Hey everyone.

Haven't posted in a while and there has been a fair amount of progress on my little piggy.

So basically bought "what I thought was a bog stock 25". Turned out it pretty much was except for the Exedy brass button clutch. Decided that it wouldn't stand up to the constant abuse from my shit driving so purchased one of these bad boys.

It's an xtreme drift clutch kit minus the flywheel because I wasn't happy with the info that I grabbed from everyone about the lightened flywheel. So decided to get the standard flywheel machined up all nice and pretty. Replaced all exhaust studs, water pump, rear main, both cam seals, crank seal, rocker cover gaskets and washers and put in a gates racing timing belt for an added 37 and a half hp. Everything except the timing belt was genuine and crack priced, but big ups to Steve at Northside Nissan for his help. That guy knows way to much about skyline parts.

Had the rocker covers robo washed by a mate and then gave them a lick of hi temp paint to make them look standard but clean ready for pits and then chucked them on. Came up a treat. Very gingerly placed the exhaust manifold on :| and then on went the standard turbo with all the standard lines apart from the drain which I replaced. Then it was time for the magic to happen. Clutch when on with little to no problems which was great then followed by the box. This is the guy that bought Jimmah's Laurel so I think he is entitled to look a little crazy sometimes.

In went the donk. Went in surprisingly easy and bolted straight up to the 34 cross member.

And as it sits now. It has a new heart, it isn't beating yet but it's in there.

    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
