that is a beautiful base car to start with. Really just needs rims and you're set. The right offsets are crucial as you won't be able to get this thing that low with how deep your kit is.

go for 19X9's in the mid teens and you will be laughing. eg (19x9 +15)

very jealous - but hope you enjoy washing your car, going to have your work cut out for you with black!

guys hoping you could give me some advice on a fuel pump. I'm not looking to rack up huge numbers or anything, but would like to adjust power for street/daily use.

a few people have recommended the Deatschwerks 300LPH In-Tank Fuel Pump which is appealing because its e85/ethanol compatible

..or Walbro Fuel Pump GSS342 which does less LPH (255), but not sure if e85 compatible.. could someone confirm? Would it be necessary/beneficial to get the larger Deatschwerks?

so far ive collected 660cc injectors, z32 AFM, boost controller..

Cheers!

My power goal is around 250+.. but... thats not set in concrete. :no:

There is an exhaust system installed, not 100% where it begins (turbo/dump back).. and will most likely get some new cats in there too. I assume there are compliance cats in there. The down-sides of living away from home.. no tools. :yucky: Any suggestions on an exhaust system?

I have a z32 AFM in my hands, and currently awaiting 660cc injectors, boost controller to arrive. I'm still on the search for a FMIC.

I'd like to get most of these in my possession and install it all at once.

Then top it all off with nistune.

As for turbo, I think I might just run the stock turbo for awhile.. then look into getting it rebuilt.. OR a new larger one? ohhhh.. the decisions...

How does that all sound? Feel free to suggest anything..

if you're keeping the stock turbo - the injectors, fuel pump, Z32 etc are not needed.

Stock turbo will run 12psi safely, or 14psi for an unknown amount of time before throwing a wheel.

12psi will get you around 200-210rwkw - if you want any higher than that then you need to upgrade the turbo (hi-flow, GT30, TR43) at which point (but not before) all those other bits will become useful.

if i were you i'd take care of your plugs, coils (if needed), get a high quality oil in, do your exhaust properly, FMIC, get a nistune ecu in, an EBC and the 12V+ mod to your stock fuel pump and get it tuned by a pro - that will net you 200rkw.

if you want any more power than that, its new turbo time - and then you can throw on all thoese other bits you have. you're wasting your time and a tune putting them in before you have a turbo that can supply enough air to take advantage.

EDIT: for your FMIC, check out just jap and their cooling pro turn flow kits.

      I'm with GTS, that's not an actual overheat issue. That's an electrical issue.

      So, it's clearly an electrical problem. Either with the gauge itself, or the sender. It appears to be voltage sensitive (ie, alternator output affects the reading.

      Rb26- Enlarging Std Throttle Bodies

      By LaurelPWR · Posted

      Yes, at this stage of SAU threads, I  automatically assume that anyone here knows that everything depends on each and every setup and its choice of parts and what an individual wants from the setup. I think your misunderstanding what I've said, I'm not saying your curve will move to the right.. I'm stating the opposite; that my setup has a much larger turbo than my last one, my current exhaust manifold runners are 2-3x longer than the last one, the intercooler is longer and thicker (hks 103mm thick), the itbs are now oversized from 45mm up to 49mm, and the plenum is now a larger Nismo plenum that's been port matched. As a result, I'm making more power, torque and boost 1000rpm earlier than my last setup. My curve moved left, in a big way. You guys with 800-1000+hp turbos should be considering hks v-cam or the other Japanese company Sakura who makes RB25 Neo vct adaptor kits for RB26's. they all make more power / boost / torque far earlier and higher peak numbers. Dahtone Racing modifies the Hks v-cam systems to his own specs and he also developed the worlds first and best dbw individual throttle body kits, to complement his V-cam. Every single car is 800-1200+hp and they all produce huge gains in response and peak power.

      I have a 2008 Skyline 370gt with about 160,000 km on the clock currently. A while ago, I noticed the temp gauge would start climbing but it comes down when I give it some throttle. I took it into the shops. The technicians comments are transcripted below. Reported they couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle mechanically and they pressure tested the cooling system. Funnily enough, the technician commented that the temperature dropped back down when the car is stationary but this is when I'd notice the temp gauge to be climbing. Just wondering if anyone else experienced anything similar to enlighten me? Cos at the onset, the temps were going up one tick and then comes back down when I step on it. Now, the temps are climbing all the way to the top of the gauge, and it's making me very nervous lol. It also doesn't come down to the neutral position anymore. PS I do have a small exhaust leak near the drivers side caused by when I got f**ked by a really steep driveway at a mall I never visited before. Not sure if this would affect the sensor. Technician comments: Check and verify Fan/Cooling system - ALL OK max 106*C and fans operating at 100% Cools down right away. Checked Fan Operation - 55%@101*C, 85% @ 104*C and 100% @ 105*C Vehicle did not exceed these temperatures with max load. Temperature recovered back to 99*C after fan operation while vehicle Stationary.
