There is a running joke with my mates about having all our cars on the road at once, so far it hasn't happened.

Seems to be a common trend.......... Fkn cars! Oh well, soon!

I have all the parts apart from a damn seal that i am waiting on from Nissan so i can at least get it 99% back together, slap the seal in, bed the clutch it then go to JEM

Picking my car up this arvo, no more blown fuses yay!

Awesome! So its ready for the Nats as is? How the hell are you going to keep it on the track? :P

Perfect weather to pick it up too

Would be cool to see both of you do a roll on at Wakefield just for science you know

Ill kill it!!!

Until he comes on boost :(

Basically. Just a service, a buff and its ready to go.

It says pretty straight now after some rear alignment tweaks however 4th gear needs some wheel work lol

looking at hanaldo's vids and dyno, wondering if its the turbo thats maxed out, cause with the garrett, well my one, seems to gain 10kw every 1psi, no dig just thinking or has it changed lately?

Sorry dude, you've confused me lol... What's the question? :P

ah i was going thru hanaldo's build thread and watching his video's and he was saying that he wasnt making enough power and even with extra boost it wasnt making more, probably wrong section :ph34r:

Wrong build thread :P although he will be through to answer soon enough haha

They spend just as much time in each others build threads. Same same

Sooooooo the seal going to arrive in time

So you can zutututu?

On the topic of PJ I couldn't believe the traction issues even in 4th! That thing is off it's nut!

:touch:

It'll be here soon! Nissan has it, was meant to be here today but didn't arrive... There will be lots of zututututu

Oh and PJ's car IS nuts lol

FLUTTERBOYZ IN THE HOUSE.

The BOV won't stay on the pipe as the idiots that worked on my car before i got it to JEM were Deadset fk wits and would explain why they are now pretty much out of business.... I'll weld it up until after the nats and then I'll get a proper flange welded up etc (lol I love that word)

Nope it would be full plumbed back for legals as my car is stock... Lol with those springs it would open under full boost = fail?

    • It's interesting seeing everyone talk about what level of risk they are happy to tolerate.  Building a GTR always has a level of risk, you could be that lucky guy that drops 20k on the engine build alone and still has the thing go pop on the dyno. Life is fun like that.  The way I see it, the thing is a toy to be enjoyed. I'd be happy to turn up the power on stock motor and limit the risk with sensible tuning and engine protection. If it still goes pop, it is what it is. The car isn't a daily driver so it can happily sit while a plan is made to sort it out.  Given this thing will be a street car only, I really feel it's worth the (relatively small if managed well) risk to turn the power up to around 350KW on e85.  I don't think anyone getting into the skyline game now is doing it out of logic. Surely it is a purely emotional decision so I'm not sure how important it is to think about the engine build logically. The heart wants what it wants.  @joshuaho96 little note for Josh, I run my 525 pump flat out all the time and through the factory lines without any issues. (excluding the melting connectors, that's sorted now. we'll pretend it never happened lol)
    • But the Nexus S3 is very expensive and won't be as purpose-built for the application as a separate electronic boost controller :^) More seriously my pet issue here would be that the Walbro 525 running at 100% duty cycle is going to require more FPR than the stock setup can handle. I'm also pretty sure from what I've seen elsewhere you might want to slow down the pump regardless unless you're going to come up with some way of upsizing the fuel lines coming from the fuel tank. Factory 8mm fuel line doesn't actually flow very much if you want to keep pressure drop down between the fuel pump outlet and FPR. If you really want to "keep it simple" I would run only as much pump as you need and source a fuel pump controller to slow down the pump in the vain hope of being able to run stock-style FPRs which are pretty dinky. Or just use the HICAS lines and it should be mostly fine. OP should also really think hard about what profile they'd want out of the turbo. My pet choice here would be the G1 profile rather than anything higher power but YMMV. I already think ~stock turbo lag is pretty bad so I don't want to make it worse. In "gentle canyon cruising" I found that I spent a lot of time around 4-4.5k RPM. I also recommend DIYing labor if you're detail-oriented enough. Costs are high for labor + if you do it yourself you can be your own quality control.
    • GTSBoy is again on the money. My actual advice? Sell the car. (really). For what it's worth as is, you can sidegrade into something much better. If you care about function then this is the actual move. If you want a Skyline to perform, set aside about $100K to do it. This is NOT a typo. You will see right away these are two very different mindsets. Realistically we're talking full restomod for any Skyline still kicking around. Have an honest think about which one you are.. and what you want to do, and how much you want to invest in this (with no return).
    • I promise there will be no chance of replacing the rad support....  It is barely twisted and it's way more likely to just be driven around with a slightly twisty support. As long as the headlight can be bolted in there then no harm no foul lol. The reo may need to be un-bent a little but truth be told if it all somewhat lines up and is hidden when the car is assembled the level of f**ks will be 0.0 
    • this thread delivers, once again Skyline owners, our cars spend more time off the road than on the road
