspension goodies do you have installed or would recommend?
